Deltawall
Interaction-layer AI data protection

Protect your sensitive data from AI.

Deltawall inspects every prompt and file upload inside the browser, at the point of interaction, and redacts or blocks sensitive data before it reaches ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Copilot, Perplexity or DeepSeek. No proxy. No TLS interception. Raw content never leaves the device.

An AI chat in the browser. The message box holds a masked IBAN, and the Deltawall banner reads: Deltawall redacted sensitive data, 1 sensitive item (IBAN) was masked before sending.

The challenge

Generative AI is now a data channel your controls cannot see.

People paste customer records, contracts, source code and credentials into AI assistants to get work done. The exposure happens inside the browser, in a text box or an upload field, before any file, network or endpoint control sees it.

That is last-mile data movement: file-less, encrypted in transit, and sent to sites your organisation has already approved. Blocking AI outright stops the productivity with it. Allowing it blind leaves the data exposure unmanaged and unprovable.

The platform

Enforcement at the point of interaction.

Six capabilities on one engine. The browser extension is both sensor and enforcer; the console receives labels and salted hashes, never content.

01Detect

On-device detection across 25 data classes.

Prompts and files are classified in the browser before they are sent. Checksum, structure and context validators handle identifiers and secrets; an on-device model handles names, addresses and health data.

  • Checksum-verified IBAN, card, BSN and national IDs
  • Secrets and credentials: API, AWS and GCP keys, JWTs, private keys
  • Raw content never leaves the endpoint
Detection engine

02Enforce

Last-mile control at the input box.

Five actions, applied at submit: Allow, Log, Warn, Redact and Block. A Warn can require a written business justification before the user proceeds, so a bypass is managed and recorded, not silent.

  • Sensitive values masked in the message box before send
  • The user sees the reason, never a silent failure
  • Six AI sites covered, named in the contract

03Inspect files

Uploads scanned before they leave the device.

The file picker, drag-and-drop and paste all pass through one on-device scan with the same engine as prompts. A file that needs redaction is stopped, and the banner names the data classes found.

  • PDF, DOCX, XLSX, PPTX, CSV, TXT, MD and JSON
  • Scanned documents flagged as uninspectable, never guessed at
  • Fails open, so a broken scanner cannot break the site
Safe file uploads

04Govern

Policy as readable rules, simulated first.

Rules combine department, data class, destination and channel, and resolve by priority to one of five actions. New rules run in simulation against live traffic before they enforce anything.

  • Four EU templates: GDPR baseline, Financial, Government, Education
  • Version history on every change
  • Policy updates reach every browser without a release

05Prove

A tamper-evident evidence log.

Every decision is hash-chained, sealed in Merkle batches and signed with Ed25519. Export a pack for any period; an auditor verifies it offline with a standalone tool, without Deltawall in the room.

  • Labels, salted hashes and metadata. Never content
  • JSON pack, CSV or PDF
  • Change one record and verification fails
Evidence log
The Deltawall evidence explorer: events carrying metadata and hashes only, with Verify chain and JSON, CSV and PDF export.
06Observe

Posture at department level. Never by person.

The console shows AI interactions, detections, redactions and blocks over time, aggregated to department. No individual leaderboards exist in the product; unmasking a person needs a second approver and is itself logged.

  • Works-council mode removes individual views entirely
  • Four-eyes unmasking: the approver must differ from the requester
  • Roles for security, DPO, audit and administration

Why existing controls miss it

Your stack secures the connection. Deltawall secures the interaction.

The risk is a paste into a text box, inside an encrypted session, on a sanctioned site. Each layer of a modern stack is right about what it sees, and blind to that moment.

ApproachWhat it secures wellWhat it missesHow Deltawall is different
SASE and SSENetwork access, connectivity and application-level policyThe prompt, the paste and the upload inside an encrypted session to a permitted siteInspects the interaction in the page itself, before the request is sent
Proxy and SWG with TLS inspectionRouted web traffic, URL and category filteringRequires a root certificate on every device and decrypts everything; still sees a request, not who typed whatNo root certificate, no decryption, no rerouting. Enforcement runs inside the browser sandbox
CASBSanctioned SaaS through APIs: configuration, sharing and postureReal-time text input into AI tools, and personal accounts that never touch the APIActs on the prompt at submit, whichever account is signed in to the AI site
Endpoint DLP and EDRFiles, processes, devices and removable mediaFile-less actions: typed prompts and text pasted into a web formTreats typed and pasted text as a first-class data flow, and scans files on the device before upload

Deltawall complements these controls; it does not replace your network, identity or endpoint stack.

What it detects

25 data classes. Four ways to be sure.

Twenty-one deterministic detectors, validated by checksum, structure or context, and an on-device model for the four classes no pattern can describe. Where a checksum matches, it overrides the model.

Deployment

No infrastructure change. Four steps to enforcement.

No network rerouting, no certificates, no agents in the kernel. Deltawall installs the way every other managed browser extension does.

Fingers on a laptop keyboard in a bright office.
1

Push the extension

Distribute to Chrome, Edge and Firefox through your MDM or browser enterprise policy.

2

Choose a template

Start from GDPR baseline, Financial, Government or Education, then adjust to your data.

3

Simulate first

Run new rules against live traffic in simulation. Nothing is enforced until you promote them.

4

Enforce and prove

Switch rules to enforce, watch posture by department, and export signed evidence when asked.

Honest limits

What Deltawall does not do. Printed on purpose.

A security product that hides its limits hands them to the attacker. Ours are in the contract.

  • No OCR.Scanned PDFs and images are flagged as uninspectable, not read. Your policy decides what happens to them.
  • Redaction applies to typed prompts.The user presses send again after masking. A file that needs redaction is stopped, not rewritten.
  • Desktop apps are governed, not intercepted.MDM policy bundles block or allow them. A Redact rule on the desktop channel returns an error; it never silently downgrades.
  • The model runs in Chrome and Edge.Firefox enforces with the deterministic detector layer.
  • Coverage is bounded to the listed AI sites.Six today: ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Microsoft Copilot, Perplexity and DeepSeek. The contract names them.
  • It fails open.If the upload guard or the model errors or times out, the AI site keeps working. A broken scanner never breaks the workday.
  • SSO is on the roadmap.Sign-in today is email and magic link. OIDC single sign-on is built but not yet offered.
  • Shadow-AI discovery is on the roadmap.The ingest API exists; it needs a DNS or metadata feed before it can report anything, so we do not sell it yet.
