Comparison
Presidio vs NoeticGuard
Presidio is a strong open-source PII toolkit. NoeticGuard is built for LLM egress: deterministic vault tokens, Browser Shield, and a control plane that never receives raw prompts to mask.

Feature comparison
Side-by-side for teams evaluating LLM egress controls — not a full enterprise DLP bake-off.
| Capability | NoeticGuard | Presidio |
|---|---|---|
| Primary use case | LLM egress (API + browser chats) | General PII detection / anonymization |
| Deterministic [EMAIL_n] tokens | Yes — vault-stable within session | Configurable; not LLM-egress opinionated |
| Browser ChatGPT / Claude Shield | Yes — on-device Chrome extension | No first-party browser LLM product |
| Cloud mask endpoint | None — masking stays local | Self-hosted / your infra |
| Policy + quota control plane | API keys, telemetry, add-ons | Bring your own ops stack |
Why client-side beats cloud DLP for LLM prompts
NoeticGuard is a local-first DevSecOps toolkit: @noeticguard/core masks PII with deterministic tokens in your app, backend, CLI, or Chrome extension before text reaches LLM APIs. The NoeticGuard API syncs policy and quota — it does not receive raw prompts to mask.
- LLM prompts are HTTPS to third parties — classical network DLP often never sees the cleartext ChatGPT/Claude body.
- A cloud “scrub this prompt” API creates a new PII processor; NoeticGuard keeps masking in your process.
- Deterministic tokens keep support traces usable without replaying raw emails to the model vendor.
