How to prevent
Sensitive Data Exposure

To prevent sensitive data exposure do this:

The best way to prevent the exposure of sensitive data is to monitor the response payload of your web application or APIs. Setup the detection of anomalies in payload sizes and declare a list of attributes and values that should never be part of any response leaving your servers.

A list of sensitive attributes could look like this:

"password", "cc_number", "email", "ssn", "cvc"

Use regex rules to ensure no response payload includes content that looks like a Social Security numbers:

\d{3}-\d{2}-\d{4}

Requests can be blocked from leaving your server if any of these rules are violated.

This combination of monitoring response payloads constitutes an encompassing protection of sensitive data and assists you in treating your customer’s data in accordance with GDPR and other compliance initiative.
