PII Detection¶

≥ 2022.R3

Sidra includes a built-in mechanism to help identify and tag Personally Identifiable Information (PII) as part of your data governance strategy.

This page provides details on the available API endpoints related to PII detection.

The main endpoint, AddPIITags, is used to associate PII tags with specific Attribute IDs (i.e., metadata fields). All attributes submitted in a single call must belong to the same Entity, as this operation is typically performed once per table. If a tag name does not yet exist in the system, it will be automatically created on the fly.

Additional endpoints are also available to: - Check whether PII detection is currently enabled. - Retrieve a list of assets pending PII processing. - View Entities that have been configured for PII tagging.

For a high-level overview of how PII detection works in Sidra, see the PII Detection.
