Claim 14:
15. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium including instructions that, when executed by a processing device, cause the processing device to:
receive a masking policy for a column of a database, the masking policy identifying a first category of sensitive data and a second category of sensitive data;
examine the column to identify sensitive data in a first location of the column and a second location of the column, wherein the first location and the second location are within a same row of the column; and
in response to a data query accessing the column, the first location of the column exceeding a threshold probability of comprising sensitive data, execute, by the processing device, to generate redacted data for a response to the data query:
a first redaction operation to redact the first category of sensitive data from the first location of the column; and
a second redaction operation to redact the second category of sensitive data from the second location of the column.
