Secure Monday.com for AI
Monday.com boards contain project data, budget tracking, team assignments, and sensitive business operations. A single API token gives AI access to every board in your workspace. PortEden restricts AI to specific boards and enforces read-only access.
The Problem
Giving AI direct access to your data is risky. Here's what can go wrong.
All Boards Visible to AI
Monday.com API tokens grant access to every board in your workspace. Budget tracking boards, HR boards with team compensation, and executive planning boards are all visible alongside project management boards.
AI Can Modify and Delete Items
With write access, AI can create items, update columns, change statuses, and delete items across all boards. A single automation error can overwrite budget figures, change assignments, or delete critical project data.
Item Updates Contain Sensitive Context
Monday.com item updates and conversations often contain vendor pricing, budget approvals, personnel decisions, and client negotiations. All of this is fully exposed when AI reads board data.
How PortEden Protects You
Six layers of security between AI and your data.
Board-Level Access Restrictions
Define allow and block rules for specific Monday.com boards. AI only sees Engineering and Product boards while HR, Finance, Budget, and Executive boards are completely hidden from all queries.
Read-Only Mode
Enforce read-only access so AI can view items, statuses, and board data but cannot create, edit, or delete any items. Prevent accidental modifications to your Monday.com workflow.
Update Visibility Controls
Hide item updates and conversations on sensitive boards or across all boards. AI sees item names, columns, and statuses without accessing the discussion threads that contain confidential context.
Full Audit Trail
Every board access, item read, search query, and blocked request is logged. Know exactly which boards AI accessed, which items were returned, and what was blocked.
