AI is only as safe as the data it’s trained on. But most organizations still rely on raw, unfiltered datasets—filled with sensitive, personal, or regulated information. That data, once inside a model, can lead to prompt injection, leakage, unauthorized access, and major compliance risks.
BigID is changing that.
We’re excited to introduce Data Cleansing for AI, a powerful new capability that helps organizations remove high-risk content from AI datasets before it becomes a problem. With this launch, BigID gives security and governance teams a way to automatically redact or tokenize sensitive data across both structured and unstructured sources—helping teams build.
The Challenge: AI Pipelines Are Risk Pipelines
Enterprises are scaling GenAI across the business—but most still don’t have guardrails on the data flowing into models. That creates a blind spot: once sensitive data enters a prompt, a copilot, or a training set, it’s almost impossible to contain.
Security teams need a way to clean up that data before it reaches the model.
Until now, that’s been manual, inconsistent, and unreliable.
BigID’s Answer: Cleanse Data Before AI Touches It
Data Cleansing for AI solves this problem by giving teams a scalable way to pre-process datasets with built-in governance.
- Automatically detect and classify personal, sensitive, or regulated data
- Choose to redact or tokenize the content—preserving utility without exposing risk
- Apply cleansing to both structured and unstructured data: emails, PDFs, docs, and more
- Enforce policy at the source, before data enters your LLM pipelines
The result? Cleaner datasets, lower risk, and stronger AI security posture.
Real-World Benefits
- Prevent Data Leakage: Stop personal and confidential information from being embedded in AI outputs.
- Protect Against Prompt Injection: Minimize injection risk by cleansing prompts and source files.
- Maintain Context, Not Risk: Tokenization preserves structure so models still learn effectively.
- Govern Unstructured Data: Cleanse data beyond databases—where most sensitive content actually lives.
- Accelerate AI Use with Confidence: Give AI teams faster access to approved, trusted datasets.
Why It Matters
AI is moving fast—but security, privacy, and compliance can’t be left behind.
Data Cleansing for AI is part of BigID’s broader Secure Data Pipeline, helping organizations gain control over what data gets discovered, labeled, and used in GenAI. It’s how enterprises move from blind risk to proactive governance—without blocking innovation.
