PII Catalog Rasp is the intersection of runtime application self-protection (RASP) and a precise, continuously updated inventory of personally identifiable information (PII). It does more than scan code or data stores. It watches your application at runtime, detects exposure in real time, and blocks threats as they happen.
A PII Catalog Rasp solution builds a live map of all sensitive data your services create, process, and store. It tags data flows, notes transformations, and keeps accurate context for every instance of PII. The RASP layer uses this map to apply inline protection — stopping injections, deserialization attacks, and unauthorized reads without letting requests slip past. This combination removes the blind spots that static security tools often leave behind.
Key capabilities include:
- Automatic discovery of PII fields across microservices and APIs.
- Runtime tagging and tracking of sensitive payloads.
- Policy-based enforcement to block or sanitize unsafe operations.
- Continuous sync with compliance requirements like GDPR and CCPA.
- Minimal performance impact through instrumented safeguards.
For engineering teams, a strong PII Catalog Rasp means no guessing where sensitive data is or how to protect it mid-flight. For compliance, it means audit-ready proofs of monitoring and control. For security, it is the fastest route to closing zero-day gaps that target personal data handling.
Integrating PII Catalog Rasp early in the development lifecycle strengthens security posture without slowing release velocity. It also delivers the clear visibility that regulators, customers, and investors expect.
