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 entity recognizers and de-identification pipelines, allowing organizations to tailor it to their privacy and compliance needs. Our teams have used Presidio in enterprise environments with strict data-sharing controls when integrating with LLMs. While it automates the detection of sensitive information, it isn’t foolproof and may miss or misidentify entities. Teams should exercise caution when relying on its results.
