In more detail

Content safety vs data security

OpenAI Moderation API flags harmful content (hate speech, violence, self-harm). SignalVault focuses on data security: PII, secrets, and compliance. They solve different problems.

Moderation doesn't log

Moderation tells you if content is safe. It doesn't create an audit trail of who called what, when, or what the response was. SignalVault logs the full interaction, including moderation results.

Complementary, not competing

Use both. Run moderation for content safety; use SignalVault for encrypted logging, PII detection, retention, and exports. SignalVault can log moderation API responses as part of your audit trail.
