What is this?

Data leakage is when prompts, logs, or model outputs expose secrets, PII, or one customer's data to another — in prompts, logs, or replies.

Why should you care?

PromptVerse redacts PII pre-prompt, filters secrets in logs, and enforces tenant isolation in retrieval.

See it live — copy this example

Copy the prompt into ChatGPT, Claude, or your LLM API playground and compare outputs.

before_llm:
  text = redact_pii(user_input)
  assert no_secrets(text)  # block if API key pattern
  log_store.write({ hash: prompt_hash, redacted: true })  # never raw secrets
  chunks = retrieve(filter: { tenant_id })

What happened?

  • Redact before model sees text.
  • no_secrets blocks accidental key paste.
  • Logs store hash not full prompt with secrets.

Practice next

  1. Scan sample logs for email/SSN patterns.
  2. Add API key regex block.
  3. Verify tenant filter on retrieve.
  4. Tokenize PII replace with [EMAIL_1].
  5. DLP scan on outbound model text.

Remember

Redact PII pre-LLM. Never log secrets. Tenant isolate retrieval.

Log scrub

Dev pasted prod API key into chat.

Outcome: Block + alert; key rotated; log stores hash only.
