Veil Guard scores every prompt — user input, RAG documents, tool outputs, scraped web — for injection, jailbreak, and exfiltration attempts across 10 attack types. Drop-in. $49/mo to start. No enterprise sales call.
Lakera is built for F500. Guardrails is a library you wire up yourself. Promptfoo runs at CI time. Guard is the drop-in runtime API, priced for the developer building the AI product.
Regex patterns, Unicode evasion normalizer, a DeBERTa-v3 classifier, semantic match against a known-attack corpus, and an optional LLM judge on the Enterprise tier.
User input is noisy; RAG shouldn't speak in imperatives; tool output shouldn't prefix with "You are…". Guard tunes thresholds per source so you get fewer false positives without losing signal on the hardest vector — indirect injection.
Free tier covers 1,000 scans/month. $49/mo gets you 10,000. Same Stripe bundle as Veil if you also redact PII — 20% off both.
Every scan returns a risk score plus a list of matched attack types. This is what Guard detects today.
