Claude Cowork for Enterprise (2026): Admin Controls, Pricing and Security | Mintive Blog

Claude Cowork is an enterprise AI agent designed to autonomously complete multi-step knowledge-work tasks across files, applications, and systems, with local execution occurring in isolated device-based virtual machines and cloud execution running on Anthropic infrastructure. The guidance distinguishes Team and Enterprise plans, noting that Enterprise is required for Compliance API access, audit logs, SCIM provisioning, custom RBAC, retention controls, and certain network restrictions, while both tiers support SSO, administration, connector controls, and OpenTelemetry telemetry. It emphasizes that security risks, particularly prompt injection, third-party MCP connectors, browser access, and incomplete native logging, require layered controls such as allowlists, human approvals, MDM deployment, SIEM integration, and phased pilots. Compliance considerations include SOC 2, GDPR, data residency, and a limited HIPAA BAA covering Cowork local mode but excluding cloud execution. The document recommends selecting security configurations based on organizational risk tolerance, monitoring usage and costs during rollout, and reviewing policies, connectors, and access regularly. It also presents Mintive’s MCP Gateway, Agent Monitor, and agent identity tools as optional supplementary governance capabilities for organizations seeking centralized credential handling, cross-platform monitoring, tool-level access controls, and separate identities for autonomous agents.
