​
Combining Presets and Frameworks

Presets and frameworks work together to provide comprehensive coverage: 
import { continum } from '@continum/sdk';

continum.configure({
  apiKey: process.env.CONTINUM_API_KEY!,
  preset: 'fintech-ai',           // Base detection types
  comply: ['FINRA', 'SOC2']       // Additional compliance checks
});
This configuration will enable:
  • All checks from fintech-ai preset
  • Additional checks required by FINRA and SOC2

​
Custom Detection Types

For advanced use cases, you can specify detection types directly: 
import { continum } from '@continum/sdk';

continum.configure({
  apiKey: process.env.CONTINUM_API_KEY!,
  sandbox: {
    types: [
      'PII_DETECTION',
      'SECURITY_AUDIT',
      'PROMPT_INJECTION',
      'CUSTOM'
    ],
    customRules: ['CUSTOM_RULE_1', 'CUSTOM_RULE_2']
  }
});
Available detection types:
  • PII_DETECTION - Personal information
  • BIAS_DETECTION - Discrimination and bias
  • SECURITY_AUDIT - Code injection, vulnerabilities
  • PROMPT_INJECTION - Jailbreaks, goal hijacking
  • DATA_EXFILTRATION - Data leaks, cross-user leaks
  • AGENT_SAFETY - Irreversible actions, scope creep
  • HALLUCINATION_DETECTION - False information
  • CONTENT_POLICY - Harmful content
  • FINANCIAL_COMPLIANCE - Financial regulations
  • LEGAL_COMPLIANCE - Legal requirements
  • MULTI_TURN_ATTACK - Multi-step attacks
  • SUPPLY_CHAIN_INTEGRITY - Dependency security
  • FULL_SPECTRUM - All detection types
  • CUSTOM - Custom rules

​
Environment-Specific Configuration

Use different presets for different environments: 
import { continum } from '@continum/sdk';

const preset = process.env.NODE_ENV === 'production'
  ? 'customer-support'
  : 'internal-tool';

continum.configure({
  apiKey: process.env.CONTINUM_API_KEY!,
  preset,
  environment: process.env.NODE_ENV as 'production' | 'staging' | 'development'
});

​
Best Practices

​
1. Start with a Preset

Always start with a preset that matches your use case: 
// ✅ Good
{ preset: 'customer-support', comply: ['GDPR'] }

// ❌ Avoid (unless you have specific requirements)
{ sandbox: { types: ['PII_DETECTION', 'BIAS_DETECTION', ...] } }

​
2. Add Compliance Frameworks

Specify all applicable frameworks: 
{
  preset: 'healthcare-ai',
  comply: ['HIPAA', 'GDPR', 'SOC2']
}

​
3. Use Environment Variables

Keep configuration flexible: 
const frameworks = process.env.COMPLIANCE_FRAMEWORKS?.split(',') || [];

continum.configure({
  apiKey: process.env.CONTINUM_API_KEY!,
  preset: 'customer-support',
  comply: frameworks as ComplianceFramework[]
});

​
4. Use Environment Variables

Keep configuration flexible: 
const frameworks = process.env.COMPLIANCE_FRAMEWORKS?.split(',') || [];

continum.configure({
  apiKey: process.env.CONTINUM_API_KEY!,
  preset: 'customer-support',
  comply: frameworks as ComplianceFramework[]
});
