Glyph DLP
Glyph DLP: API for Sensitive Data Scanning & Redaction
Glyph DLP is a developer-friendly API that scans and redacts sensitive information from documents, helping businesses prevent data leaks and stay compliant.
Overview
Glyph DLP is a data loss prevention API built for developers and security teams who need a fast, reliable way to detect and redact sensitive information hidden inside everyday documents. By sending a Base64-encoded file through Glyph's secure REST API, teams can automatically scan for or strip out high-risk data like credit card numbers, social security numbers, bank account details, dates of birth, and email addresses before that information ever puts the organization at risk.
Designed to slot easily into existing workflows, Glyph DLP supports a wide range of common file formats including plain text, Word documents, Excel spreadsheets, CSVs, PDFs, and JSON files. Whether you're building compliance checks into an onboarding pipeline, cleaning up customer support tickets before archiving, or auditing internal documents for accidental data exposure, Glyph gives you programmatic control over sensitive data without requiring manual review.
For compliance officers and data security professionals, Glyph DLP offers a straightforward way to enforce standards like PCI compliance and privacy protection rules at scale, while software developers benefit from a simple, secure API that integrates in just a few lines of code.
