# Shorepoint

*/Startups/Shorepoint*

## Startup Overview

This proxy network intercepts and redacts sensitive compliance payloads dynamically before they reach downstream databases or third-party endpoints. By sitting entirely outside the application logic, it actively strips personally identifiable information, financial records, and credentials from data streams in transit.

Engineering and security teams face a constant threat of sensitive data leaking into internal logs, analytics platforms, and unregulated storage environments. Patching these leaks traditionally requires developers to maintain complex filtering logic directly within the application codebase, slowing down feature delivery and risking catastrophic compliance breaches when manual filters fail.

Where compliance monitors like Vanta only report on violations after the fact and tools like Nightfall AI rely on asynchronous scanning, this architecture operates completely invisible to the core application. It replaces brittle custom regex scripts with a fully deterministic redaction engine, guaranteeing that non-compliant payloads are neutralized at the network layer without demanding a single change to the existing code.

## Startup Founding Hypothesis

**Approach**: that intercepts and redacts sensitive compliance payloads dynamically
**Competitors**:
- [Vanta](/Competitors/Vanta)
- [Nightfall AI](/Competitors/Nightfall_AI)
- [custom regex scripts](/Competitors/custom_regex_scripts)
**Differentiator2x2**: invisible to the core application and fully deterministic in its redaction guarantees

## Startup Proof Points

_Illustrative — target and order-of-magnitude estimate figures, not an achieved track record (this Thing is concept-stage)._

**Pilot Goals**:
- A 14-day staging environment pilot with a mid-market fintech, aiming to process 100GB of mock payload traffic and prove zero leakage of PCI data to the backend database.
- A 30-day sidecar deployment pilot with a healthcare SaaS, aiming to validate that deterministic masking maintains original schema formats and causes zero downstream logic errors.
**Target Metrics**:
- Target: <5ms latency overhead added per inbound API request during network-layer redaction
- Aim: 100% reduction in configured sensitive PCI/PHI data reaching core application databases
- Target: 0 application code changes required to implement deterministic redaction rulesets
- Aim: >90% reduction in compliance audit preparation time by removing backend systems from scope
**Target Case Studies**:
- Targeting a Series B payment infrastructure startup (VP of Engineering) aiming to remove their core transaction database from PCI-DSS audit scope by tokenizing Primary Account Numbers at the network ingress layer.
- Targeting a mid-market telehealth provider (Chief Information Security Officer) aiming to achieve HIPAA compliance for legacy applications by masking PHI via a localized sidecar, requiring zero code refactoring.
- Targeting an enterprise HR SaaS platform (Lead DevOps Engineer) aiming to intercept and redact European user PII across 50+ microservices simultaneously via a single VPC-peered proxy deployment.
**Testimonial Targets**:
- VP of Engineering at a fintech startup expressing relief that achieving PCI compliance did not require stalling their core product roadmap to build custom middleware.
- Chief Information Security Officer at a healthcare platform highlighting absolute trust in the deterministic redaction, noting that sensitive data physically cannot reach vulnerable legacy databases.
- Lead DevOps Engineer praising the frictionless deployment of the VPC-peered proxy and confirming that the strict data-typing kept downstream application logic functioning seamlessly.

## Startup Top Risks

**Risks**:
- Severity: existential · Description: Enterprise security teams refuse to route production network traffic through an unproven third-party interception layer. · Mitigation Status: unmitigated
- Severity: existential · Description: A false negative in the deterministic redaction engine leaks regulated data and triggers immediate customer breach liability. · Mitigation Status: in-progress
- Severity: high · Description: Inline payload interception adds unacceptable latency to synchronous API calls and causes core application timeouts. · Mitigation Status: in-progress
- Severity: moderate · Description: Internal engineering teams bypass the network proxy layer entirely during infrastructure changes and render the redaction blind. · Mitigation Status: unmitigated
