Companies want AI working on their most sensitive data. Our small, global team builds the controls that let them do it without exposing that data.
A health insurer’s support assistant gets this question: “What’s the status of Priya Shah’s claim?” To stay safe, the company strips the name first. The model sees a placeholder and calls the claims system with it. The system finds no match, and the assistant answers “no record found.”
Nothing leaked, and the assistant is useless. Teams that hit this often switch the protection off to ship, and the risk comes back. Keeping data protected while the AI still does its job is what we work on every day.
50+ entity types plus custom ones, tested in seven languages including Arabic and Japanese.
The same entity gets the same token across prompts and documents, so references stay coherent.
Controlled unmasking by role and Context-Based Access Control (CBAC) decide who sees the original.
Prompts, retrieved context, tool outputs, APIs, MCP calls, and agent-to-agent traffic.
The code you ship here protects data for banks, health companies, and enterprise software platforms.
