Presidio is a data protection SDK for identifying and anonymizing sensitive data in structured and unstructured text. It detects personally identifiable information (PII) such as credit card numbers, names and locations, using named entity recognition, regular expressions and rule-based logic. Presidio supports custom PII entity recognition and de-identification, allowing businesses to tailor it to their specific privacy requirements. Although Presidio automates the identification of sensitive information, it’s not foolproof and may miss or misidentify data. Exercise caution when relying on its results.
