The present disclosure describes systems, methods, and computer program products for redacting sensitive data within a database. An example method can include sending, to a database, a data query accessing a column of the database, a masking policy identifying a first category of sensitive data and a second category of sensitive data, and in response to the data query, receiving redacted data, wherein the first category of sensitive data is redacted from a first location of the column by a first redaction operation and the second category of sensitive data is redacted from a second location of the column by a second redaction operation.

Database redaction for semi-structured and unstructured data

Embodiments of the present disclosure describe systems, methods, and computer program products for redacting sensitive data within a database. An example method can include receiving a masking policy for a column of a database, the masking policy identifying a category of sensitive data, examining a column of a database to identify a category of sensitive data in a first location of the column, and, in response to a data query accessing the column, the first location of the column exceeding a threshold probability of comprising sensitive data, executing a redaction operation to redact the category of sensitive data from the first location of the column to generate redacted data for a response to the data query.

Embodiments of the present disclosure describe systems, methods, and computer program products for redacting sensitive data within a database. An example method can include examining a first column of a plurality of columns of a database to identify a first category of sensitive data in a first location of the first column and a second category of sensitive data in a second location of the first column, receiving a masking policy for the first column, the masking policy identifying the first category of sensitive data, and, in response to a data query accessing the first column, executing a redaction operation to redact the first category of sensitive data from the first location of the first column to generate redacted data for a response to the data query.
