About
IRI DarkShield is a powerful data masking tool that can (simultaneously) find and anonymize Personally Identifiable Information (PII) "hidden" in semi-structured and unstructured files and database columns / collections.
DarkShield jobs are configured, logged, and run from IRI Workbench or a restful RPC (web services) API to encrypt, redact, blur, etc., the PII it finds in:
* NoSQL & RDBs
* PDFs
* Parquet
* JSON, XML & CSV
* Excel & Word
* BMP, DICOM, GIF, JPG & TIFF
DarkShield is one of 3 data masking products in the IRI Data Protector Suite, and comes with IRI Voracity data management platform subscriptions. DarkShield bridges the gap between structured and unstructured data masking, allowing users to secure data in a consistent manner across disparate silos and formats by using the same masking functions as FieldShield and CellShield EE. DarkShield also handles data in RDBs and flat-files, too, but there are more capabilities that FieldShield offers for those sources.

About
Velum Privacy masks personal data before it reaches an AI assistant, then restores the real values in the reply. Everything runs on your own machine. No servers, no accounts, no telemetry.
Reversible by design: one-way redaction protects the data but breaks the answer. A local mapping means the reply comes back readable.
Three surfaces, one engine. A browser extension for Chrome, Brave, Edge and Vivaldi, text masking free, no account. A macOS desktop app for documents, folders and coding agents over MCP, Windows in progress. A Jira and Confluence Cloud app that runs inside your own Atlassian instance.
Detection combines pattern matching, checksum validation for IBANs and national IDs, and a local NER model across nine language variants. Accuracy is published, including failure rates: 99.8% must-mask F1 at the top tier.
Verifiable, not asserted: the extension declares zero host permissions, and the desktop app names every outbound call and masks with the network off.
