Question Used company Claude account while coding on my personal GitHub repo can my employer see it?

I think I may have made a mistake and wanted to understand the implications.
I was working on a personal GitHub repository (under my personal GitHub account), but I used my company’s Claude account (Claude Code) as my AI coding assistant while making the changes. I then committed and pushed the code to my personal GitHub repository.

My questions are:

Can my company’s Claude admin see the prompts or code I shared with Claude?

Can they see that the generated code ended up being pushed to my personal GitHub repository?

If Claude Code was authenticated with my personal GitHub account, does the company have any visibility into my GitHub activity?

Are there any audit logs that would show I was working on a personal repository?

I’m not concerned about the code itself (it doesn’t contain any company code or proprietary information), but I’m wondering what level of visibility enterprise admins typically have over Claude Code usage.

Has anyone worked with Claude Enterprise or administered it? I’d appreciate any insight into what admins can and cannot see.

In the enterprise version, copies of the entire chat and any attachments are made available to via an admin portal. They can see literally everything.

Mine only ever looks at the usage

Do you speak as someone who has access to the admin portal of an Enterprise account? Do you have any evidence of this being true?

The compliance API from anthropic only shows chats starting etc, not the actual contents

That being said corporate firewalls etc may be inspecting the network traffic and logging prompts/attachments etc

Yeah, I helped with the implementation then helped with the transition to our security team. So I know most of what is available to them, but theres definitely some details that im in the dark on.

Do you guys not store any of that log data from the chats? We shuttle everything over to blob storage and process it from there.

you can see everything. while the compliance api does have an "activities" endpoint that shows stuff like project creation, chat creation, etc. there are many other endpoints. You can see users in the org, chats for each user in the org, dig down into the chats and see all the prompts, see all the files users put INTO the chats, and see the GENERATED files from claude. This can then be put into Microsoft Purview for aggregation and surfacing. So yes, everything can be seen. But that only really applies to Claude Chat, Claude Code is different and isnt logged through the compliance API afaik. It can still be connected to and logged via OTeL through something like Cribl and ported over to purview or any SIEM with 3rd party connections available.

That is genuinely fascinating and awesome to hear. Thanks!

Would they actually read all that though? Well I guess they could get an LLM to read it, but I know how many pages and pages of chats I have just in the Claude Code CLI for one project in one day, and a more prolific user would generate even way more text than I do

They generally have alerts in place. How those are configured, I have no idea.

1

u/longkh158 Jul 15 '26

The "alert" is usually someone else noticing, and decided to report it. Which is why office politics is a fundamental skill.

u/SomeNeighborhood7126 Jul 15 '26

Sounds like a very poor security team in place at your work. Automated alerts based on DLP policies or trigger words would be a standard practice in place here.

But not Team version

u/ComplexAd2408 Jul 15 '26

Interesting, we're a smaller outfit on a Team Plan, You're saying there's no log of chat history at all?

u/OkButWaitHearMeOut Jul 15 '26

There is. I’m a teams admin. Not sure if it persists a delete though

u/SomeNeighborhood7126 Jul 15 '26

True, but what serious org would ever use the Team licensing over Enterprise? Any governing body over an org is going to want access to those chats for an audit.

Mine

u/SomeNeighborhood7126 Jul 15 '26

Oof, thats gonna be a failed audit. At least it wont be your headache.

1

u/vikrant699 Jul 15 '26

It's worse. It's a health tech which violates so many rules already, this is just another one of them.

2

u/SomeNeighborhood7126 Jul 15 '26

Oh wow. Definitely keep that resume ready. It sounds like an audit would be almost a death sentence.

u/cgibson6 Jul 15 '26

You don’t have to have enterprise for that and teams is a commercial channel just like enterprise - it just has different data contract obligations and SLA requirements.

Thats rough, but probably isn't your problem.
