Admin Panel Guide

Admin Panel

The Admin Panel is your control center for managing LLMInspect's security features and GuardRails. Access it at https://lab.eunomatix.com:7116/ using the same credentials provided during onboarding.

Note for Onboarding Users: If you accessed the system through the onboarding portal, please send your first successful message in InspectChat to initialize the system before you can view and modify your GuardRails configuration in the Admin Panel.

Getting Started with GuardRails

What are GuardRails?

GuardRails are intelligent security controls that monitor, filter, and protect your AI interactions in real-time. They act as automated safeguards that but not limited to:

  • Prevent data leaks by detecting and blocking sensitive information
  • Ensure content safety by filtering harmful or inappropriate content
  • Maintain compliance with your organization's policies
  • Provide visibility into security events and policy violations

How GuardRails Work

Real-time Processing:

  1. User submits a prompt in InspectChat

  2. GuardRails analyze the content before it reaches the AI model

  3. Based on configuration, the system either:

    • Allows the request to proceed
    • Warns the user but allows the request
    • Blocks the request and explains why

Admin Panel Overview

When you log into the Admin Panel, you'll see:

  • GuardRails Status: Quick overview of enabled/disabled protections
  • Configuration Options: Settings for each GuardRail type
  • Model Assignment: Which AI models have which protections enabled

This is where you can configure GuardRails settings.

GuardRails Reference

DenyList GuardRail

Purpose & Use Cases: The DenyList plugin lets you centrally define and enforce a blacklist of words, phrases, domains, URLs or other terms—such as, project codenames, internal IPs and servers, confidential budgets, or profanity—so that any prompt containing those entries is automatically blocked before processing. It’s ideal for preventing disclosure of sensitive or proprietary information and for filtering out inappropriate language in prompts without relying on LLMs.

Configuration:

  1. Navigate to the DenyList section in the Admin Panel.

  2. Enter the word or phrase you want to block.

    To add multiple entries at once, place each on its own line, then press Ctrl + Enter or click Add.

  3. View current entries in the list below.

  4. Remove entries by clicking the delete button next to each item.

Examples:

Words to block:
- "ProjectCodename2024"
- "www.facebook.com"
- "internal-server-ip"
- "confidential-budget"

How It Works:

  • Exact Matching: Blocks the exact word or phrase as specified

  • Case Sensitive: "SECRET" and "secret" are treated as different entries

  • Complete Word Matching: DenyList only supports exact word matching (e.g., "password123" will not be blocked if only "password" is in the DenyList)

Note: Words containing spaces are not supported.

Best Practices:

  • Enter only those keywords which you want to exact match.

  • Use specific phrases rather than common words

  • Keep the size of list considerable

Administration

  • Admin Only: Only administrator users can configure or modify the DenyList GuardRail.
  • Onboarding Portal: If you accessed the system through the onboarding portal, you can disable the plugin through Admin Panel.

DenyRegex GuardRail

Purpose: The DenyRegex GuardRail lets you configure custom regular‑expression patterns that are evaluated locally on each prompt. Here, you can add the exact patterns you want to block—such as proprietary codes, credit card numbers, or other sensitive data—and they will be automatically detected and prevented from ever reaching the LLM.

Use Cases:

  • Block social security numbers: \d{3}-\d{2}-\d{4}

  • Filter email addresses: [a-zA-Z0-9._%+-]+@[a-zA-Z0-9.-]+\.[a-zA-Z]{2,}

  • Block phone numbers: \(\d{3}\)\s*\d{3}-\d{4}

  • Filter IP addresses: \b\d{1,3}\.\d{1,3}\.\d{1,3}\.\d{1,3}\b

Configuration:

  1. Navigate to the DenyRegex section in the Configuration Portal.
  2. Enter your regular expression pattern.
  3. (Optional) Add a description by using the format
    pattern|description
    
    where | separates the pattern from its description.
  4. Add multiple patterns at once by placing each (and its optional description) on a new line, then pressing Ctrl + Enter or clicking Add.
  5. Manage existing patterns in the list view—edit or delete entries as needed.

Note: Do not include the pipe character (|) within your regex pattern itself—it’s reserved to separate the pattern from its description.

Common Patterns:

Pattern Type Regex Example Description
Credit Card \d{4}[\s-]?\d{4}[\s-]?\d{4}[\s-]?\d{4} Matches credit card numbers
SSN \d{3}-\d{2}-\d{4} Social Security Numbers
Phone \+?1?[\s-]?\(?[0-9]{3}\)?[\s-]?[0-9]{3}[\s-]?[0-9]{4} US phone numbers
URL https?://[^\s]+ Web URLs

Best Practices:

  • Test regex patterns before deploying

  • Use specific patterns to avoid false positives

  • Add the optional description to each pattern for better validation reports

  • Consider case sensitivity in your patterns

Administration

  • Admin Only: Only administrator users can configure or modify the DenyRegex GuardRail.
  • Onboarding Portal: If you accessed the system through the onboarding portal, you can disable the plugin through Admin Panel.

DetectPII GuardRail (Personally Identifiable Information)

Purpose: Automatically detects and handles personally identifiable information in prompts and responses.

Powered by Microsoft Presidio service for PII detection and analysis.

List of Supported Entities

Note: The system also supports country-specific entities including US (SSN, Driver License, Passport), UK (NHS, NINO), and entities from Spain, Italy, Poland, Singapore, Australia, India, and Finland. Country-specific detection may remain disabled by default to keep the configuration simple.

Configuration Options:

1. Enable/Disable Toggle:

  • Enabled: PII detection is active

  • Disabled: No PII checking occurs

2. Detection Modes:

Permissive Mode:

  • Uses contextual analysis

  • "Who is Albert Einstein?" → Allowed (historical figure)

  • "My name is John Smith and I live at..." → Blocked (personal info)

  • Best for: General use where some names/terms are acceptable

Strict Mode:

  • Blocks any detected PII regardless of context

  • "Albert Einstein" → Blocked (contains a name)

  • More aggressive filtering

  • Best for: Highly sensitive environments

3. On-Fail Actions:

Block:

  • Stops the request completely

  • Shows user why it was blocked

  • No data reaches the AI model

  • Recommended for: Production environments

Warn:

  • Shows a warning message to the user about detected PII

  • Automatically masks actual PII with dummy values before sending to the LLM

  • Preserves conversation context while protecting sensitive data

  • Automatically unmasks the response back to the user for seamless experience

Example:

Image description

  • User input: "Hey my name is Jasmine and my email is [email protected]"

  • Warning shown to user: "⚠️ Securit Alert triggered"

  • Request sent to LLM: "Hey my name is fake-name1 and my email is [email protected]"

  • LLM response: "Hello fake-name1! I'm just a computer program, so I don't have feelings, but I'm here and ready to help you with whatever you need. How can I assist today?"

  • Response returned to user: "⚠️ Security Alert: Your message contains content that does not comply with usage guidelines. The violation has been detected and logged for security review. Hello Jasimne! I'm just a computer program, so I don't have feelings, but I'm here and ready to help you with whatever you need. How can I assist today?"

  • Logs the warning for audit

  • Good for: Training, awareness, and maintaining user experience while protecting data

Allow:

  • Does not detects PII and takes no action

  • Request proceeds normally

4. Model Selection:

Choose which AI models this GuardRail applies to:

  • Select specific models (GPT-4, Gemini, etc.)

  • Apply to all models

  • Different rules for different models

Implementation Example:

Scenario: Employee asks "What should I do if my SSN is 123-45-6789?"

Permissive + Block: Request blocked, user sees validaton report "PII detected"
Permissive + Warn: User warned, warn message is shown to user
Strict + Block: Request blocked immediately
Allow: Request proceeds.

DetectSafeUnsafePrompt GuardRail

  • Analytics: Track sentiment trends over time

Configuration Options:

  • Enable/Disable: Turn sentiment analysis on or off

  • Threshold Settings: Define what threshold constitutes "very negative" or "very positive"

  • Model Selection: Apply to specific AI models

Configuration Best Practices

Getting Started

  1. Begin with monitoring: Set GuardRails to "Allow" mode initially to understand your usage patterns

  2. Gradually tighten controls: Move to "Warn" then "Block" as you tune settings

  3. Test thoroughly: Use test prompts to verify GuardRails work as expected

  4. Train your users: Ensure team members understand what's blocked and why

Layered Security Approach

  • Use multiple GuardRails: Combine DenyList, DetectPII, and DetectSafeUnsafePrompt

  • Different rules for different models: More restrictive for external-facing models

  • Regular reviews: Monthly assessment of GuardRails effectiveness

Performance Considerations

  • Too many restrictions can hinder productivity: Balance security with usability

  • Monitor false positives: Adjust settings if legitimate requests are blocked

  • User feedback: Encourage reporting of inappropriate blocks
