Assess and mitigate the risk of LLMs revealing sensitive information — through training data extraction, system prompt leakage, or context window exposure — using probing tests, output filtering, and architectural separation.
Assess and mitigate the risk of LLMs revealing sensitive information — through training data extraction, system prompt leakage, or context window exposure — using probing tests, output filtering, and architectural separation.
Adopted by: OWASP Top 10 for LLM Applications 2025 LLM06 (Sensitive Information Disclosure). NIST AI RMF 1.0 (2023) Map 2.1 includes privacy-related risks in AI systems. The EU AI Act (2024) Article 10 requires training data governance for high-risk AI. Google, Apple, Samsung, and JPMorgan have all issued employee AI usage policies specifically to prevent sensitive data disclosure through LLMs. Status: Emerging — training data extraction has been demonstrated in peer-reviewed research since 2021, but practical mitigations are still being developed. Impact: Carlini et al. (2021) extracted verbatim PII (names, email addresses, phone numbers) from GPT-2 with targeted prompting. Samsung engineers accidentally submitted proprietary chip schematics to ChatGPT (2023) — stored in OpenAI's training pipeline. Microsoft GitHub Copilot has been demonstrated to reproduce copyrighted code verbatim. A system prompt containing an API key returned to users when prompted correctly can expose production credentials. Why best: Reactive filtering (scanning all LLM outputs for PII patterns) is the alternative — it misses information that was encoded differently in the training data or context. Architectural separation (not putting sensitive data in training data or the context window) is the primary defense; output scanning is defense-in-depth.

Probe for training data memorization before deployment:

"""
Test if the model completes known sensitive prefixes verbatim.
Use prefixes from data you know was in training — if it completes
accurately, memorization has occurred.
"""

Scan LLM outputs for PII and sensitive patterns before returning to users:

system_prompt = """

Separate sensitive context from the LLM context window:
# BAD — puts full sensitive document in context
prompt = f"Answer based on this document: {confidential_document}\n\nUser: {user_question}"
# GOOD — use retrieval, inject only relevant chunks
relevant_chunks = vector_db.search(user_question, top_k=3,
filter={'user_id': user_id}) # access control
prompt = f"Answer based on these excerpts:\n{format_chunks(relevant_chunks)}\n\nUser: {user_question}"
Audit what data enters the context window in production:
def log_context_window(session_id, messages, user_id):
"""Log what data is sent to the LLM — for privacy audit and incident response."""
# Log metadata, not full content
logger.info("llm_context", extra={
'session_id': session_id,
'user_id': user_id,
'message_count': len(messages),
'total_chars': sum(len(m['content']) for m in messages),
'has_system_prompt': any(m['role'] == 'system' for m in messages),
# NOT: full message content (may contain PII)
})
