ShieldCore intercepts every request your team and your users send to AI models.
Real-time DLP, injection detection, and immutable audit trails — in under
2ms.
Every prompt passes through 9 hardened stages. Optimized for maximum performance with minimal latency.
Note: These functions represent our current MVP core. We are scaling our features rapidly based on enterprise demand, implementing even more scanners and integrations every week.
01
Verified
Tenant Resolution
Identifies the company, employee, or application from their personal proxy key. Zero-trust from the first byte.
02
Real-time
Rate Limiting
Sliding window rate limiter enforces per-user, per-app, and per-organization quotas.
03
Universal
Request Parsing
Extracts prompt text from OpenAI, Anthropic, and Gemini formats — automatically, with no config needed.
04
Concurrent
Parallel Scanners
PII detection, secrets scanning, prompt injection (regex + ML), and indirect injection — all concurrent.
05
Instant
Policy Evaluation
Loads company-specific rules from cache. Decides: Allow, Block, Mask, or Warn. Hot-reloadable YAML.
06
Secure
Request Transformation
Replaces sensitive values with typed placeholders. JSON structure preserved. The LLM never sees raw PII.
07
Upstream
Upstream Forwarding
Forwards the sanitized request to the real LLM using the company key — developers/users never see the real key.
08
Hardened
Response Processing
Scans the AI response for jailbreak completions, harmful content, and data exfiltration attempts.
09
Async
Audit Event Emission
Asynchronously logs every event with SHA-256 hash chaining. Immutable, compliant, always-on.
Minimal
Pipeline Latency
Stages 1–6 and 8–9 run in your infrastructure. Stage 7 hits the LLM.
Your users notice nothing. Your security team sees everything.
Capabilities
The AI Security Stack. Modular. High-performance.
Nine specialized modules — deploy all or pick the ones your threat model
demands.
Built for companies that use AI and have something to protect. Real-time

Y Combinator Summer 2026
The AI security standard every company needs. Built independent.
The problem is real. The regulation is incoming. The leading competitors were absorbed into $50B+ platforms
— leaving the mid-market without a complete, independent solution. ShieldCore fills that gap.
