Simplified PII Field Encryption

A non-technical tool that allows data owners (not engineers) to easily identify, tag, and apply specific encryption/masking policies to Personally Identifiable Information (PII) fields in a database.

🎯The Problem

Teams struggle to enforce consistent PII security because policy enforcement is often manual, complex, and requires high-level database access.

💡The Solution

A UI layer that sits above the database schema, allowing users to visually select fields and assign a compliance policy (e.g., 'Mask on Test' or 'Encrypt in DB').

👥Target Users

Data Governance Officers, Compliance Managers, Database Administrators (DBAs)
