Six-Layer Detection Pipeline
Multi-stage analysis combines Unicode normalization, threat signatures, hierarchy inversion checking, cipher decoding, behavioral intent, and semantic clustering.
Adaptive Risk Scoring
Ten-factor weighted heuristics generate a unified risk index strictly clamped between 0 and 100, mapping directly to automated policy enforcement actions.
Pre-Execution Protection
Zero-trust execution guarantee: input payloads are thoroughly evaluated before model dispatch. Blocked prompts never consume downstream LLM tokens.
What is PromptGuard?
PromptGuard is an adaptive security platform designed to identify and prevent prompt injection attacks targeting Large Language Model applications.
A Pre-Execution Firewall for Downstream LLMs
It works as a security boundary between incoming user prompts and downstream LLM providers. Each prompt is inspected before it is forwarded to an AI model.
The platform analyses instruction manipulation, suspicious behaviour, encoded payloads, role manipulation and attempts to access sensitive information.
Why Modern AI Applications Are Vulnerable
Modern AI applications concatenate untrusted user input directly with system prompts and retrieved context, exposing models to adversarial manipulation:
- •Override system instructions: Attackers subvert safety instructions through direct priority overrides.
- •Extract confidential system prompts: Leaking proprietary business logic, few-shot prompts, and internal operational rules.
- •Manipulate AI roles & personas: DAN modes, evil confidant personas, and hypothetical scenario bypasses.
- •Trigger unauthorized tool execution: Tricking autonomous agents into calling shell commands or database mutations.
- •Data exfiltration & indirect injection: Out-of-band Markdown trackers and injection inside retrieved RAG documents.
Core Platform Features
Engineered with clean architectural separation, multi-stage heuristics, and strict security guarantees.
1. Adaptive Risk Scoring
Ten-factor weighted risk engine assigns a score bounded between 0 and 100, mapping directly to configured policy thresholds:
2. Prompt Injection Detection
Comprehensive 6-layer evaluation pipeline inspecting prompts across structural, linguistic, cryptographic, and behavioral dimensions:
- Unicode preprocessing & NFKC normalisation
- Rule-based threat signatures (9 categories)
- Instruction hierarchy & boundary analysis
- Obfuscation & Base64/Hex cipher detection
- Behavioral intent classification (5 axes)
- Semantic similarity clustering
3. Pre-Execution Protection
Prompts are strictly evaluated before downstream LLM execution. Blocked prompts are never forwarded to the downstream language model.
if risk_score >= 80:
return HTTP 200 (Action: BLOCK)
# 0 tokens dispatched to LLM4. Zero-Trust Security Boundary
Maintains absolute isolation between client input, developer instructions, and provider APIs:
- Safe metadata reflection (no API key leakage)
- Input buffer bounds (50,000 max character cap)
- Delimiter protection against ChatML forgery
5. Local Processing
Test and develop complete workflows locally without requiring paid provider API subscriptions:
- Local SimulatorZero Key Req.
- OpenAI / Claude / GeminiOptional Gateways
6. Security Analytics
Structured SQLite relational database stores historical scans, forensic signals, and exportable reports:
- Prompt analysis records & forensic logs
- Compliance audit reports (PDF/JSON/CSV)
- Security incident alerting & SIEM webhook feeds
How It Works
Every request passes through an automated evaluation sequence before downstream models are invoked.
User Prompt
User submits prompt via web UI, API, or agent connector.
Prompt Analysis
FastAPI gateway intercepts request and applies size & rate limits.
Threat Detection
6-layer engine tests Unicode, signatures, hierarchy, and ciphers.
Risk Scoring
10-factor weighted heuristics compute clamped score (0–100).
Security Decision
Policy engine selects Allow, Flag, Isolate, or Block tier.
Allow / Warn / Block
Clean prompts reach LLM; threats terminated with 0 token leak.
Enforcement Actions & Downstream Routing Matrix
Payload verified clean. Request forwarded directly to configured LLM (OpenAI, Gemini, Claude, or Simulator).
Quarantined and wrapped in defensive system delimiters to prevent instruction escape before processing.
Severe injection risk detected. Kept away from production models; routed to isolated review queue.
Execution stopped immediately at edge. Zero tokens dispatched to model. Threat incident recorded to audit database.
