## What you get
|
|
34
23
|
|
|
35
|
-
|
|
24
|
+
- **Personal data never reaches the model.** Emails, phone numbers, IBANs, card numbers, national IDs and 200 more kinds of data are swapped for safe tokens before the LLM call.
|
|
25
|
+
- **The answer still makes sense.** After the model replies, the node puts the real values back, so your output reads naturally.
|
|
26
|
+
- **Fewer false alarms.** Card numbers are Luhn checked, IBANs checksum verified, NHS numbers mod 11 validated, so random digits are left alone.
|
|
27
|
+
- **Proof for your records.** An optional audit report, and a GDPR Article 30 processing record built from each run.
|
|
28
|
+
- **No new vendor.** Everything runs inside your own n8n. No cloud service, no API key, no runtime dependency.
|
|

## From install to first result
|
|
38
31
|
|
|
39
|
-
|
|
32
|
+
1. In n8n open **Settings**, then **Community Nodes**, enter `n8n-nodes-redactor` and install.
|
|
33
|
+
2. Add a **Redactor** node before your OpenAI, Claude or Gemini node and set the operation to **Redact**.
|
|
34
|
+
3. Add a second **Redactor** node after the model and set it to **Restore**.
|
|
35
|
+
4. Run the workflow. Both nodes share the execution ID as Session ID, so a full run works with no extra setup. When testing one node at a time, set the same fixed Session ID, for example `test-1`, on both.
|
|
40
36
|
|
|
41
|
-
|
|
37
|
+
The model receives tokens instead of personal data.
|
|
42
38
|
|
|
43
|
-
Drop it between your data source and your LLM node. It automatically detects and replaces 216 kinds of sensitive data with safe tokens. The LLM processes the clean data. Then the node swaps the original values back in. Your customer data never leaves your server.
|
|
44
|
-
|
|
45
|
-
No cloud service. No API keys. No third-party dependency. Everything runs locally on your machine.

## How it works
|
|
54
|
-
|
|
55
|
-
```
|
|
56
|
-
[Your Data] --> [PII Redactor: REDACT] --> [OpenAI / Claude / Gemini] --> [PII Redactor: RESTORE] --> [Clean Output]
|
|
57
|
-
```
|
|
58
|
-
|
|
59
|
-
**Before the LLM sees it:**
|
|
60
39
|
```json
|
|
61
|
-
{
|
|
62
|
-
"message": "Mrs. Sarah Johnson (sarah@bigcorp.com) reported a billing issue. SSN: 987-65-4321"
|
|
63
|
-
}
|
|
40
|
+
{ "message": "[PERSON_0] ([EMAIL_1]) reported a billing issue. SSN [SSN_2]" }
|
|
64
41
|
```
|
|
65
42
|
|
|
66
|
-
|
|
67
|
-
```json
|
|
68
|
-
{
|
|
69
|
-
"message": "[PERSON_0] ([EMAIL_1]) reported a billing issue. SSN: [SSN_2]"
|
|
70
|
-
}
|
|
71
|
-
```
|
|
43
|
+
After Restore, your workflow gets the real values back.
|
|
72
44
|
|
|
73
|
-
**After the LLM responds, the node restores everything automatically:**
|
|
74
45
|
```json
|
|
75
|
-
{
|
|
76
|
-
"reply": "I've resolved the billing issue for Mrs. Sarah Johnson. A confirmation has been sent to sarah@bigcorp.com."
|
|
77
|
-
}
|
|
78
|
-
```
|
|
79
|
-
|
|
80
|
-
The LLM never saw the real data. Your customer never knew the difference.

## 7 Operations: When to use what
|
|
206
|

|
|
207
|
-
| Operation | When to use it | What it does | Example workflow |
|
|
208
|
-
|-----------|---------------|-------------|-----------------|
|
|
209
|
-
| **Redact** | Before sending data to an LLM, API, or third-party service | Detects and replaces all sensitive data with safe tokens. Stores originals in vault for later restoration. Also includes prompt injection detection. | `[Data Source] > Redact > [OpenAI] > Restore > [Output]` |
|
|
210
|
-
| **Restore** | After the LLM or service has processed the tokenized data | Swaps all tokens back to original values using the vault. Your output has real data again. | Place after your LLM node, before the final output. |
|
|
211
|
-
| **Detect** | Compliance audits, data assessment, before deciding to redact | Scans all data for sensitive information and returns a full report. Does NOT modify the data. Use this to understand what PII exists. | `[Data Source] > Detect > [If PII found] > Redact` |
|
|
212
|
-
| **Verify** | After redaction, to confirm nothing leaked through | Re-scans redacted output to check if any PII slipped past. Returns PASS or FAIL with details of any leaks. Defense-in-depth. | `[Data Source] > Redact > [LLM] > Verify > [Alert if FAIL]` |
|
|
213
|
-
| **Classify** | Data governance, sensitivity labeling, routing decisions | Assigns sensitivity labels (PUBLIC / INTERNAL / CONFIDENTIAL / RESTRICTED) based on what PII categories are found. Includes escalation rules. | `[Data Source] > Classify > [If RESTRICTED] > Block` |
|

| **Purge** | GDPR right to erasure, cleanup, end of workflow | Deletes vault sessions from memory or disk, so no PII mapping is left behind. Supports GDPR Article 17 (right to erasure) requests. | `[End of workflow] > Purge` |
|
|
215
|
-
| **Stats** | Debugging, monitoring, admin | Shows all active vault sessions with entry counts, creation times, TTL, and vault storage type. | Run manually to inspect vault state. |
|
|
216

-
|
|
217

-
**ROPA record (a Redact option, not a separate operation):** turn on *Include Audit Report*, then *Include GDPR Art.30 ROPA Record*, and fill in the controller details. The report output then carries a Records of Processing Activities entry built from this run.

|
-
| **Token** | `[EMAIL_0]` | Yes | LLM workflows (recommended) |
|
|
233
|
-
| **Mask** | `j***@e***.com` | No | Logs, dashboards, support tickets |
|
|
234
|
-
| **Hash** | `[EMAIL:a3f2b8c91d4e]` | No | Analytics, deduplication |
|
|
235
|
-
| **Redact** | `[REDACTED]` | No | Maximum privacy, audit trails |
|
|
236
|
-
| **Pseudonymize** | `sarah.miller@example.com` | Yes | GDPR pseudonymization, demo data, QA environments |
|
|
237
|
-
| **Blackout** | `████████` | No | Visual censoring, document redaction, like a black marker |
|
|
238
|
-
| **Remove** | *(empty string)* | No | Complete deletion, no trace left, total removal |

| Environment | Status |
|

|---|---|
|
|
53
|
+
| Self-hosted n8n 1.x and 2.x | Supported |
|
|
54
|
+
| n8n Cloud | Not available |
|
|
55

|
|
|
244
|
-
|
|
245
|
-
When the same email appears in 5 fields, it gets the same token (`[EMAIL_0]`) everywhere. The LLM understands it's the same person. Relationships in your data are preserved.
|
|
57
|
+
The persistent vault, encrypted vault files and JSONL audit log write to the local disk. n8n Cloud and n8n's verification program do not allow community nodes to use the file system, so this node is self-hosted only by design.
|
|
246
58
|
|
|
247
|
-
|
|
248
|
-
Don't want to scan internal IDs or metadata? Use allowlist or denylist mode:
|
|
249
|
-
- **Allowlist:** Only scan `user.email`, `*.phone`, `contacts[*].name`
|
|
250
|
-
- **Denylist:** Skip `internalId`, `metadata.*`, `debug`

### Audit Report
|
|
259
|
-
Enable the second output to get a full compliance trail:
|
|
260
|
-
```json
|
|
261
|
-
{
|
|
262
|
-
"totalHits": 7,
|
|
263
|
-
"hitsByCategory": { "contact": 3, "identity": 2, "financial": 2 },
|
|
264
|
-
"hitsByPattern": { "EMAIL": 2, "PHONE": 1, "SSN": 1, "CREDIT_CARD": 1, "PERSON": 2 },
|
|
265
|
-
"hits": [...]
|
|
266
|
-
}
|
|
267
73
|
```
|
|
268
|
-
|
|
269
|
-
### Validation - Not Just Regex
|
|
270
|
-
Credit card numbers are **Luhn-checked**. IBANs are **checksum-verified** (ISO 13616). NHS numbers pass **mod-11 validation**. This means fewer false positives and less over-redaction that kills your LLM output quality.

## Installation
|
|
275
|
-
|
|
276
|
-
### From n8n (Recommended)
|
|
277
|
-
1. Go to **Settings > Community Nodes**
|
|
278
|
-
2. Enter `n8n-nodes-redactor`
|
|
279
|
-
3. Click **Install**
|
|
280
|
-
4. Done. The "Redactor" node appears in your node palette.
|
|
281
|
-
|
|
282
|
-
### Manual
|
|
283
|
-
```bash
|
|
284
|
-
cd ~/.n8n/nodes
|
|
285
|
-
npm install n8n-nodes-redactor
|
|
286
|
-
# Restart n8n
|
|
74
|

76
|
|
|
289
|
-
|
|
290
|
-
|
|
291
|
-
## Quick Start (2 minutes)
|
|
292
|
-
|
|
293
|
-
1. **Install** the node
|
|
294
|
-
2. **Add "Redactor"** to your workflow, set operation to **Redact**
|
|
295
|
-
3. **Connect it** before your OpenAI/Claude/Gemini node
|
|
296
|
-
4. **Add another "Redactor"** after the LLM node, set operation to **Restore**
|
|
297
|
-
5. Both nodes share the same Session ID (defaults to the execution ID, so a full run works automatically). Testing one step at a time? Set the same fixed Session ID, for example `test-1`, on both nodes.
|
|
298
|
-
6. **Run your workflow.** Customer data stays on your server.
|
|
299
|
-
|
|
300
|
-
That's it. No configuration needed for the default case.

## Features in detail
|

|
|
108
|
+
| Feature | Detail |
|
|
109
|
+
|---|---|
|
|
110
|
+
| Deduplication | The same value gets the same token everywhere, so the model keeps relationships between fields |
|
|
111
|
+
| Field targeting | Allowlist or denylist paths such as `user.email`, `*.phone` or `metadata.*` |
|
|
112
|
+
| Vault | In memory, or file based in `~/.n8n/pii-vault/` so it survives restarts. Sessions expire after 60 minutes by default |
|
|
113
|
+
| Vault encryption | AES-256-GCM with scrypt key derivation, one passphrase per tenant |
|
|
114
|
+
| Confidence threshold | Each match carries a 0.0 to 1.0 score. Checksum validated patterns score 0.95 |
|
|
115
|
+
| Allow and deny lists | Values to never redact, such as your support address, and values to always redact, such as project codenames |
|
|
116
|
+
| Prompt injection check | 25+ patterns, including instruction overrides, delimiter escapes, encoded payloads and zero width characters. Returns BLOCK, FLAG or CLEAN |
|
|
117
|
+
| Audit report | A second output with hits by category and pattern |
|
|
118
|
+
| Audit log | JSONL with daily rotation and a 100 MB cap, readable by Splunk, ELK and Datadog |
|
|
119
|
+
| ROPA record | Turn on Include Audit Report, then Include GDPR Art.30 ROPA Record, and fill in the controller details |
|
|
120
|
+
| Presidio | Optional Microsoft Presidio container for names and organisations in free text. See [docs/PRESIDIO_SETUP.md](https://github.com/mjmirza/n8n-nodes-redactor/blob/master/docs/PRESIDIO_SETUP.md). Falls back to built-in patterns when unreachable |
|
|
121
|
+
| Per-tenant profiles | Planned for 2.0.0 as JSON settings in the node |
|
|
122
|
+
|
|
123
|
+
This node reduces what reaches a model. It is not legal advice and does not on its own make a workflow GDPR or HIPAA compliant.

127
|
+
| Area | Detail |
|
|
128
|
+
|---|---|
|
|
129
|
+
| Language | TypeScript, strict mode |
|
|
130
|
+
| Runtime dependencies | None. Only `n8n-workflow` as a peer |
|
|
131
|
+
| Tests | Jest, run on every push in CI |
|
|
132
|
+
| Node.js | 24, as pinned in `.nvmrc` and CI. Node 26 has no prebuilt `isolated-vm`, which `n8n-workflow` loads in tests |
|
|
373
133
|
|
|
374
|
-
For users who need NLP-level accuracy in detecting person names, locations, and organizations in free text, the node optionally integrates with Microsoft Presidio (open source, MIT license).
|
|
375
|
-
|
|
376
|
-
**What it adds:** Catches "Sarah Johnson" and "Goldman Sachs" in free text paragraphs that regex alone cannot detect.
|
|
377
|
-
|
|
378
|
-
**Setup (one command):**
|
|
379
134
|
```bash
|
|
380

|
|
135
|

## Missing a use case? We'll build it for you.
|
|
392
|
-
|
|
393
|
-
This node ships 216 built-in patterns. But every business has unique data: internal codes, proprietary identifiers, industry-specific formats.
|
|
394
|
-
|
|
395
|
-
**You can add your own patterns directly in the node UI** using the Custom Patterns section. Define any regex, give it a label, and the engine will detect and redact it alongside the built-in patterns.
|
|
396
|
-
|
|
397
|
-
If there is a specific use case that is not covered here and you want us to cover it so that everyone can benefit from it, or if you want a customized implementation built on top of this node, **reach out to us and we will be happy to enhance it accordingly.**
|
|
142
|
+
Project layout:
|
|
143
|
+
- `nodes/Redactor/` holds the node, the detection engine, patterns, vault and reports
|
|
144
|
+
- `test/` holds the Jest suites
|
|
145
|
+
- `tools/check-tarball.sh` makes sure only the built node ships to npm
|
|
146
|
+
- `.github/workflows/` holds CI and the signed publish workflow
