The GDPR's strictest rules are for something else: health data and the other special categories under Article 9, and criminal-offence data under Article 10. None of it has a format you can match. Here's why it matters, why it's hard, and how covering it lets sensitive internal processes use AI with far less risk. GDPR Article 9 health data AI coverage https://euredact.dev/blog/euredact-cloud-closed-alpha https://euredact.dev/blog/euredact-cloud-closed-alpha Tue, 15 Sep 2026 00:00:00 GMT The managed neural layer we've been building alongside the open-source engine is running in closed alpha. Structured PII never reaches the model, inference stays in the EU, and zero data retention is on by default, so your document text is gone the moment your result is handed back. Here's what it does — and what still has to be finished before anyone can sign a contract for it. product-update cloud GDPR PII https://euredact.dev/blog/you-cant-leak-what-you-dont-hold https://euredact.dev/blog/you-cant-leak-what-you-dont-hold Wed, 19 Aug 2026 00:00:00 GMT This year, two of Europe's most security-conscious institutions were hit by breaches — one through a zero-day no patch existed for. The lesson isn't that anyone failed at security. It's that the size of a leak is decided years before the attacker shows up, by how much data you keep. Data minimisation is attack surface reduction. GDPR PII security data-minimisation https://euredact.dev/blog/v2-model-progress https://euredact.dev/blog/v2-model-progress Wed, 22 Jul 2026 00:00:00 GMT The second-generation euRedact redaction model is through its first full evaluation run. Raw potential misses per document dropped 54% versus the first generation, with the biggest gains on exactly the entity types that matter most under GDPR. Here's what the numbers show, what changed under the hood, and why the headline benchmark is still a few weeks out.

Here's what actually changed, what didn't — and why reading this as 'compliance can wait' is the most expensive mistake you could make with it.

Here's what ends up in them, how it gets there, and what you can do about it.

For companies building data-intensive products in Europe, this isn't just a PR problem — it's an architecture problem.

Here's why redacting PII across 31 EU countries requires a fundamentally different approach — and what we're building to solve it. GDPR PII open-source NLP https://euredact.dev/blog/first-model-milestone https://euredact.dev/blog/first-model-milestone Fri, 10 Apr 2026 00:00:00 GMT We've trained our first dedicated PII detection model for European documents. It's faster and cheaper than general-purpose LLMs, and the early evaluation results are promising. NLP product-update
