Qadar AI - 2026 Pricing, Features, Reviews & Alternatives

Qadar AI is an AI security, control and governance platform that gives teams a real control layer over everyday AI use — without slowing adoption. It combines browser-level discovery and enforcement (Shield Web) with a central admin, policy and audit console (Shield Control), both shipped and in use today.

Core capabilities:

• Shadow-AI discovery & inventory — automatically detects use of 27+ recognized AI tools (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Copilot, Perplexity and more) and builds a live who-uses-what inventory.

• Runtime policy engine — five enforcement modes (block, warn, observe, justify, transform). Prompts and uploads are inspected before they reach an AI tool; sensitive data (PII, financial, secrets, source code) is detected and can be redacted on-device.

• Central control — group-based policies, approved-AI-app controls and access rules across model providers, managed from one console.

• Audit & governance — a complete, timestamped audit trail of usage and enforcement, plus an AI registry with risk scoring for EU AI Act and GDPR readiness.

Architecture & security: sensitive content is inspected on the device and never leaves it — only governance metadata reaches the customer's own workspace (EU region, row-level-security scoped). Authentication uses SSO (Google OAuth) with MFA/TOTP; administration is role-based with API-key and session management. GDPR-consent aware, with a first-run consent flow in the browser extension.

Deployment is lean — a browser extension plus a cloud console, no rip-and-replace project. Roadmap: Shield Desktop (macOS/Windows), Shield Mobile, and a Control Gateway for API, agent and MCP governance, with SIEM/ITSM/MDM/IdP/GRC integrations.

Best fit: browser-first knowledge-work companies of roughly 50–250 employees in consulting, professional services and tech-enabled B2B with heavy daily AI use, shadow-AI risk and no dedicated AI-security team.
