Discovering PII Inside InterSystems IRIS

Discovering PII Inside InterSystems IRIS

Short summary

MVP for PII detection running inside InterSystems IRIS using Embedded Python and Presidio, avoiding compliance risks from exporting sensitive data. Architecture separates scanner, identifier, and reporter for swappable detection engines. Addresses GDPR, LGPD, and HIPAA transmission security requirements.

  • Run PII detection inside IRIS instead of exporting data to external tools, reducing compliance risk and attack surface
  • Three-component architecture (PIIScanner, PIIIdentifier, PIIReporter) enables engine swapping without rewrite
  • Presidio + spaCy detect patterns and NLP entities; multi-language support (English, Portuguese) handles global datasets

Generated with AI, which can make mistakes.
