presidio

Hey, I'm one of the maintainers of Presidio OSS. We built this tool mainly for Microsoft's strategic customers and decided to open-source it for others to use. No hidden agenda here. The engine has two main advantages: It's easily expandable and customizable, and it works well at scale. We do know of organizations who are very close to production with it. Every organization has their own requirements for PII entities, many of them specific to the org itself, so the engine allows a developer to easily add support for new PII entities using code, regex or black-lists. See hree: https://github.com/microsoft/presidio/blob/master/docs/custo... As for the productization aspect, we did some performance tests and are confident with taking it to production. Single instance cluster with a medium size machine has a ~65ms response time for a 100 word

So you might have more fun with this email one https://github.com/microsoft/presidio/blob/master/presidio-a... :) ... seriously, they should have broken that down, or used the multi-line with comments pattern, if they really want people to contribute to this.

They also have a NLP engine, the regexes are just predefined recognizers for known formats. https://github.com/microsoft/presidio/tree/master/presidio-a...

answering myself, yes. It is a pile of regex https://github.com/microsoft/presidio/blob/master/presidio-a... and i can't find the body of test data easily... that's not good.

To be fair, there are different levels of detection [1], the demo is probably using the weakest one. [1] https://github.com/microsoft/presidio/blob/74ea983cc50ff76d7...
