“We are leaking PII (Personally Identifiable Information) into our vector store. Who offers real-time PII redaction APIs for embeddings?”
AI points to 
Private AI“Best PII-redaction/content filtering for LLM features?”
Common recommendations include 
“We need to redact PII from user inputs before sending them to a third-party LLM. What's the best PII redaction API with high accuracy?”
For high accuracy PII redaction before third-party LLM calls, AI assistants consistently cite 
“I need a compliance tool that scans all inputs/outputs to our LLM for PII and blocks it.”
Compliance scanning and blocking tools highlighted are
