Any EU operator using external LLM providers
Up to 4% of global annual turnover (GDPR Article 83)
When an AI agent without egress filtering sends internal data to a third-party LLM provider, it moves personal or proprietary data to an external server with a different data controller. Under GDPR Article 33, this is potentially a reportable data breach requiring notification within 72 hours. The fine for a breach -- and for failure to notify within the window -- reaches 4% of global annual turnover. Most companies do not know the breach happened until long after the reporting window has closed, compounding the liability.
Scout fix
egress filtering keeps data inside your infrastructure; audit log provides breach timeline evidence; documented compliance posture for insurers and regulators
