Performance Considerations
Latency Impact
| Library | Average Latency | Impact |
|---|---|---|
| Guardrails AI | 50-100ms | Low |
| Presidio | 100-200ms | Medium |
| Detoxify | 50-150ms | Low-Medium |
| Garak | N/A (offline) | None |
Optimization Strategies
- Caching: Cache results for identical inputs
- Async Processing: Run validations in parallel
- Batching: Process multiple items together
- Model Optimization: Use smaller models where appropriate
- Selective Application: Apply heavy checks only when needed

Next Steps
- Install all Tier 1 libraries (1-2 hours)
- Create integration wrappers (4-6 hours)
- Add to existing pipeline (4-6 hours)
- Write integration tests (2-3 hours)
- Performance testing (2-3 hours)
- Documentation (2-3 hours)
Total Time: 15-23 hours (2-3 days)
Support & Troubleshooting
Common Issues
Issue: Guardrails AI validation too strict Solution: Adjust thresholds in configuration
Issue: Presidio false positives Solution: Lower score_threshold or customize entity recognizers
Issue: Detoxify performance slow Solution: Use 'original' model instead of 'multilingual'
Issue: Library conflicts Solution: Use separate virtual environments or Docker containers
Conclusion
These integrations enhance your existing security system with best-in-class open-source tools. Each library adds specific capabilities while maintaining the modular architecture that makes your system flexible and maintainable.
Priority Order:
- Microsoft Presidio (PII detection critical)
- Guardrails AI (output validation essential)
- Detoxify (toxicity detection)
- Garak (testing/validation)
Start with Presidio and Guardrails AI for immediate impact, then add others as needed.
