What makes it different
  • Fails open — if Frenemy goes down, your site serves normally without any dependency on the service
  • Verified search engines cannot be blocked by default, protecting SEO rankings
  • Single kill switch turns off all enforcement instantly without deploy or tickets
  • Transparent data alignment — only revenue is subscriptions, so incentive is to be worth it
  • Works across multiple platforms with same classification engine
  • Secrets are masked on the device before any record is created, so live secrets never reach company servers
  • Deterministic regex rules instead of AI models, making detection explainable and consistent offline
  • Contractual guarantee that detection data cannot be used for performance reviews
