Prevent secrets, PII, and bad data from ever leaving your application. Enforce logging rules before anything reaches your pipeline.
Everything else fixes logs after the mistake. Cerbi prevents the mistake.

Cerbi: governance at the source
Log Example
The difference is visible in the log.
Same event. Same application. One exposes credentials to your observability platform. The other does not.
User login failed email=jane@company.comPII password=SuperSecret123SECRET token=abc123xyzTOKENSensitive fields reach Datadog, Splunk, and every downstream system.
User login failed email=[REDACTED] password=[BLOCKED] token=[REDACTED]
GovernanceViolations=["SensitiveField:password","SensitiveField:token"]Sensitive fields never leave the application. Violations are recorded asynchronously.
Comparison
What Cerbi does that others cannot.
Architecture
Where Cerbi lives in your stack.
Cerbi sits between your logger and your sinks — entirely inside the application boundary. Nothing is added to your infrastructure.
Positioning
Every tool has a different moment of action.
The earlier the control point, the smaller the window of exposure. Cerbi closes that window entirely by acting inside the process, before any data moves.
Interactive Demo
See Cerbi in the Log Path
Pick a scenario, configure governance rules, and watch what gets sanitized, blocked, and routed asynchronously, before a single byte reaches your observability platform.

Built for the teams who own what gets logged.
Cerbi is a fit when logging behavior needs to be a controlled, auditable property of the platform, not a per-team decision made at the call site.
Platform engineering
You own the internal developer platform or shared logging infrastructure. You need consistent policy enforcement across many services without mandating call-site rewrites or deploying new pipeline components.
Security and compliance
You are responsible for preventing PHI, PII, credentials, and sensitive fields from reaching observability platforms. You need evidence that governance is applied at emission, not retroactively cleaned downstream.
Architecture leadership
You are designing or auditing logging strategy across a distributed services estate. You want governance that is version-controlled, policy-driven, and compatible with your existing logging framework without lock-in.
07.Origin
Built by engineers who lived the problem.
Cerbi was built after seeing the same problem across multiple production systems: PHI already in Splunk, tokens already in CloudWatch, audit trails that collapsed under review. Every team had already shipped the problem before anyone looked. The check was always too late, too manual, or missing entirely.
Logging governance should not be a post-ingest scrubbing task or a quarterly audit finding. It belongs at the moment the log is written, enforced in the same process, on the same thread, before any sink ever sees the data. That is what Cerbi does.
