Cycling through all six. Tap any point to stop.

Measured on six things

EU-native AI governance proxy that detects and masks PII in LLM prompts, with full audit trails.

Usability

No pricing, docs, or trial content was retrievable, so onboarding quality is unverified. The 'drop-in proxy, no workflow changes' positioning is a genuine usability advantage if it holds, but nothing in the evidence confirms it.

Privaro

About this app

Privaro is a privacy gateway that sits between your organisation and the LLMs it uses (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google Gemini and others). Every prompt passes through Privaro before leaving your perimeter: personal data is detected in real time and masked or pseudonymised, and the response is re-identified on the way back, so users keep a normal experience while the provider never sees raw data. Key capabilities: real-time PII detection with national ID validation, reversible pseudonymisation per conversation, document support including OCR, and a complete audit trail of LLM traffic ready for DPO and auditor review. Built in Europe for GDPR and EU AI Act compliance, Privaro deploys as a drop-in proxy with no changes to existing workflows.

Key features

1Real-time PII detection with national ID validation, masking or pseudonymising prompts before they reach the LLM provider
2Reversible pseudonymisation per conversation, with responses re-identified on the way back so users keep a normal experience
3Document support including OCR, plus a complete audit trail of LLM traffic for DPO and auditor review

Scout Review

Written by AI from measured evidence, scored out of 100.

Privaro is a privacy gateway that sits between an organisation and its LLM providers, masking or pseudonymising PII on the way out and re-identifying it on the way back, with an audit trail for DPOs. The concept is well-aimed at a real and growing problem, and the EU-native, GDPR and AI Act positioning is a sensible wedge. The measured evidence is mixed: accessibility is genuinely strong at 95/100, desktop speed is good at 90, but mobile performance lags at 64 with a 5.6s LCP, and the security header profile has real gaps for a security product. Most importantly, the site content fetch returned almost nothing, so pricing, documentation and onboarding could not be assessed at all. This review is therefore a partial picture: the idea and the accessibility hold up, the security hardening and the public-facing material do not yet.

Measure by measure

Usability

Design

No homepage render or screenshot was captured, so visual design could not be directly assessed. Scored in the category-typical band for a B2B compliance tool; the real UI is an admin dashboard that was not visible.

Speed

Lighthouse desktop 90/100 is genuinely good, but mobile 64/100 with a 5.6s LCP drags the average down. CLS 0.065 and TBT 182ms are acceptable; the mobile largest-contentful-paint is the weak link.

Security

HTTPS, HSTS, secure cookies and a DMARC record are in place, but no CSP, no frame protection, no Permissions-Policy and no SPF. Header checklist 8/13. No SOC 2, ISO 27001 or pen-test claim was verifiable.

Accessibility

Lighthouse accessibility 95/100 with one failing audit: form elements missing associated labels. Strong automated result, but no WCAG statement or multi-language support was found to confirm the rest of the picture.

Growth

Real, growing problem with a hard regulatory tailwind (GDPR, EU AI Act) and a specific wedge: reversible pseudonymisation plus auditor-ready logs. Early-stage domain (0.5 years) is context, not the score.

Improvement areas

Security hardening: add CSP, frame protection, Permissions-Policy and SPF; publish SOC 2 / ISO 27001 status
Mobile performance: LCP of 5.6s needs work; desktop is fine at 90/100
Public material: no pricing, docs or trial content was retrievable from the live site
Accessibility polish: form elements need associated labels to clear the last failing audit

Design & Usability

Design and usability both suffer from the same problem: we could not see them. The live fetch returned a single word, no screenshots were captured, and no pricing or docs text came through, so the admin dashboard that DPOs would actually live in is invisible to this review. What the positioning does tell us is that Privaro is a backend proxy — the user-facing surface is an admin console, not a consumer app, so design matters less than clarity of policy configuration and audit views. The 'drop-in, no workflow changes' claim is the right usability promise for this buyer, but a promise is not a verified onboarding flow. Scored in the category-typical band because the basics of a B2B tool are implied, not because anything was confirmed.

Speed & Security

Speed is a split verdict: Lighthouse desktop 90/100 is strong, but mobile 64/100 with a 5.6s LCP is a real weakness for anyone checking the site on a phone. CLS 0.065 and TBT 182ms are fine, so the issue is specifically mobile paint time, likely heavy hero assets or blocking scripts. Security is the more interesting story for a product whose entire value proposition is data protection. HTTPS, HSTS, secure cookies and DMARC are present, but the absence of a Content-Security-Policy, frame protection, Permissions-Policy and SPF is a gap a security-conscious buyer will notice. No SOC 2, ISO 27001, pen-test report or bug bounty could be verified, which for an EU banking and healthcare target audience is the single biggest trust gap to close.

Accessibility & Growth

Accessibility is the strongest measured dimension: 95/100 on the Lighthouse audit, with the only failure being unlabeled form elements — a quick, concrete fix. There is no WCAG conformance statement or multi-language support visible, which matters for an EU-wide product serving multiple jurisdictions. Growth is a judgement on the idea, not the traction. The problem is real and getting more urgent: GDPR enforcement plus the EU AI Act create genuine demand for LLM data governance, and Privaro's wedge — reversible pseudonymisation with auditor-ready logs, built in Europe — is specific and defensible. The limit is competition: Protecto.ai is functionally close, Skyflow and Private AI are established, and Nightfall owns the DLP conversation. Privaro's differentiation is the EU-native compliance framing and the reversibility, which is a real but narrow moat.

Conclusion

For a product asking banks, insurers and healthcare providers to route every prompt through it, the bar is high and the evidence here is thin. The accessibility score and desktop performance show the team can build well. What is missing is the public proof: a security page with certifications, a docs site that explains the proxy setup, transparent pricing, and a mobile experience that does not take five and a half seconds to paint. None of these are hard problems, and all of them are table stakes for the buyer Privaro is targeting. Close the header gaps, publish the compliance evidence, and the pitch becomes as strong as the idea behind it.

Suggestions for improvement

Publish a security page with SOC 2 / ISO 27001 status, pen-test summary and a responsible-disclosure contact
Add Content-Security-Policy, frame protection, Permissions-Policy and an SPF record to close the header gaps
Fix mobile LCP (5.6s) by optimising hero assets and deferring non-critical scripts
Ship a real docs site and pricing page — the live fetch returned almost no content to evaluate

Skyflow

Data privacy vault (tokenisation) to isolate sensitive data across apps and AI. Broad data-security platform with heavier integration than a drop-in LLM proxy.

Private AI

PII detection and redaction SDK for text, audio and images, cloud or on-prem. Strong detection engine, while governance, policies and LLM audit trails are left to the customer.

Nightfall

Cloud DLP platform that monitors sensitive data across SaaS apps, endpoints and AI tools. Broad DLP coverage, US-centric and not focused on reversible pseudonymisation of LLM prompts.

Protecto.ai

Data guardrails for LLM and agent pipelines: detects and masks sensitive data in real time with access controls and logging. The closest functional alternative to Privaro.
