[CISO_OPS]
Security Lead

"PrivacyScrubber eliminates Shadow AI risk by intercepting PII at the edge. We've mapped this hub to SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001 masking controls."

[DPO_LEGAL]
Legal Counsel

"Under GDPR Article 32 and HIPAA Safe Harbor, local anonymization removes the AI provider from the 'Data Processor' chain, negating complex DPA liabilities."

[BIZ_VAL]
Financial Audit

"A single GLBA or PCI-DSS violation costs 100x more than a site-wide license. We provide verifiable ROI through data loss prevention at the prompt level."

The Comparison AI Privacy Gap

Data Persistence

Raw sensitive inputs are often stored by AI vendors for model training.

Compliance Liability

Uploading unredacted PII violates industry-specific global privacy mandates.

Shadow AI Risk

Employees using unvetted AI tools create invisible data leakage vectors.

Raw Input: Sensitive Information here

Sanitized: Sanitized [PII_1] here

Compliance FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about deploying zero-trust AI for Comparison Teams.

Why is a client-side architecture superior to cloud DLP proxying?
Cloud proxies require you to trust a middle-man. That middle-man can be hacked, breached, or change their terms. Client-side tools require zero trust—the data never leaves your physical machine.
Can you be Airplane Mode verified?
Yes, PrivacyScrubber works completely off the grid once the application loads, proving we don't connect to external analytics or data-hoovering APIs.

Zero-Trust Sanitization Verified

100% GDPR, HIPAA & CCPA compliant. All PII processing occurs locally in browser RAM.
