# Activate the Data Sensitivity Check

# Activate the Data Sensitivity Check {#ariaid-title1}

Release version: Brazil  
Updated October 22, 2026  
![](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/portal-asset/ico-clock) 1 minute to read  
Activate the Data Sensitivity Check so that AI Gateway helps filter personally identifiable information in transactions with the MCP servers that you choose.

## Before you begin

AI Gateway must be on. While it's paused, the policy can't be changed.

Role required: sn_ai_governance.ai_steward or admin

## Procedure

1. In AI Control Tower, navigate to SettingsAI Gateway.
2. Select the Policies tab.
3. Optional: To define which data the policy detects, select Configure sensitive data types. The Data Privacy configuration opens in a new browser tab.
4. Turn on the toggle in the policy banner, and then select Activate in the confirmation dialog.  
   The banner reads This policy is activated. The change can take a few minutes to apply.
5. In the Servers running under this policy list, turn on the Active toggle for each server that the policy should apply to, and then select Activate in the confirmation dialog for each one.

## Result

The policy applies to every tool on the servers whose Active toggle is on, and AI Gateway helps filter personally identifiable information in their transactions. To exclude individual tools on a server, see [Apply the Data Sensitivity Check to a server's tools](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/B73hHHvIsA4nFo2uH6fhGw "Choose which of an MCP server's tools the Data Sensitivity Check inspects.").
