Sentra for Claude Enterprise Integration Guide

This guide explains how to connect your Claude Enterprise environment to Sentra.

By integrating with Anthropic’s Compliance API, Sentra discovers and classifies sensitive data stored within Claude Enterprise, including projects, conversations, prompts, uploaded files, and user activity. Findings are surfaced through Sentra’s Data Stores, Assets, Identities, and Findings views, enabling organizations to extend their data security, governance, and compliance programs to Claude.

Important: This integration is read-only. Sentra retrieves content and metadata for discovery and classification purposes only and does not create, modify, or delete any data in your Claude environment.

Prerequisites

Before configuring the integration, ensure that:

• You have a Claude Enterprise subscription. The Compliance API is only available to Claude Enterprise customers.
• Compliance API access has been enabled for your Claude organization.
• You have administrative access to your Claude Enterprise organization.
• You have an active Sentra Scanner deployed in your environment with outbound internet access.

Note: All scanning and classification activities are performed within your environment.

Step 1: Generate a Claude Compliance API Key

The Compliance API key must be created by a Claude Enterprise Primary Owner.

1. Sign in to Claude Enterprise.
2. Follow the steps in this Anthropic Guide: Claude Compliance API key
3. Securely store the generated key.

Step 2: Store the API key in your Cloud Secret Manager 

For enhanced security, you may store the Compliance API key in your cloud provider’s secret manager. 

If you choose this option:

1. Store the API key in the same cloud environment where your Sentra Scanner is deployed.
2. Record the secret identifier or ARN.
3. Provide the secret reference during connector configuration.

Step 3: Create an Anthropic Connector

1. Log in to the Sentra Console using an administrator account.
2. Navigate to Connectors and click Create Connector.
3. Select Anthropic (Claude Enterprise).

Configure the connector parameters: Connector Name, Scanner, Scanner Region

Enter the generated API Key, or the key store identifier where you have stored the credentials. 

Once configuration is complete, click Create Connector.

Your Claude Enterprise environment is now connected to Sentra.

Step 4: Discovery and Scanning

After the connector is created, Sentra automatically begins discovering Claude assets.

The discovery process identifies:

• Claude Projects
• Conversations and chat history
• Prompts
• Uploaded files
• Claude users and identities

Discovered assets are added to Sentra’s managed scanning queue and processed according to available capacity and configured scanning policies.

Step 5: View Results

Once scanning is complete, findings become available throughout the Sentra platform.
