# Contains PII

Detects personally identifiable information (PII) such as SSNs, phone numbers, credit card numbers, and email addresses using Microsoft's [Presidio library](https://microsoft.github.io/presidio/). Will automatically mask detected PII or block content based on configuration.
Detects personally identifiable information (PII) such as SSNs, phone numbers, credit card numbers, and email addresses using Guardrails' built-in TypeScript regex engine. The check can automatically mask detected spans or block the request based on configuration.

**Advanced Security Features:**

- **Unicode normalization**: Prevents bypasses using fullwidth characters (@) or zero-width spaces
- **Encoded PII detection**: Optionally detects PII hidden in Base64, URL-encoded, or hex strings
- **URL context awareness**: Detects emails in query parameters (e.g., `GET /api?user=john@example.com`)
- **Custom patterns**: Extends the default entity list with CVV/CVC codes, BIC/SWIFT identifiers, and other global formats

## Configuration

```json
{
"name": "Contains PII",
"config": {
"entities": ["EMAIL_ADDRESS", "US_SSN", "CREDIT_CARD", "PHONE_NUMBER"],
"block": false
"entities": ["EMAIL_ADDRESS", "US_SSN", "CREDIT_CARD", "PHONE_NUMBER", "CVV", "BIC_SWIFT"],
"block": false,
"detect_encoded_pii": false
}
}
```

### Parameters

- **`entities`** (required): List of PII entity types to detect. See the full list of [supported entities](https://microsoft.github.io/presidio/supported_entities/).
- **`entities`** (required): List of PII entity types to detect. See the `PIIEntity` enum in `src/checks/pii.ts` for the full list, including custom entities such as `CVV` (credit card security codes) and `BIC_SWIFT` (bank identification codes).
- **`block`** (optional): Whether to block content or just mask PII (default: `false`)
- **`detect_encoded_pii`** (optional): If `true`, detects PII in Base64/URL-encoded/hex strings (default: `false`)

## Implementation Notes

Under the hood the TypeScript guardrail normalizes text (Unicode NFKC), strips zero-width characters, and runs curated regex patterns for each configured entity. When `detect_encoded_pii` is enabled the check also decodes Base64, URL-encoded, and hexadecimal substrings before rescanning them for matches, remapping any findings back to the original encoded content.

**Stage-specific behavior is critical:**

- **Pre-flight stage**: Use `block=false` (default) for automatic PII masking of user input

### With Encoded PII Detection Enabled

When `detect_encoded_pii: true`, the guardrail also detects and masks encoded PII:

```json
{
"guardrail_name": "Contains PII",
"detected_entities": {
"EMAIL_ADDRESS": [
"user@email.com",
"am9obkBleGFtcGxlLmNvbQ==",
"%6a%6f%65%40domain.com",

"checked_text": "Contact <EMAIL_ADDRESS> or <EMAIL_ADDRESS_ENCODED> or <EMAIL_ADDRESS_ENCODED>",
"block_mode": false,
"pii_detected": true
}
```

Note: Encoded PII is masked with `<ENTITY_TYPE_ENCODED>` to distinguish it from plain text PII.

### Field Descriptions

- **`detected_entities`**: Detected entities and their values (includes both plain and encoded forms when `detect_encoded_pii` is enabled)
- **`entity_types_checked`**: List of entity types that were configured for detection
- **`checked_text`**: Text with PII masked (if PII was found) or original text (if no PII was found)
- **`checked_text`**: Text with PII masked. Plain PII uses `<ENTITY_TYPE>`, encoded PII uses `<ENTITY_TYPE_ENCODED>`
- **`block_mode`**: Whether the check was configured to block or mask
- **`pii_detected`**: Boolean indicating if any PII was found
- **`pii_detected`**: Boolean indicating if any PII was found (plain or encoded)
