Sensitive data

Also known as: confidential data

Security

Sensitive data is any information that must be protected from unauthorized disclosure.

  • PII and personal records.
  • Credentials and keys.
  • Trade secrets, medical, financial data.

The rule in an AI pipeline: know what counts, keep it out of prompts/logs where possible, and control what the model can do with it.

First step: inventory what's sensitive in your pipeline. You can't protect what you haven't named.
