Claude Code Security: Enterprise Best Practices & Risk Mitigation
Claude Code operates directly in developers' terminals with the same permissions as the user—reading files, executing commands, and accessing production systems through MCP tools. Without proper governance, organizations cannot see what these agents access or control their actions. Enterprises need comprehensive security controls that include permission management, network isolation, audit logging, and compliance frameworks to protect sensitive code and intellectual property. An LLM Proxy provides essential visibility and control over how Claude Code and other coding agents interact with your systems, transforming shadow AI into sanctioned AI while maintaining developer productivity.
This article outlines actionable strategies for securing Claude Code deployments, covering enterprise configuration, risk mitigation, compliance alignment, and operational monitoring to ensure both security and development velocity.
