CISO AI Security: Authorize Enterprise AI. Eliminate Server Risk.
Blocking AI drives employees to unmanaged personal devices; cloud DLP proxies merely route your cleartext secrets through another third-party server. This 2026 CISO AI Security Guide (Enterprise CISO AI Guide) blueprints how to tokenize sensitive corporate PII in local browser RAM in under 1.8ms — establishing verifiable Technical Safe Harbor with zero vendor DPAs.
Executive Video Brief: CISO AI Security
Client-Side ZTDS™ vs Cloud DLP Proxies Explained
The CISO Dilemma: Why Blocking AI Fails — and How "Yes-to-AI" Wins
The Prohibition Trap: Blind Shadow AI
Blocking ChatGPT or Claude at the corporate firewall does not stop AI usage — it pushes employees onto personal phones, home networks, and unmanaged accounts where SecOps has zero visibility and zero audit trail.
The ZTDS™ Resolution: Safe-By-Default AI
Authorize workforce AI while tokenizing direct PII, secrets, and regulated identifiers in local browser RAM before prompts ever touch the network. CISOs establish verifiable Technical Safe Harbor (GDPR Art. 32, HIPAA Safe Harbor, SOC 2 CC6.1) with zero vendor custody.
3-Layer Client RAM Isolation: How Data Stays Inside Your Perimeter
Endpoint Ingestion & Sandboxing
0ms Network LatencyPrompts and documents are intercepted strictly inside local workstation memory via the deterministic ZTDS™ client-side appliance. Zero bytes are transmitted to PrivacyScrubber or third-party DLP clouds.
Deterministic Pseudonymization (ZTDS)
Volatile RAM SeedDirect identifiers and regulated entities (names, SSNs, MRNs, API keys) are replaced with role-preserving surrogate tokens ([NAME_1], [SECRET_1]). The token map resides in tab-isolated volatile memory and is wiped on tab close.
De-Identified Cloud Model Ingestion
Direct PII Stripped Pre-EgressExternal LLMs (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini) receive only tokenized payloads with preserved syntax, while 30 vertical profiles reduce contextual entropy — preventing direct PII and credentials from entering external model weights or logs.
From Shadow AI to Audited Safe Harbor in 24 Hours
Select Industry Profiles
Map departmental workflows (Legal contracts, HR payroll, Clinical PHI, DevOps logs) to 30 built-in vertical detection profiles.
Declare Shadow AI Amnesty
Replace unenforceable AI bans with an approved client-side sanitization utility so staff stop using personal devices.
Push via MDM / GPO
Force-install the Manifest V3 extension via Google Workspace or Intune with CISO Policy Lock across 10 LLM platforms.
Archive Audit Receipts
Generate cryptographic SHA-256 compliance receipts locally or stream opt-in zero-PII heartbeats to internal SIEM collectors.
Statutory Safe Harbor: OWASP LLM, NIST AI RMF & Global Privacy Controls
OWASP Top 10 for LLMs
Client-side ZTDS™ neutralizes data exposure vectors at the prompt and RAG ingestion boundary:
- LLM02 / LLM06: Sensitive Info Disclosure
Tokenizes PII, PHI, financial identifiers, and secrets in local RAM before network transmission. - LLM08: Vector & Embedding Weaknesses
Sanitizes RAG documents pre-embedding via SDK so raw PII never enters vector stores. - LLM03: Supply Chain & Proxy Elimination
Executes 100% locally with zero third-party cloud DLP proxies or subprocessors in the prompt path.
NIST AI Risk Management
Direct alignment with NIST AI RMF 1.0 core sub-functions:
- GOVERN-1.2
Enforces technical boundaries for acceptable enterprise generative AI use. - MAP-1.5
Identifies and neutralizes corporate data leakage vectors prior to network egress. - MEASURE-2.6
Quantifies masked entity volumes via client-side telemetry with zero PII retention. - MANAGE-1.5
Actively mitigates exfiltration risks directly at the prompt perimeter.
Statutory Safe Harbor Shield
Proves proactive technical due diligence to minimize statutory fines and officer liability:
- GDPR Art. 25/32 & CCPA: State-of-the-art pseudonymization & statutory risk minimization.
- HIPAA Safe Harbor (§ 164.514): Strips all 18 PHI identifiers in local memory pre-transit.
- EU AI Act & ISO 27001 A.8.11: Automated endpoint data masking & governance logs.
- SOC 2 (CC6.1 / CC6.6): Verifiable boundary protection with SHA-256 audit receipts.
- DPO & Director Defense: Demonstrates affirmative technical controls under Amendment 13 Sec. 17 & GDPR Art. 83(2).
- Patent Pending Architecture: U.S. & Int'l Patents Pending (Client-Side ZTDS™ & Cryptographic Handoff).
AI Governance Board Charter
Blanket AI domain bans fail because employees bypass them on personal devices. Present these three enforceable controls to your Generative AI Committee:
- Authorize with Guardrails: Replace shadow usage with MDM-enforced client-side tokenization.
- Enforce Pre-Egress Sanitization: Strip direct PII and secrets in local RAM before any prompt leaves the browser.
- Lock Fleet Rules Centrally: Distribute immutable custom patterns for internal codenames, client IDs, and API keys.
TPRM & Procurement Fast-Track
Cloud DLP procurements stall for 3–6 months because the vendor acts as a third-party Data Processor. ZTDS™ removes that bottleneck by design:
- Not a Data Processor: Zero prompt bytes ever reach PrivacyScrubber servers; GDPR Art. 28 vendor processor status does not arise.
- CAIQ Pre-Cleared: Over 85% of standard Cloud Security Alliance CAIQ controls resolve to "N/A — Local RAM Execution".
- Same-Day Onboarding: General Counsel and InfoSec clear PrivacyScrubber as a local client utility without multi-month DPA negotiations.
Deployment Economics: Cloud DLP Proxy vs. Local ZTDS™
Legacy Cloud DLP Gateway
Routes cleartext employee prompts through an external vendor cloud — triggering full Vendor Risk Assessment (VRA), custom DPA/BAA redlines, root CA TLS decryption certificates, and per-seat price inflation.
ZTDS™ Client-Side Appliance
Zero vendor data custody eliminates GDPR Art. 28 processor exposure and establishes a GDPR Art. 32 / HIPAA / SOC 2 Technical Safe Harbor — deploying across your entire workforce in minutes without proxy re-routing.
Boardroom & General Counsel Objection Matrix
"Won't masking sensitive data break the AI model's reasoning quality?"
ZTDS™ uses deterministic, role-preserving tokens ([NAME_1], [ORG_1], [ID_1]). The LLM preserves 100% of relational logic across multi-turn prompts, and responses are rehydrated locally in RAM with 1 click.
"How do we verify the sanitizer itself isn't an exfiltration vector?"
Any security engineer can verify zero egress in 60 seconds using browser DevTools (F12 → Network) or Airplane Mode. The engine runs under strict CSP (connect-src 'self') and closed Shadow DOM isolation with zero backend payload routes.
"If an employee leaks PII into an LLM, can't we just request vendor deletion?"
No. Once cleartext PII crosses the network boundary into an external LLM or cloud log, the unauthorized disclosure has already occurred under GDPR Art. 4(12) and HIPAA. Pre-egress tokenization in local RAM is the only preventive Safe Harbor control.
The 5-Step Audit Procedure for Zero-Trust AI Tools
Never take any vendor's privacy claims on faith. Security architects and compliance auditors can verify PrivacyScrubber's zero-exfiltration architecture in under 60 seconds with standard browser developer tools:
Open DevTools
Right-click anywhere on the PrivacyScrubber interface and choose Inspect.
Monitor Network
Navigate to the Network tab and clear existing entries to start with a blank stream.
Simulate Air-Gap
Enable physical Airplane Mode or select Offline from the DevTools throttling dropdown.
Execute Redaction
Paste sample corporate text containing names, emails, and financial data, then click Scrub PII.
Verify 0 Requests
Examine the Network panel. Confirm exactly 0 outbound requests were generated during scrubbing.
SIEM & Webhook Telemetry: Stream Zero-PII Audit Heartbeats
Standard Web Workspace and Chrome Extension deployments emit 0 outbound network requests during scrubbing. For regulated Enterprise enclaves and @privacyscrubber/sdk deployments that require centralized SOC visibility, IT administrators can optionally configure an internal collector webhook (siem.corp.internal) to stream cryptographically verified Zero-PII heartbeats directly into customer-owned Splunk, Datadog, Microsoft Sentinel, or Elastic instances.
1. Shadow AI Fleet Visibility
Gain real-time telemetry across thousands of employee browser endpoints without installing intrusive kernel agents or slowing down LLM workflows.
2. Zero-PII Heartbeat Guarantee
The SIEM receives timestamped audit events, node status, and masked entity categories — with 0 bytes of employee prompt text or sensitive PII ever transmitted.
3. Customer-Owned Collector Hooks
Route opt-in telemetry exclusively to your internal VPC endpoints using Splunk HTTP Event Collector (HEC), Datadog Logs, Sentinel Data Connector, or internal SecOps channels.
Standardized ZTDS Audit Payload
When opt-in enterprise telemetry is enabled, each sanitization event emits a zero-PII JSON receipt to your internal collector endpoint:
{
"event": "ZTDS_AUDIT_HEARTBEAT",
"timestamp": "2026-08-20T02:08:44.000Z",
"node": "Acme Corp - SecOps Fleet #4",
"status": "VERIFIED_ACTIVE",
"zero_server_guarantee": true,
"telemetry": {
"sanitization_engine": "ZTDS-Client-RAM-Appliance",
"entity_categories_neutralized": [
"NAME", "EMAIL", "SECRET", "ID"
],
"framework_controls_triggered": [
"EU_AI_ACT_ART50", "SOC2_CC6_1", "ISO27001_A8_11"
],
"raw_pii_exfiltrated_bytes": 0
}
}Provision Internal Collector
Create an internal HTTPS ingest endpoint in Splunk (HEC), Datadog Logs, Microsoft Sentinel HTTP Data Collector, or your private SecOps webhook collector.
Configure Enterprise / SDK Policy
Bind your internal collector URL in the Enterprise build policy (ps_siem_webhook_url) or @privacyscrubber/sdk callback hook. Standard public extensions remain 100% network-silent.
Automate Continuous Auditing
SOC analysts receive instant proof that all employee generative AI prompts are sanitized before cloud egress, satisfying continuous SOC 2 & ISO 27001 audit requirements.
Pre-Filled Vendor Security Assessment (VSA / SIG Lite)
Skip the 6-week security questionnaire backlog. Over 85% of standard cloud risk questions resolve to "N/A — 100% Client-Side Local RAM Execution". Filter by domain, search by keyword, or export all 40 verified responses directly into OneTrust, ServiceNow, Archer, or Whistic.
Does PrivacyScrubber store, log, or persist customer prompt data or uploaded files on vendor servers?
NO. 100% of data tokenization, entity detection, and de-identification executes inside the client workstation volatile runtime (V8 heap memory or local stdio process). Zero bytes of customer text or files are ever stored, logged, or cached on any remote vendor server.
What is the data retention period for customer prompts and sensitive identifiers?
0 seconds. Data is strictly ephemeral. Session token maps exist in volatile RAM per browser tab or application process and are wiped instantly upon tab closure, window reload, or session termination.
Does PrivacyScrubber maintain backend databases or cloud object stores containing customer records?
NO. The application architecture is 100% serverless and databaseless for operational customer workloads. Static client bundles are distributed via CDN, and all computing operations occur strictly on the user machine.
Can PrivacyScrubber staff, support personnel, or engineers access customer prompts or PII?
NO. Zero vendor access. Because data never transits our infrastructure or reaches any vendor proxy, unauthorized personnel access is physically and mathematically impossible.
Does PrivacyScrubber train AI or machine learning models on customer prompts or sanitized inputs?
NO. PrivacyScrubber does not operate machine learning training pipelines and never ingests customer data for model training, reinforcement learning, or commercial benchmarking.
Are customer prompts or files transmitted over the internet to PrivacyScrubber servers during processing?
NO. Automated CI/CD network listeners and socket-level test harnesses confirm that exactly 0 HTTP, HTTPS, or WebSocket packets are emitted during data sanitization.
Does the application function in an air-gapped or offline environment?
YES. Once static client bundles are loaded, all regex tokenization, OCR parsing, and pseudonymization run without an active internet connection, verified in physical Airplane Mode.
What Content Security Policy (CSP) directives are enforced?
Strict CSP headers enforce connect-src 'self' for static assets and billing validation only. Background web workers operate in isolated sandboxes with zero network permissions.
Does the Chrome Extension require elevated permissions to read all external network traffic?
NO. PrivacyScrubber operates under Chrome Manifest V3 with minimal host permissions scoped strictly to supported AI interface DOMs (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini). It does not intercept external network sockets.
How can internal enterprise security teams independently verify zero egress?
Directly via standard browser Developer Tools (F12 -> Network tab). Security engineers can observe zero outbound requests in real time without proprietary auditing software.
How many third-party subprocessors process or touch customer prompts or PII?
Exactly ZERO (0). No third-party APIs, OCR cloud services, or microservices are involved in the prompt sanitization pathway.
What third-party infrastructure is utilized for administrative and billing services?
Vercel (Edge CDN for static, public JavaScript/HTML asset delivery only) and PayPal / Paddle (B2B payment processing and invoice settlement). Neither receives prompt payloads.
Are standard Data Processing Agreements (DPAs) required with subprocessors?
NO. Under GDPR Article 28, subprocessor obligations apply only where customer data is transferred down a processing chain. With 0 subprocessors receiving data, the subprocessor liability chain is eliminated.
Are customer data subjects exposed to cross-border international data transfers (Schrems II)?
NO vendor transfer. Zero bytes of customer data transit PrivacyScrubber servers (requiring no vendor SCCs or TIAs). For downstream non-EU AI model endpoints, local in-RAM pseudonymization acts as an EDPB 01/2020 supplementary technical safeguard prior to cross-border transmission.
Do employees need individual logins or passwords to activate PrivacyScrubber?
NO. For TEAMS and Enterprise, activation is centralized via Master License Key and Chrome Enterprise Managed Policies (MDM / ExtensionInstallForcelist), eliminating employee credential sprawl.
Can employees disable or bypass corporate PII protection policies?
NO. When deployed via MDM, IT administrators can enforce strict policy lock mode and lock configuration menus, preventing users from altering compliance profiles or disabling the shield.
How is role-based access control (RBAC) enforced across enterprise teams?
Two-Tier Fleet Governance: Central CISO hard lock defines immutable compliance baselines across the fleet, while local users can define temporary, local-only deal codenames in isolated tab memory.
What telemetry is transmitted for software license compliance?
Opaque license key validation only (checked every 24h). Zero prompt text, user identity, or sanitized metrics are included in the license validation call.
What encryption algorithms protect session data and peer transfers?
XChaCha20-Poly1305 authenticated symmetric encryption with 256-bit keys via the ZTDS™ WebAssembly cryptographic engine for zero-knowledge session handoff.
How are master keys derived for encrypted session handoff?
Argon2id (password-based key derivation function, resistant to GPU and ASIC brute-force attacks) configured with 64MB memory limit and 3 iterations.
Where are cryptographic encryption keys stored?
Strictly in local client volatile RAM. Keys are never transmitted to PrivacyScrubber or third-party servers.
How does PrivacyScrubber support GDPR Article 17 ('Right to be Forgotten') in RAG vector databases?
O(1) Cryptographic Erasure. By rotating or deleting the ephemeral session key, all vector embeddings derived from that session become irrecoverable noise without expensive index rebuilds.
Does PrivacyScrubber use proprietary, closed-source encryption ciphers?
NO. Only standardized, audited open-source cryptographic primitives from ZTDS™ WebAssembly cryptography and the Web Crypto API are utilized.
Can the client-side code be inspected and audited by customer AppSec teams?
YES. Client-side execution is 100% verifiable via browser DevTools Network inspection (0 outbound sockets), CSP headers, and V8 memory heap lifecycle audits. For Enterprise site licenses, full source code escrow and reproducible build verification are provided under mutual NDA.
Does the application execute dynamic remote code (eval or remote script injection)?
NO. Strictly forbidden by Manifest V3 and CSP. All execution logic is pre-compiled and bundled within the extension package with zero dynamic remote eval.
What is the vulnerability disclosure and patching SLA?
Documented policy at /vulnerability-disclosure/. Critical security patches are deployed within 24 hours to the public registry.
Does PrivacyScrubber perform automated Dependency Scanning and SAST?
YES. Automated CI/CD pipelines run pre-commit dependency audits, IP guards, single-source checks, and socket egress listeners before every release.
Are software dependencies pinned with cryptographic hash integrity?
YES. All npm packages and WASM binaries enforce Subresource Integrity (SRI) hashes and locked package-lock.json version pinning.
What happens to employee AI sanitization if PrivacyScrubber servers experience an outage?
Zero Impact. Because execution is 100% local, the extension and SDK continue sanitizing prompts normally even during a total vendor network outage.
What is the recovery point objective (RPO) and recovery time objective (RTO) for customer data?
RPO = 0s / RTO = 0s. Because customer data is never stored on vendor servers, disaster recovery of vendor servers never impacts customer data integrity.
Can the organization maintain an air-gapped or on-premise source code escrow?
YES. Enterprise licenses include an on-premise source code license and local private build pipeline support.
What uptime SLA is provided for hosted endpoints?
99.9% for static CDN delivery and license validation endpoints. Local runtime uptime is 100% bound to the host workstation.
How does PrivacyScrubber address GDPR Article 25 ('Data Protection by Design and Default')?
By enforcing point-of-prompt de-identification at the client boundary before network transmission, data minimization is automated by default.
How does PrivacyScrubber address HIPAA Safe Harbor (45 CFR § 164.514)?
Built-in HIPAA detection profile strips all 18 PHI identifiers (names, dates, geographic data, MRNs, SSNs, phone numbers) in local memory prior to AI ingestion.
How does PrivacyScrubber support SOC 2 Type II audit controls?
Provides verifiable endpoint boundary controls for CC6.1, CC6.6, and CC6.7 (Logical Access & Transmission Boundary Protection) via SHA-256 audit receipts, while eliminating third-party vendor data-custody scope.
How does PrivacyScrubber support EU AI Act (Article 50) & GDPR Article 32 technical safeguards?
Enforces pre-emptive point-of-prompt data minimization in local memory, preventing unredacted corporate records and personal identifiers from reaching external general-purpose AI models and providing verifiable technical safe-harbor telemetry.
What patent protection governs the Zero-Trust Data Sanitization architecture?
Protected under proprietary international patent-pending disclosures titled 'SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR CLIENT-SIDE ZERO-TRUST DATA SANITIZATION AND CRYPTOGRAPHIC SESSION HANDOFF IN ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE WORKFLOWS'. International priority is secured under the Paris Convention and 35 U.S.C. § 119 across U.S., European, and international jurisdictions.
How is international priority established and verified across patent offices?
Priority is maintained under the Paris Convention and Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT) framework, with electronic priority retrieval coordinated via WIPO DAS. Certified priority documents and filing verification are provided to enterprise counsel under mutual NDA.
Is the trademark ZTDS legally registered?
YES. Protected word mark ZTDS (Zero-Trust Data Sanitization) under Nice Classes 9 & 42 (Paris Convention Priority Framework).
Is the technical architecture published on international standards bodies and peer-reviewed repositories?
YES. Published on the official IETF standards track (draft-sibiryakov-ztds-protocol-01), CERN Zenodo (DOI 10.5281/zenodo.22058770), Center for Open Science OSF (DOI 10.17605/OSF.IO/5BYJF), and SSRN Elsevier (Abstract 7335581).
Zero-Subprocessor Determination (GDPR Art. 28) & Technical Safe Harbor Memo (Art. 32)
Standard legal determination for General Counsel, Data Protection Officers (DPO), and Vendor Procurement Committees.
TO: Office of General Counsel · Data Protection Officer (DPO) · Enterprise Procurement Board
SUBJECT: Determination of Non-Applicability of Third-Party Vendor DPA / BAA & Technical Safe Harbor for PrivacyScrubber (ZTDS Architecture)
1. STATUTORY CONTROLLER-TO-PROCESSOR ANALYSIS (GDPR ART. 28):
Under European Union General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) Article 4(8) and UK GDPR, a "Processor" is defined as a natural or legal person that processes personal data on behalf of the controller. Because PrivacyScrubber operates strictly as an in-memory client-side software utility executing within endpoint host memory (V8 heap / local stdio), PrivacyScrubber never takes custody, possession, transmission, or storage of customer data. Consequently, the statutory vendor relationship of Controller-to-Processor does not arise, rendering standard 30-page vendor Data Processing Agreements legally non-applicable.
2. HIPAA SAFE HARBOR & BUSINESS ASSOCIATE EXEMPTION:
Under 45 CFR § 160.103 and § 164.502(e), a Business Associate Agreement (BAA) is required only when a vendor receives, transmits, or maintains Protected Health Information (PHI) on behalf of a covered entity. Because PrivacyScrubber executes 100% in local workstation RAM with 0 bytes of PHI ever transmitted to PrivacyScrubber infrastructure, PrivacyScrubber is statutorily not a Business Associate and requires no vendor BAA. Concurrently, stripping all 18 HIPAA Safe Harbor identifiers (45 CFR § 164.514(b)) locally prior to prompt transmission establishes verifiable de-identification safeguards before prompts reach external AI providers.
3. SUBPROCESSOR CHAIN LIABILITY (GDPR ART. 28):
Exactly ZERO (0) third-party subprocessors participate in the prompt data processing path. Administrative CDNs (Vercel) deliver static public JavaScript code, and payment gateways (PayPal/Paddle) process invoice transactions strictly decoupled from customer prompt payloads.
3A. STATUTORY RISK MINIMIZATION & TECHNICAL SAFE HARBOR (GDPR ART. 32 / CCPA / SOC 2):
With respect to downstream foundation model providers (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google), point-of-prompt ZTDS establishes a verifiable Defense-in-Depth Technical Safe Harbor under GDPR Art. 32 and Israel Protection of Privacy Law Amendment 13 Sec. 17: (i) 100% Direct PII Zero-Egress via local RAM tokenization, (ii) Contextual Entropy Reduction across 30 Specialized Industry Profiles, and (iii) Cryptographic Audit Receipts proving proactive statutory due diligence to shield DPOs, CISOs, and corporate directors from administrative liability.
4. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY & GOVERNMENT PRIORITY VERIFICATION:
The Zero-Trust Data Sanitization (ZTDS) architecture is protected under U.S. & International Patents Pending (priority locked under Paris Convention and 35 U.S.C. § 119). Formal patent verification is provided under mutual NDA. Protected word mark ZTDS™ is registered under Nice Classes 9 & 42 (Conformance Cert ID: ZTDS-CERT-2026-PRIVACYSCRUBBER-WEB-D02DC6).
5. FINAL PROCUREMENT DETERMINATION:
PrivacyScrubber is approved for rapid enterprise onboarding under standard commercial software license terms across TEAMS ($99/mo flat rate) and Developer SDK ($299/mo or $2,990/yr) with zero vendor security review delays.

CISO AI Security & Governance FAQ
What are the core controls in a 2026 CISO AI Security Guide?
An enforceable 2026 CISO AI Security Guide requires three technical controls before authorizing enterprise LLMs: (1) deterministic client-side PII and secret tokenization in local RAM (<1.8ms latency, 0-byte vendor egress) to mitigate OWASP LLM02/LLM06 sensitive information disclosure, (2) cryptographic SHA-256 compliance receipts mapped to NIST AI RMF 1.0, SOC 2 CC6.1, HIPAA Safe Harbor, and GDPR Art. 32 Technical Safe Harbor, and (3) a zero-subprocessor architecture that eliminates third-party cloud DLP proxy liability.
How does PrivacyScrubber prevent "Model Learning" on regulated identifiers?
By tokenizing direct PII, secrets, and 30 vertical entity categories at the prompt input boundary prior to network transmission, external LLMs (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini) receive only surrogate tokens — preventing raw identifiers and credentials from entering model weights or provider logs.
How does ZTDS support SOC 2 Type II boundary audits?
Because sanitization runs 100% locally in browser RAM with zero vendor egress (verifiable in 60 seconds via DevTools Network inspection), CISOs gain cryptographic SHA-256 audit receipts for SOC 2 CC6.1 and CC6.6 boundary controls while eliminating third-party vendor data-custody scope.
How does SIEM & Webhook logging work without collecting sensitive data?
Standard Web Workspace and Chrome Extension deployments are 100% network-silent (0 outbound requests). For Enterprise and SDK deployments that enable opt-in SIEM telemetry, PrivacyScrubber streams structured heartbeats (timestamp, fleet node ID, and anonymized entity category counts) exclusively to your internal collector. Prompt content and raw PII values are mathematically excluded.
Does this work in air-gapped and offline VDI environments?
PrivacyScrubber operates 100% offline once the client bundle is loaded. For secure enterprise enclaves and SCIF/VDI environments, we provide pre-packaged self-contained deployments with zero remote dependencies.
