Claude accounts for nearly 30% of enterprise LLM spend as of early 2026, according to data cited by Portal26.
That figure has grown faster than most organisations anticipated; the governance infrastructure around those deployments hasn’t kept pace, and security budgets remain sized for a slower rollout. The reality is that Claude is already embedded across many enterprise environments with limited visibility into how it’s being used.
Portal26 has made its core AI governance and security tools available at no cost for organisations running Claude across their business – including Claude AI, Claude Code and Claude Cowork.
The paid platform continues to offer the full advanced capability set; the free tier is designed to give any organisation a functional governance starting point with minimal setup time.
What The Free Tier Covers
The no-cost offering is focused on discovery and visibility: user, model and agent discovery, agent access graphs, tool call visibility, token usage and cost tracking, and conversation threads. The intent is to give security and IT teams a clear baseline picture of Claude activity across the business before moving to policy enforcement or deeper controls.
“Deploying Claude is the starting point,” says Pakshi Rajan, Chief GenAI and Product Officer at Portal26. “What organisations need upfront is the infrastructure to discover all Claude AI, Claude Code, and Claude Cowork usage, surface all conversations and tool calls, govern it, protect it, and prove its value. Portal26 is the only platform that provides foundational capabilities free of cost, making security extremely accessible and high-value enterprise Claude deployments a reality.”
In its April 2026 blog post, Anthropic acknowledged that while it has begun to provide some oversight tooling, ultimate responsibility for governance and controls rests with the deploying organisation.
According to Portal26, the primary security exposure exists in the shortfall between Anthropic’s out-of-the-box capabilities and true enterprise security demands.

Advanced Capabilities And The Broader Platform
Beyond the free tier, the fully integrated platform adds: comprehensive security and risk detection, real-time security policy enforcement, token policy and cost enforcement, MCP controls and policy enforcement, enterprise integrations into IDP, SSO, SIEM and incident response platforms, and access and privacy controls. These are available at Portal26’s standard pricing.
The platform also addresses Shadow AI – undiscovered AI tool usage outside sanctioned channels. Portal26 claims organisations using the platform detect three times more Shadow AI than those relying on legacy security providers, with ten times more security coverage overall. For enterprises where agent usage is expanding faster than IT visibility, this detection layer has become the starting point for any serious governance programme.
“Portal26 gives organisations the full-lifecycle AI management capability they need to move from cautious experimentation to confident, scalable, and measurable Claude adoption – securely, and at speed,” says Arti Raman, CEO of Portal26. “Most importantly, Portal26 provides critical governance and security capabilities for Claude free of charge, making it widely available and accessible to Claude users everywhere.”
The free AI governance and security offering is available now at portal26.ai.
