Re:Ask HN: How do you protect sensitive data? by usgroup on Monday April 22, 2019 @05:22AM (#19717545)
PII is radioactive. So:

1. Avoid it.

2. Delete it if you don’t need it anymore.

3. Keep it as coarse as your usage for it.

4. If it’s logs then pseudonomise and randomise.

5. If it’s sensitive content then Encrypt it per client and don’t have access to it.

Basically just think about what a thief would have if they stole your database , and make sure you’re happy with the consequences .
