Unstructured Data Poses Risks in Snowflake

While Snowflake excels with structured data, its Data Classification and Dynamic Data Masking (DDM) features struggle to protect sensitive information in unstructured data like comments or descriptions, creating significant risks for businesses. Here’s why,

  • Masks the entire columns, making the data unusable for analysis or AI
  • Data Identification based on regex misses sensitive data hidden in text
  • Breaks data integrity by giving inconsistent masked value


Without proper protection for unstructured data, Snowflake exposes businesses to compliance and privacy risks.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

How does Protecto handle unstructured data differently from Snowflake's built-in tools?

Protecto excels in handling unstructured data, unlike Snowflake’s built-in tools which primarily focus on structured data. Snowflake’s Dynamic Data Masking (DDM) often masks entire columns, making the data less useful. Protecto uses AI-powered scanning to identify and mask only the sensitive parts within unstructured data, like names or credit card details in free-form text, while keeping the rest of the data intact for analysis.

Yes, you can easily integrate Protecto with your existing Snowflake setup. Protecto provides a straightforward API and a User Defined Function (UDF) that allows you to incorporate its data masking capabilities seamlessly. With just a few lines of code, you can protect both structured and unstructured data within your Snowflake environment without requiring major changes to your existing infrastructure.

This makes it simple to secure sensitive data while continuing to leverage Snowflake’s powerful analytics and AI tools, ensuring that your data remains both secure and usable.

Yes, Protecto is designed to help you stay compliant with major data privacy regulations like GDPR, HIPAA, CCPA and more. Our selective masking and role-based access control ensure that only authorized users can access sensitive information, helping you maintain strict privacy and security standards.

Protecto can detect and mask a wide range of sensitive data, including but not limited to: names, phone numbers, email addresses, credit card numbers, Social Security Numbers (SSNs), and health-related data (PHI). Protecto can also scan and protect any patterns or IP data within an organization too. Our AI-powered scanning identifies sensitive data across structured and unstructured formats. 

Protecto’s role-based access control allows you to assign different permission levels to users. Only users with the appropriate authorization can unmask sensitive data, while others will see masked data. This ensures that sensitive PII (Personally Identifiable Information) and PHI (Protected Health Information) are accessible only to those who need it, helping you enforce data privacy policies.
