Prompt DLP evaluates the text itself — 40+ built-in classifiers for PII, PHI, payment data, credentials, and source code — inline at sub-38ms, before transmission. It reads fragments the way people actually leak data: a name, an SSN, six rows of a table inside a paragraph of context.
The default action is surgical: strip the sensitive field, let the task proceed. The employee gets their summary, the model never sees the raw value, and adoption survives because the tool keeps working. Hard blocks are reserved for the cases that deserve them.
Custom classifiers — regex, keyword, and ML — cover what generic packs can't: internal project codenames, proprietary schemas, customer-ID formats. They deploy through the same policy pipeline, versioned and staged like everything else.
Network DLP inspects files and traffic patterns; Prompt DLP reads the prompt text at the application boundary, where fragments leak. They complement — this covers the layer yours structurally can't.
Yes — custom classifiers for project names, ID schemas, and proprietary patterns deploy alongside the built-ins.
No — that's the point. The model receives masked values and completes the task; the employee usually can't tell anything was redacted.
Every redaction logs the classifier fired, the field type, the policy applied, and the timestamp — exportable for SOC 2 or GDPR review.
