Industry-Specific Detection Profiles
Context-Aware Sanitization: 24+ Sector-Specific Profiles
AI Summary / Key Takeaways
"Instantly deploy compliance frameworks tailored to your sector. Activate 24+ industry profiles—including HIPAA, SOC 2, Legal, and HR—to automatically enforce context-aware PII scrubbing policies."

The Challenge with AI Data Workflows
A generalized PII scanner is useless for specialized fields. An HR manager needs to scrub 'Current Salary', while a medical researcher needs to redact 'ICD-10 codes'. Configuring these rules manually across an enterprise requires hundreds of hours of regular expression testing.
How It Works
Select Profile
Select from 24+ built-in profiles (General + specialized presets like Legal, HR, Medical, DevOps) to target specific data.
Engine Calibration
The Web Worker dynamically updates the active regular expression matrices based on your selected compliance boundary.
Neon Glow Highlight
The UI highlights PII tags and updates editor shadows with custom neon CSS classes (e.g. glow-medical, glow-dev) for real-time visual tracking.

Supported Formats & Limitations
Supported Formats
System Limitations
- Switching profiles forces a re-index of the active text
- Certain high-specificity profiles (like Pharma) employ stricter heuristics that may increase false positives on generic text
24+ Industry Detection Profiles: Full Reference
Generic PII scanners miss the identifiers that matter most in your industry. An IBAN in a financial document, an NPI number in a clinical note, an MLS listing ID in a real estate contract — none caught by name/email/phone detection. PrivacyScrubber's detection profile system provides curated, industry-specific regex libraries. See our detailed audit of the top 20 corporate PII parameters for full regulatory breakdown.
Profile Directory
| Profile | Key Entity Types | Tier |
|---|---|---|
| General PII | Names, Emails, Phones, SSNs, Credit Cards, IPs, JWTs | Free |
| Healthcare (PHI) | MRN, NPI, DEA numbers, ICD-10 codes, DOB, Insurance IDs | PRO |
| Legal | Case numbers, Bar IDs, Court filing codes, EIN | PRO |
| Finance | IBAN, BIC/SWIFT, ISIN, Routing numbers, Account numbers | PRO |
| HR / Employment | Employee IDs, EIN, Payroll codes, I-9 identifiers | PRO |
| DevOps / Tech | API keys, Bearer tokens, DB connection strings, S3 ARNs | PRO |
| Real Estate | MLS listing IDs, Parcel numbers, Property tax IDs | PRO |
| Academic | Student IDs, FERPA-relevant fields, Research participant codes | PRO |
How Profile Stacking Works
When you enable multiple profiles simultaneously, all their regex rules are merged into a single detection pass. Rules are de-duplicated (if two profiles both catch emails, the rule runs once). The merged ruleset is sorted by pattern specificity and applied in a single descending-index sweep.
Selecting a Profile: Secure Workspace vs Chrome Extension
Secure Workspace: The Detection Profile dropdown appears above the main input area. Toggle switches enable/stack profiles. The total entity count for the selected combination is shown before you scan.
Chrome Extension: Open the popup (Alt+Shift+P). The Profile tab lists all available profiles for your tier. Select one or stack multiple. Applies to all scrubbing done on any supported AI platform.
Legal teams sanitizing case files before AI contract review should see the legal AI tools GDPR compliance guide for attorney-client privilege considerations.

Client-Side Reliability & Audit Verification
Powered by the Zero-Trust Sanitization Engine (ZTDS). All detection, tokenization, and regex evaluation execute 100% inside your local client process boundary — eliminating cloud proxies, intermediate servers, and third-party data retention risks.
Step-by-Step Guide
How to use this feature
Click the Profile selector
In the main toolbar, find the Detection Profile dropdown (default: General PII). Click to open the profile list.
Select your industry
Choose from 24+ profiles: Medical PHI, Legal, Finance, HR, DevOps, Sales, Real Estate, Compliance, AI Agents, and more. PRO required for non-General profiles.
Paste your industry data
Paste text relevant to your domain — a medical note, a contract, a CSV export, or a SIEM alert log.
Run the scrub
Click Scrub. The engine applies domain-specific detection rules — catching NPI numbers (Medical), IBAN codes (Finance), or Docker secrets (DevOps) that General mode misses.
Switch profiles dynamically
Change the profile mid-session to handle mixed-domain documents. All session tokens persist across profile switches within the same tab.
Frequently Asked Questions
What entity types does the free General PII profile detect?
9 entity types: Full Names (NLP-based), Email addresses (RFC 5321), Phone numbers (E.164 + US local), Credit card numbers (Luhn-validated), Social Security Numbers, IPv4/IPv6 addresses, JWT tokens (3-segment base64), AWS access keys (AKIA prefix), and physical street addresses.
How many industry profiles are available on PRO?
24+ industry detection profiles: Healthcare (PHI/HIPAA — MRNs, NPI numbers, ICD-10 codes), Legal (case numbers, bar IDs), Finance (IBAN, BIC, ISIN, routing numbers), HR (employee IDs, EIN), DevOps (API keys, DB connection strings, bearer tokens), Real Estate (MLS numbers, parcel IDs), Academic (student IDs, FERPA fields), and more.
Can I stack multiple profiles simultaneously?
Yes. Profile stacking lets you combine two or more profiles in a single scan. A healthcare attorney might stack the Healthcare profile (MRNs, ICD codes) with the Legal profile (case numbers, bar IDs). All matched entities across stacked profiles are tokenized in a single pass.
Does switching profiles reset my session token map?
No. Profile selection only affects which detection rules run on new input. The existing sessionMap (tokens already generated) is preserved. You can switch profiles mid-session and re-scrub additional text without losing prior token mappings.
Does the Chrome extension support all 24+ profiles?
Yes. The extension popup's Detection Profile dropdown lists all profiles your PRO subscription activates. The selected profile applies to all scrubbing done in the extension popup on ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and other supported platforms.
Can I create a named custom profile combining built-in and custom rules?
Yes. TEAMS and Enterprise users can define a named profile combining any built-in profile with custom regex rules. This profile can be exported as an encrypted JSON and shared across the team, ensuring consistent detection configuration for every colleague.
