What the Claude Connector Captures

check-circle: User Prompts: Captures prompts submitted by users during Claude interactions.

check-circle: AI Responses: Captures generated Claude responses used in drafting, summarization, and decision-support workflows.

check-circle: Contextual Metadata: Captures interaction metadata needed to understand session context and activity.

check-circle: Session Threading: Preserves per-session interaction flow across related prompts and responses.

check-circle: Attachment References: Preserves attachment links or references returned by the API when available.

check-circle: Optional Original Data Attachments: Retains original interaction data as attachments when configured.

How the Claude Connector Works

The Claude connector uses scheduled or ad hoc API collection to retrieve monitored-user activity, normalize records, apply filters and policies before archive commit, and deliver output to the Arctera Unified Platform.

t-b-s
Step 1: Configure Compliance Access
Generate a Compliance Access Key in the Claude organization settings and assign the read:compliance_activities, read:compliance_user_data, and read:compliance_org_data scopes at creation.
Step 2: Authenticate and Retrieve Monitored Users
Enter the Compliance Access Key in Capture, validate API access, and retrieve the list of users available for monitoring.
Step 3: Run Scheduled or Ad Hoc Collection
Execute scheduled or ad hoc API collection for configured users without intercepting live sessions. Claude history is retrieved in windows of up to 30 days per collection session.
Step 4: Standardize Interaction Records
Transform prompts, responses, contextual metadata, and available attachment references into standardized output while preserving per-session threading and selected body-format options.
Step 5: Apply Filters, Policies, and Delivery
Apply configured filters and policy identifiers before archive commit, then route normalized records to the configured Arctera Unified Platform archive target.

Supported Environments

The Claude integration operates across supported Claude cloud environments, with Capture deployed in private cloud or self-hosted infrastructure.

Compliance & Regulatory Use Cases

t-b-s
Compliance and Risk Teams

Retain Claude interactions for regulated recordkeeping and AI governance

When employees use Claude for daily tasks, Arctera automatically captures user prompts, AI responses, and key context, storing them securely in one central hub. This gives compliance teams complete visibility into AI activity across the organization, making routine surveillance straightforward and ensuring your records stay complete and audit-ready.
Compliance, Legal Teams and Risk Teams

Investigate AI-assisted drafting and decisions

If questions arise about how Claude was used to draft content or inform key decisions, Arctera lets you quickly review the exact conversation sequence, context, and shared references. Compliance and legal teams can easily piece together the full interaction history to verify policy adherence and mitigate potential risk without hassle.
Legal and eDiscovery Teams
When legal or regulatory matters require a closer look at AI usage, Arctera preserves Claude prompts, responses, and metadata as structured, defensible records. Legal teams can easily search, place holds, and review relevant conversations using familiar eDiscovery workflows, saving time and simplifying oversight.
Compliance and Audit Teams

Provide an auditable record of AI-assisted work

When internal auditors or external regulators need proof of proper oversight, Arctera provides clear, organized logs of your team's Claude interactions with full thread context. Compliance leads can confidently deliver complete records for reviews and audit responses, demonstrating proactive risk management.

Frequently Asked Questions

t-b-s
What content types does the Claude integration capture?
The Arctera Claude integration captures all core interactions across your organization's Claude environment. This includes employee prompts, AI-generated responses, session history, and contextual metadata. It also tracks referenced attachments and documents shared during conversations. By retaining these complete interaction threads, Arctera gives your team full visibility into how AI is being used across business workflows.
Does the Claude connector impact Claude performance?
No, the integration operates completely in the background without affecting the user experience or system performance. Arctera connects directly through cloud APIs to gather interaction data, meaning employees can interact with Claude seamlessly and without lag. Compliance and IT administrators can also customize data collection settings to optimize processing and focus on the data most critical to their organization.
How is Claude connector access secured?
Security is built into every level of the integration. Arctera connects to Claude using secure, industry-standard API authorization keys with dedicated read-only permissions configured by your administrator. This ensures that Arctera only collects the necessary compliance data without requiring invasive permissions or exposure of sensitive user login credentials.
How does the Claude integration support regulatory audits?
Arctera automatically transforms raw AI interaction data into organized, audit-ready records. These records are securely stored within the Arctera Unified Platform, making it easy for compliance, legal, and risk teams to perform reviews, handle internal investigations, respond to audit requests, and fulfill regulatory obligations with confidence and complete defensibility.
How is the Claude connector deployed?
Deploying the Claude connector is simple and non-disruptive. Administrators generate a secure API key within their Claude organization settings, connect it to the Arctera platform, and select which users or groups to monitor. The setup requires no complex software installation on end-user devices, allowing your business to establish AI governance in just a few straightforward steps.
How quickly are Claude messages captured?
Interaction data is captured through automated, regular sync cycles tailored to your operational needs. While capture runs on scheduled batches rather than live streaming, Arctera routinely collects conversation histories to ensure records are promptly indexed and accessible in your central archive for review, legal hold, and reporting.
How does this differ from native Claude retention?
While Claude's native features manage standard chat history within the app, Arctera provides a centralized compliance solution across your entire enterprise. Arctera extracts, standardizes, and unifies Claude interactions alongside your other communication channels (like Slack, Teams, and email), applying unified retention policies, legal hold controls, advanced search, and oversight tools in one place.
