Removes sensitive data from prompts.
Prompt Sanitization — How It Protects Every Request
Before any user input is sent to an AI model, Cogniforce passes the text through a Prompt Sanitization layer.
Think of it as an intelligent filter that performs three essential tasks in milliseconds:
Detects sensitive information
– Identifies personal data, client names, contract numbers, or any content your policies flag as confidential.Applies your policies automatically
– Removes, masks, or pseudonymizes that information according to pre-defined compliance rules (GDPR, internal NDAs, client mandates).
Even with zero-retention agreements in place, the platform applies strict data-minimization: sensitive inputs are sanitized before any model call, so no third-party LLM provider ever receives them.Logs the action for auditability
– Records what was sanitized and why, giving our security team a clear, tamper-proof trail without storing the sensitive data itself.
Why it matters
For Business Users | For Security & Tech Leaders |
|---|---|
• Peace of mind—“I can ask anything without leaking data.” | • Eliminates the risk of regulated data entering third-party model endpoints. |
• No extra steps or training required. | • Enforces zero-retention, zero-trust principles automatically. |
• Consistent, accurate AI responses. | • Provides verifiable logs to satisfy audits and incident reviews. |
Prompt Sanitization operates invisibly in the background, ensuring everyone—from front-line staff to compliance officers—can leverage AI confidently, knowing sensitive data never leaves its protective boundary.
