Datadog Sensitive Data Scanner helps organizations discover, classify, and protect sensitive information across observability data such as logs, APM traces, RUM events, and cloud storage. In distributed systems, sensitive data can easily spread across services and teams, increasing compliance risks. Sensitive Data Scanner automatically scans telemetry data before or during ingestion using customizable detection rules to identify patterns like credit card numbers, API keys, and tokens. Once detected, the data can be redacted or hashed in real time to prevent exposure. With built-in rules and custom detection capabilities, teams can monitor sensitive data across environments, prioritize risks, and maintain compliance with regulations such as GDPR, HIPAA, and PCI DSS.
