Abstract
Embodiments of the present disclosure describe systems, methods, and computer program products for redacting sensitive data within a database. An example method can include examining a first column of a plurality of columns of a database to identify a first category of sensitive data in a first location of the first column and a second category of sensitive data in a second location of the first column, receiving a masking policy for the first column, the masking policy identifying the first category of sensitive data, and, in response to a data query accessing the first column, executing a redaction operation to redact the first category of sensitive data from the first location of the first column to generate redacted data for a response to the data query.
