When NOT to use presidio
Constraint-first guidance from category fit and live maintenance signals - not marketing copy.
- Avoid using Presidio if your project strictly requires manual data anonymization processes as it mainly supports automated detection.
- Presidio's automated mechanisms may not catch all sensitive information, so you should not solely rely on it when a near-perfect accuracy rate in PII identification is crucial.
