Mithril: PII detection & masking
4 min read · Updated June 2026
We named the security layer Mithril on purpose: rare, light, and very hard to get through. Its job is to find sensitive data the instant it enters and protect it.
How Mithril works
- Detects PII on connect. The moment a platform connects, Mithril identifies sensitive data.
- 22 masking techniques behind it, matched to the kind of data found.
- Shadow mode first. It rolls out in shadow mode so you review every decision before anything enforces.
You stay in control. Shadow mode means Mithril never silently changes how your data is handled — you see what it would do and approve it before enforcement.
