Learn how to build robust content moderation systems using PromptGuard’s advanced filtering capabilities for both input prompts and AI-generated responses.

Content Moderation Overview

Content moderation is essential for maintaining safe, appropriate AI applications. PromptGuard provides multi-layered content filtering for:

Input Moderation

  • Inappropriate Content: Hate speech, harassment, explicit content
  • Harmful Requests: Violence, self-harm, illegal activities
  • Spam and Abuse: Repetitive content, promotional spam
  • PII Protection: Personal information detection and redaction

Output Moderation

  • Response Safety: Ensuring AI responses are appropriate
  • Content Quality: Filtering low-quality or nonsensical outputs
  • Bias Detection: Identifying potentially biased content
  • Compliance: Meeting regulatory and platform requirements

Content Categories and Policies

Standard Content Categories

Configuring Content Policies

Content policies are configured in the dashboard: log in to app.promptguard.co, open your project, and go to Security Rules. Choose a policy preset (use case + strictness) to set toxicity thresholds and per-category actions, or create a custom policy for finer control. See Policy Presets and Custom Security Rules. Once configured, moderation is enforced automatically on every guard and proxy call. To verify your policy, send a test prompt through the guard endpoint:
A policy with toxicity filtering enabled blocks the request:
