[ How it works · on-device ]

One install. Protection everywhere your team reaches AI.

Browser, desktop and developer tools — covered. Tracehold checks every message on the device before it's sent, so sensitive data never reaches a chatbot in the first place. Deployed through the device management you already run — nothing to slow your people down.

What happens between "type" and "send"

Follow any message your team writes into an AI tool. Tracehold sits on the path right inside the browser, sees it as it's typed, decides against your policy on the device, and protects by redacting or blocking the risky part — all before the send button does anything. The prompt itself never leaves; only metadata about a finding does.

What stays: the prompt — it never travels to us or to the AI vendor. What travels (managed deployments only): metadata about the finding — its type, severity and timestamp. On the free plan, nothing leaves the device at all.
[ Why it holds up · coverage · privacy · compliance ]

Three things every buyer wants to be sure of

Coverage, privacy and compliance — the questions a security or legal team asks before anything reaches production.

Covers every place your team reaches AI

The same protection follows your people from the browser to desktop apps to the tools developers live in — including the new AI tool nobody told security about yet.

Detection runs on the device

The decision is made locally, the moment something is about to be shared. By default only the essentials — type, severity, time — reach your console. The prompt never does.

Compliance-first by design

Every block becomes audit-ready evidence. Built and hosted in the EU, with compliance mapping covering GDPR · NIS2 · ISO 27001 · SOC 2 — so the safeguard never becomes a new data-transfer problem.

[ Rollout · no network surgery ]

Deploy it the way you already deploy everything else

Tracehold pushes out through your existing device management — the same tooling you use for every other app. The browser extension needs no proxy and no certificates; where you also deploy the desktop agent, it installs through that same fleet tooling too, so there's no separate rollout project for your IT team to run.

Use your own MDM

Add it to your existing fleet rollout and it lands on managed devices automatically — no per-person setup.

No network changes

No external proxy or gateway to stand up — detection happens locally, on each device. Latency and your network diagram both stay exactly as they are.

Live in weeks, not months

Most teams go from first call to protected in two to four weeks — riding on the fleet tooling you already run, not a standalone project.

[ Smart detection · 1,600+ patterns ]

It recognises the things that actually leak

Across 1,600+ patterns — keys, credentials, personal and financial data, code and confidential files — Tracehold spots what matters inside a message and tells you exactly what it found.

Sensitive data detected

Detection is tuned to flag the real thing and stay quiet on the rest — so people trust the warnings and don't learn to click past them. A verified secret, like a real key or a card number that passes its checksum, is never waved through just because the surrounding text looks harmless.

[ Caught as you type · pre-send ]

The warning arrives before the send button does

There's no "oops, already sent." As soon as something sensitive appears in the box, your employee sees a clear, friendly heads-up — while there's still time to fix it.

[ Files, not just text · redact ]

A dropped file gets the same check as a typed one

Attaching a config file, a spreadsheet of customers or a contract is one of the easiest ways data slips out. Tracehold reads the file locally — extracting text and running OCR on images and scanned documents — and inspects it on the device before the upload even begins.

[ Your rules, your words · block · redact · warn ]

Policies tuned to what's sensitive for you

Beyond the patterns everyone needs, you decide what counts as sensitive in your world — internal codenames, customer identifiers, unreleased product names — and what should happen to each one. Under the hood, this runs on a named-entity list you maintain — added by hand, bulk-imported, or synced automatically from your CRM — so it's always your codenames and your customers, not a generic guess. Rules are tailored per team and per organisation, so the right people get the right guardrails.

Block

Stop the most sensitive things outright — they never reach the AI tool.

Redact

Hide just the risky part and let the rest of the message through, so work doesn't stall.

Warn

Nudge the person with a heads-up and let them decide — every choice is logged.

The findings — never the prompts — roll up into the console. In a managed deployment, the metadata each device produces (finding type, severity, timestamp) becomes a live feed, live compliance mapping, and exportable evidence. See the platform & console →

Start in observe-only mode — nothing gets blocked

Run a 2–4 week pilot that just watches. You'll see exactly what would have been caught across your team, with zero disruption to how people work — then turn on enforcement when you're ready.
