​

OWASP LLM Top 10 Mapping

• Every security event is automatically classified against the OWASP LLM Top 10 framework with owasp_id, cwe_id, and human-readable title
• Dashboard shows OWASP badges on event detail pages and an aggregate OWASP Top 10 Coverage chart on the project overview
• Supports all 10 OWASP categories: LLM01 (Prompt Injection) through LLM09 (Misinformation), mapped from PromptGuard’s native threat types

​

AI-Generated Remediation Suggestions

• Blocked and redacted events automatically receive AI-generated security insights using an open-source HuggingFace model (Qwen/Qwen3-4B)
• Each insight includes a summary, impact assessment, and actionable remediation steps
• Runs asynchronously in a background thread - adds zero latency to the request path
• Displayed in the dashboard event detail as an “AI-Generated Insight” card

​

Dashboard UX Enhancements

• Security Posture Card: Project overview shows a data-driven circular gauge (0–100) reflecting guardrail coverage and event activity, with status labels (Excellent / Good / Needs Attention / Critical)
• Active Guardrails Strip: Horizontal pill badges showing which guardrails are enabled/disabled at a glance, linking to the guardrails configuration page
• Recent Threats Table: Main dashboard overview shows the last 5 blocked/flagged events across all projects with threat type badges, OWASP IDs, and click-through navigation
• Enhanced Global Search (⌘K): Server-side event search with debounced API calls, threat type and OWASP ID search, and result counts per group
• Sidebar Count Badges: Interactions nav item shows a live count of flagged events in the last 24 hours
• StatsGrid Sparklines: Inline SVG sparklines on stat cards showing trends from timeseries data
• Standardized Page Headers: Consistent PageHeader component across Interactions, Analytics, and Security Rules pages with contextual action buttons and keyboard shortcut hints
• Keyboard Navigation: G then I/R/A/O/K/T/P shortcuts for rapid project page navigation

​

Custom Policy Engine

• 7 policy types: input_filter, output_filter, topic_filter, llm_guard, entity_blocklist, rate_limit, and custom - all manageable via API and dashboard
• Topic Filter: Define conversation scope in natural language; an LLM judge blocks off-topic queries
• LLM Guard: Custom natural-language business rules evaluated by an LLM judge for constraints too nuanced for regex
• Entity Blocklist: Protect specific names, terms, or identifiers from appearing in prompts or responses with pipe-delimited matching
• contains_text_any condition: Match any of multiple pipe-separated terms in a single rule (e.g., "Acme|Globex|Initech")
• Full dashboard UI for creating and managing all policy types, including system_prompt_details editor for topic filter and LLM guard

​

Zero-Trust Response Verification

• HMAC-SHA256 response signing (X-PromptGuard-Signature): Cryptographic proof that the response came from PromptGuard and was not tampered with
• Content hashing (X-PromptGuard-Content-Hash): SHA-256 hash of the response body for independent integrity verification
• Zero-retention header (X-PromptGuard-Zero-Retention): Explicit confirmation that prompt content was not stored when zero-retention mode is enabled
• Replay protection: Timestamp-based signature validation with configurable max age (default 5 minutes)

​

Per-Project Token Limits

• Set max_tokens_per_request per project to cap prompt size before it reaches the LLM provider
• Requests exceeding the limit are rejected with HTTP 413, saving LLM costs
• tiktoken integration: Accurate token counting using OpenAI’s tokenizer (falls back to chars/4 heuristic)

​

Hallucination Detection with RAG Context

• RAG context threading: Automatically extracts grounding context from system messages and tool results in conversation history
• Source-grounded verification: Compares LLM responses against retrieved documents for higher-accuracy hallucination scoring
• Configurable enforcement: metadata (default), flag (log for review), or block (reject above threshold)
• Adjustable block_threshold (0.0–1.0) for tuning sensitivity per project

​

Hardened Container Security

• 3-stage Dockerfile: Build → Compile → Hardened production image
• Source code compiled to .pyc bytecode; original .py files stripped from production image
• Shell binaries removed (/bin/sh, /bin/bash, curl, wget, apt-get) - kubectl exec has nothing to invoke
• Docker Compose: read_only: true, cap_drop: ALL, no-new-privileges
• Helm chart: readOnlyRootFilesystem, allowPrivilegeEscalation: false, capabilities.drop: ALL
