Is OpenAI Platform safe for work?

The OpenAI Platform is the API and console developers use to build on OpenAI's models with their own keys. Here is where it shows up, and how to see and govern it across your team.

What it is
The OpenAI Platform is the API and console developers use to build on OpenAI's models with their own keys.
Where it shows up

Common questions

How do I see who is using OpenAI Platform?
Install Northbeams across your fleet and your first sweep lands within 24 hours, with every OpenAI Platform user attributed by name across browser, desktop, CLI, and MCP. No proxy, no MITM cert, no network change.
Can I block OpenAI Platform?
Yes. Block, warn, redact, or allow it by team in one click, and coach users toward a sanctioned tool at the DNS layer.
Is OpenAI Platform sanctioned or high-risk?
That is your call. Northbeams sorts every tool as sanctioned, unknown, or high-risk and lets you set the policy per team. OpenAI Platform sits in the unknown bucket by default until you decide.
