Introduction
Importance of PII Protection
Personally Identifiable Information (PII) protection is critical for OctoLLM as it operates in security-sensitive domains handling potentially sensitive data. Inadequate PII protection can lead to:
Legal Consequences:
- GDPR fines up to €20M or 4% of global revenue
- CCPA penalties up to $7,500 per intentional violation
- HIPAA fines from $100 to $50,000 per violation
- Class action lawsuits from affected individuals
Reputational Damage:
- Loss of customer trust
- Negative media coverage
- Competitive disadvantage
- Difficulty attracting new customers
Operational Impact:
- Mandatory data breach notifications
- Regulatory investigations
- Service disruptions
- Increased insurance premiums
Security Risks:
- Identity theft
- Social engineering attacks
- Credential stuffing
- Targeted phishing campaigns
Regulatory Landscape
OctoLLM operates in a complex regulatory environment with overlapping requirements:
GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation)
Scope: EU/EEA residents, regardless of where processing occurs
Key Requirements:
- Lawful basis for processing (consent, contract, legitimate interest)
- Data minimization and purpose limitation
- Right to access, rectification, erasure, portability
- Data protection by design and default
- Data Protection Impact Assessments (DPIAs) for high-risk processing
- Mandatory breach notification within 72 hours
PII Categories:
- Personal Data: Name, email, IP address, location data
- Special Categories: Health data, biometric data, genetic data, racial/ethnic origin
- Pseudonymized Data: Still considered personal if re-identifiable
CCPA (California Consumer Privacy Act)
Scope: California residents' data collected by businesses meeting thresholds
Key Requirements:
- Right to know what data is collected
- Right to delete personal information
- Right to opt-out of sale of personal information
- Right to non-discrimination for exercising rights
- Privacy policy and notice at collection
PII Categories:
- Personal Information: Identifiers, commercial information, biometric data, internet activity
- Sensitive Personal Information: SSN, driver's license, precise geolocation, account credentials
HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act)
Scope: Protected Health Information (PHI) in healthcare context
Key Requirements:
- Administrative, physical, and technical safeguards
- Minimum necessary standard
- Encryption of ePHI in transit and at rest
- Business Associate Agreements (BAAs)
- Breach notification requirements
PHI Identifiers (18 types):
- Names, addresses, dates (except year), phone/fax numbers
- Email addresses, SSNs, medical record numbers
- Account numbers, certificate/license numbers
- URLs, IP addresses, biometric identifiers
- Full-face photos, unique identifying characteristics
OctoLLM PII Strategy
OctoLLM implements a comprehensive PII protection strategy across six dimensions:
1. Detection at All Boundaries
graph LR
subgraph "Input Boundaries"
API[API Gateway]
REFLEX[Reflex Layer]
ORCH[Orchestrator]
end
subgraph "Processing"
ARM[Arms]
MEM[Memory Stores]
end
subgraph "Output Boundaries"
GUARD[Guardian Arm]
LOG[Logging]
DB[Database]
end
API --> REFLEX
REFLEX --> ORCH
ORCH --> ARM

ARM --> GUARD
GUARD --> LOG
GUARD --> DB
style REFLEX fill:#f99,stroke:#333
style GUARD fill:#f99,stroke:#333
style LOG fill:#f99,stroke:#333
Detection Points:
- API Gateway: Initial PII screening before processing
- Reflex Layer: Fast regex-based PII detection (<10ms)
- Guardian Arm: Comprehensive multi-method detection
- Logging System: Pre-log sanitization
- Database Layer: Pre-write validation
- Memory Stores: Collection-level encryption
2. Automatic Redaction
All detected PII is automatically redacted using configurable strategies:
Redaction Modes:
- Type-based: Replace with
[EMAIL-REDACTED],[SSN-REDACTED] - Hash-based: Replace with deterministic hash for correlation
- Structure-preserving: Maintain format (e.g.,
XXX-XX-1234for SSN) - Tokenization: Replace with reversible token for authorized access
3. Layered Security
# Layer 1: Reflex preprocessing (fast)
if has_obvious_pii(text):
text = quick_redact(text)
# Layer 2: Guardian arm (comprehensive)
safety_result = guardian.check(text, check_types=["pii", "secrets"])
if safety_result.risk_level in [RiskLevel.HIGH, RiskLevel.CRITICAL]:
return BlockedResponse(reason="PII detected")
# Layer 3: Pre-storage validation
if writing_to_database:
validate_no_pii(data)
encrypt_sensitive_fields(data)
# Layer 4: Audit logging (obfuscated)
log_event(sanitize_for_logging(event_data))
4. Data Minimization
OctoLLM follows the principle of collecting only necessary data:
Collection Policies:
- No collection of PII unless operationally necessary
- Immediate redaction of incidental PII in user inputs
- TTL-based expiration for all collected data
- Aggregation over raw data when possible
Retention Policies:
- Task history: 90 days (anonymized after 30 days)
- Audit logs: 1 year (PII-sanitized)
- Vector embeddings: 180 days (no raw PII)
- Cache data: 24 hours maximum
5. Encryption Everywhere
Data at Rest:
- PostgreSQL: Transparent Data Encryption (TDE) + field-level encryption
- Qdrant: Collection-level encryption
- Redis: Encrypted volumes
- Backups: AES-256 encryption
Data in Transit:
- TLS 1.3 for all inter-component communication
- Certificate pinning for external APIs
- Mutual TLS (mTLS) within Kubernetes cluster
Key Management:
- AWS KMS / HashiCorp Vault for key storage
- Automatic key rotation (90 days)
- Separate keys per environment
- Key access audit logging
6. Privacy by Design

Defense-in-Depth Approach
OctoLLM implements multiple overlapping layers of PII protection:
| Layer | Technology | Latency | Coverage | False Positive Rate |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1. API Gateway | Rate limiting, input validation | <1ms | Basic | <1% |
| 2. Reflex Layer | Regex patterns | <10ms | 80% | 2-3% |
| 3. Guardian Arm | Regex + ML/NER | <100ms | 95% | <5% |
| 4. Database | Schema validation, encryption | <50ms | 100% | 0% |
| 5. Logging | Pre-log sanitization | <5ms | 100% | 0% |
| 6. Audit | Post-hoc review, anomaly detection | Async | 100% | N/A |
Effectiveness Metrics:
- Detection Rate: >95% of common PII types
- False Positive Rate: <5% overall
- Latency Impact: <150ms end-to-end
- Coverage: All input/output boundaries
Example Multi-Layer Detection:
# Input: "Contact john.doe@example.com (SSN: 123-45-6789)"
# Layer 1: API Gateway
# - No detection (basic validation only)
# Layer 2: Reflex Layer
# - Detects email pattern
# - Detects SSN pattern
# - Returns: "Contact [EMAIL-REDACTED] (SSN: [SSN-REDACTED])"
# Layer 3: Guardian Arm
# - Confirms email detection (high confidence)
# - Confirms SSN detection (high confidence)
# - Risk level: HIGH
# - Action: Block or redact
# Layer 4: Database
# - Schema validation ensures no raw PII in writes
# - Field-level encryption for sensitive columns
# Layer 5: Logging
# - Sanitizes all log messages before writing
# - Replaces any remaining PII with placeholders
# Result: Multiple redundant protections ensure no PII leakage
PII Detection
Regex-Based Detection
Regex-based detection provides fast, reliable identification of structured PII types with predictable formats.

Automatic Redaction
Redaction Strategies
OctoLLM supports multiple redaction strategies for different use cases:
Strategy 1: Type-Based Redaction
Replace PII with type indicator:
class TypeBasedRedactor:
"""Redact PII by replacing with type labels."""
def redact(self, text: str, findings: List[PIIFinding]) -> str:
"""Redact PII with type labels."""
# Sort findings in reverse order to maintain positions
sorted_findings = sorted(findings, key=lambda f: f.start, reverse=True)
result = text
for finding in sorted_findings:
redaction = f"[{finding.pii_type.value.upper()}-REDACTED]"
result = result[:finding.start] + redaction + result[finding.end:]
return result
# Example
# Input: "Contact john.doe@example.com or call 555-123-4567"
# Output: "Contact [EMAIL-REDACTED] or call [PHONE-REDACTED]"
Strategy 2: Hash-Based Redaction
Replace with deterministic hash for correlation:
import hashlib
class HashBasedRedactor:
"""Redact PII with deterministic hashes for correlation."""
def __init__(self, salt: str = ""):
self.salt = salt
def redact(self, text: str, findings: List[PIIFinding]) -> str:

redaction = f"[{finding.pii_type.value.upper()}:{hash_val}]"
result = result[:finding.start] + redaction + result[finding.end:]
return result
# Example
# Input: "User john.doe@example.com made a purchase"
# Output: "User [EMAIL:a3f2b5c8d1e9] made a purchase"
# Same email always hashes to same value (enables correlation)
Strategy 3: Mask-Based Redaction
Replace with asterisks while preserving length:
class MaskBasedRedactor:
"""Redact PII with asterisks, preserving length."""
def redact(self, text: str, findings: List[PIIFinding]) -> str:
"""Redact PII with asterisks."""
sorted_findings = sorted(findings, key=lambda f: f.start, reverse=True)

for finding in sorted_findings:
# Replace with asterisks

result = result[:finding.start] + redaction + result[finding.end:]
return result
# Example
# Input: "SSN: 123-45-6789"
# Output: "SSN: ***********"

return result
def detokenize(self, redacted_text: str, token: str) -> str:
"""Restore original value from token (requires authorization)."""
if token not in self.token_map:
raise ValueError(f"Invalid token: {token}")
return redacted_text.replace(f"[TOKEN:{token}]", self.token_map[token])
