Risks & guardrails
- Over-redaction creating observability blind spots — calibrate rules with the ops team
- RAG retrieval scope too broad — define document boundaries per use case before setup
Problem
Leaks often happen through “normal” engineering: logs, traces, prompts, retrieved documents, and tool outputs. Teams want observability, but accidentally store PII or secrets — creating compliance and security issues.
Solution
We implement practical data-boundary controls:
- Redaction in logs and traces (PII/secrets)
- Prompt and context minimization
- Retrieval boundaries and provenance for RAG
- Access control and retention policies
What we deliver
- Data classification and boundary map
- Redaction pipeline + safe logging defaults
- RAG guardrails: document scope, retrieval validation, provenance
- Secure incident workflow and audit documentation
Measurement (typical)
- Reduced sensitive payloads in telemetry
- Clear retention periods and access controls
- Repeatable audits of “what gets stored where”
CTA
If you need observability without leakage, we’ll set safe defaults and data boundaries end-to-end.
