Overview
Research summary
Presidio detects and transforms personally identifiable information using named-entity recognition, patterns, checksums, context and custom recognizers. Its analyzer and anonymizer can be embedded in Python workflows or deployed as services, with companion modules for images and structured data. Teams can use it to remove or replace sensitive fields before sending information to an LLM or storing application traces.
Presidio is a data de-identification component, not a general prompt-injection firewall. Originally created at Microsoft, the MIT-licensed project has moved to the independent Data Privacy Stack organization; the current repository and documentation reflect that transition.
