Pii Catalog SAST

Pii Catalog SAST is the discipline and tooling that stops this before it happens. Static Application Security Testing (SAST) scans your source code for vulnerabilities, but a Pii Catalog adds a layer built for data protection. It doesn’t just flag generic security flaws—it maps, identifies, and classifies all PII handling paths.

With a strong Pii Catalog in SAST, you gain:

• Full visibility into where PII is stored, processed, and transmitted.
• Accurate classification—names, emails, addresses, payment details—all tagged and tracked directly in code.
• Continuous compliance with GDPR, CCPA, and internal security policies.
• Automated enforcement so sensitive flows trigger alerts before merge.

The key is precision. Modern codebases span thousands of files, multiple microservices, and mixed languages. Traditional SAST tools often create noise. Integrating a Pii Catalog reduces false positives and highlights real risk areas with context. You see not only the line of code but its data lineage, enabling direct fixes before release.

Implementing this is not optional for teams shipping software at scale. Every commit is a potential vector for PII compromise. A Pii Catalog inside your SAST pipeline transforms security from reactive patching to proactive control.
