How to classify and redact sensitive data

This item-level security and data-governance quickstart uses the product now named Sensitive Data Protection; despite the title, the shown path inspects text for findings and does not demonstrate redaction. [00:00:01]-[00:02:06]

Key Points Covered

• The setup enables the API, grants a service account the Cloud DLP User role, and configures local application credentials. [00:00:01]-[00:02:06]
• The Node.js path clones sample code, installs the client library, and supplies a project ID through an environment variable. [00:01:03]-[00:02:06]
• Running inspectString.js identifies a name and email address as potentially sensitive findings. [00:02:06]

Treat the downloaded key and 2021 Cloud DLP procedure as historical teaching shortcuts, not modern defaults or a complete security program; use current live Sensitive Data Protection documentation for procedures, credentials, and governance.
