Enterprise buyers will ask how your AI handles contact data.
MarTech and SalesTech founders face a specific security problem — your AI product touches more personal data than almost any other category. When enterprise procurement asks how you handle it, you need an answer that closes the deal, not kills it.
When your AI sales tool hits enterprise procurement
You've built a product that helps sales teams move faster. The demo goes well. Then the security questionnaire arrives.
You: Our AI enriches contact records, scores leads, and drafts personalised outreach automatically.
Procurement: Which LLM processes the contact data? Do you have a Data Processing Agreement with that provider?
Procurement: How do you ensure personal data isn't retained in model context? What's your data residency?
Procurement: Your AI scores leads — is that system subject to EU AI Act Article 6 high-risk classification?
You: We're working on that documentation. Can we have an extension?
Procurement: We'll need to pause the evaluation until this is resolved.
Contact data in LLM APIs
Every AI enrichment call sends names, emails, and company data to a third-party model. Without a DPA, that's a live GDPR violation.
Lead scoring under EU AI Act
AI systems that rank or score people may qualify as high-risk under the EU AI Act. Most founders don't know until procurement asks.
CRM integration attack surface
HubSpot, Salesforce, and Apollo integrations connected to an LLM pipeline create new attack vectors most dev agencies don't account for.
Outreach automation and consent
AI-generated personalised outreach at scale raises specific GDPR consent and legitimate interest questions enterprise legal teams will challenge.
Six questions that kill MarTech AI deals
These are the exact questions enterprise procurement teams ask MarTech and SalesTech vendors. Most founders can't answer them. We make sure you can.
“Which AI model processes our contact data and where is it hosted?”
Most founders say OpenAI. Procurement asks for the DPA. Most don't have one.
“How do you prevent PII from being retained in model training?”
Requires explicit API configuration and documented policy. Rarely in place.
“Is your lead scoring system subject to EU AI Act classification?”
Automated ranking of individuals may qualify as high-risk. Almost never assessed.
“What is your data residency and can you confirm EU-only processing?”
Default LLM API calls route through US servers. Non-compliant for many EU enterprise buyers.
“How do you secure the CRM integration and what data does it access?”
OAuth scopes are typically far broader than needed. A standard finding in every audit.
“Do you have ISO 27001 or SOC 2 and can you share your last pen test?”
Certification takes months. A pen test takes weeks to schedule. The deal can't wait.
What we fix for MarTech founders
Every advisory and engineering engagement covers the specific issues that kill deals in this sector.
GDPR-compliant LLM pipeline design
We architect your AI data flows so personal contact data is redacted before it hits the LLM API, DPAs are in place with every third-party model provider, and data residency is documented and defensible.
EU AI Act classification assessment
We assess whether your lead scoring, outreach automation, or ranking systems fall under EU AI Act high-risk classification — and what you need to do if they do.
CRM integration security hardening
We review every integration — HubSpot, Salesforce, Apollo, Clay — and reduce OAuth scopes to least-privilege, document data access, and close the attack surface created by third-party data enrichment.
Enterprise security questionnaire prep
We pre-answer the security questionnaire specific to MarTech and SalesTech procurement. When the email arrives, you send it the same day.
Prompt injection defence for sales AI
AI outreach tools and sales agents are vulnerable to prompt injection via inbound data — contact records, email replies, website scraping. We build defences into the pipeline so your AI can't be turned against your clients.
