pentest-agent-redaction

Redact sensitive data from pentest reports and command logs using a multi-pass regex-based pipeline that strips API keys, JWTs, and private keys from security assessment outputs. The pipeline applies deterministic pattern matching to sanitize raw command output, evidence records, and final report text.

Preventing accidental exposure of credentials in security assessment outputs requires mandatory, multi-pass redaction on all evidence and report data. This approach enforces data protection policies by automatically stripping cloud credentials and PII before any information is stored or displayed.

Automated redaction works with raw command output and evidence files through context-aware processing. It applies different levels of sensitivity based on whether the input is raw command output, evidence records, or final report text to ensure compliance with data protection policies.

The verification pipeline ensures no secrets remain in redacted findings through a three-pass verification process. It flags redaction failures for manual review before any data is stored or displayed, preventing the storage or display of unredacted secrets.

You can use automated redaction for compliance with data protection policies during pentests by enforcing mandatory sanitization on all captured tool outputs. This ensures that PII, credentials, and private keys are stripped before appending data to evidence logs.

Regex-based redaction for security assessment outputs relies on deterministic pattern matching, meaning it may not catch non-standard or obfuscated secrets. Failures are flagged for manual review through verification gates before data storage, ensuring unredacted sensitive material is caught.
