Code leaks are fast, silent, and costly. Microsoft Presidio Policy Enforcement stops them before they happen.

Presidio is an open source framework for detecting, anonymizing, and enforcing policies around sensitive data. It works across text, images, and other data streams. With policy enforcement, Presidio moves beyond detection. It automatically applies rules that block, mask, or transform data that violates your compliance requirements. This lets teams bake privacy protections directly into their workflows.

Presidio’s policy engine integrates with detection modules, so rules trigger in real time. You can define conditions for PII, PHI, financial data, or custom patterns. When data matches, policies execute instantly. For example, if an email contains a Social Security number, Presidio can redact it before it ever reaches logs, repositories, or downstream services. This minimizes risk while keeping systems operational.

Because Presidio is extensible, policy enforcement can run in batch jobs, APIs, or live pipelines. Engineers can plug it into CI/CD workflows, serverless functions, or microservices. It supports configuration through YAML, Python, and REST endpoints, making automation straightforward. Policies can be combined with asynchronous detection for high-volume use cases and low latency.

Presidio Policy Enforcement is built to help organizations meet GDPR, HIPAA, and internal security standards without slowing development. It turns compliance into a repeatable process under version control. Rules can be audited, tested, and deployed like any other code. This makes security and privacy part of your software’s DNA.
