Smarter Apache Superset PII Data Handling with Tokenisation and Detokenisation
· One min read
To make sensitive data handling both secure and user-friendly within Superset, Millersoft introduced a new Detokenisation feature. This is available in both SQL Lab and the charting interface, which allows users to view tokenised data in a more readable format.
When enabled, this feature manipulates the returned dataframe to replace tokens (marked with a prefix like t:) with their plaintext values, which makes data exploration and analysis more intuitive for users who have permission.
This new feature balances data security with ease of analysis, ensuring that tokenised values can be revealed only when needed. These PII values are only visible for authorised users.
