Autessa Security & Compliance as an alternative to Notion
Notion’s security page is a familiar reference for workspace security: SSO, SCIM on Enterprise, encryption, and a promise not to train on customer data. Notion is built around pages. Autessa is built for records and AI that takes action, so it protects rows, columns, credentials and agents as well as documents.

Where Autessa wins
Why teams choose Autessa over Notion
Agents inherit the person
An Autessa run acts as whoever started it, into every sub-agent and tool. Two people asking the same agent can get different answers, each correct for their access.
Structured data, fine-grained
Row rules and column masks protect individual records and fields, not only pages, and every read can be logged.
More than documents through MCP
The Autessa MCP gives Claude and your own agents your records, tools and run history under your identity, with masks and row rules applied to each call.
A security app you can change
Autobot can add an approval step or build the access report your auditor wants, down to the code. Notion customization stops at its blocks and databases.
FAQ
Autessa and Notion: questions
Which single sign-on providers does Autessa support?
Autessa SSO works with Google Workspace and Microsoft Entra ID, with verified domains, a default role for new members and Require SSO per domain.
How is Autessa different from Notion for AI security?
Autessa agents run as the person who started them, personal data can be stripped before a prompt reaches any model, and tools use credentials they can never read.
What can I customize?
Roles, shares, row rules, masks and session lengths are settings, and the apps themselves can be changed down to the code by Autobot or your developers.
Can Claude use my Autessa data safely through MCP?
Yes. The Autessa MCP acts as the person who connected it, so it sees only what they can see, with masks applied.
