PII Masking

PII (Personally Identifiable Information) masking automatically redacts sensitive data from your content to protect privacy and comply with data protection regulations.

​
How PII Masking Works

PII masking operates across three key areas:
  • Questions asked: User queries are scanned and sensitive data is masked before processing
  • File attachments: Documents uploaded during question asking are processed for PII removal
  • Data source indexing: All data sources are masked during the indexing process
When a regex pattern matches content, it’s replaced with <<label>> format (e.g., <<EMAIL>>, <<SSN>>).

​
Configuration

PII Mask Configuration
Configure PII masks using regex patterns:
  • Case sensitive: All pattern matching is case-sensitive
  • PCRE 2 standard: Follows Perl Compatible Regular Expressions 2 specification
  • Validation: Test your regex patterns at regex101.com before implementation
