Feature
PII Detection & Redaction
A 5-layer detection pipeline that scans and redacts 50+ types of personally identifiable information across 13 countries and 3 industries — before it reaches your AI models. From regex patterns to cross-cultural name detection, Tork catches what others miss.
Detection Pipeline
Every input passes through a 5-layer pipeline. Each layer adds precision — from fast regex to dictionary-backed name detection. Layers are composable: enable regional profiles and industry patterns without changing your code.
29 compiled patterns for universal PII: SSN, credit cards, emails, phones, IP addresses, and more. Sub-microsecond per pattern with quick-check signal gating.
Country-specific patterns activated by region parameter. Emirates ID, Aadhaar, TFN, NHS numbers, CPF — each with locale-aware formatting rules.
Cross-cultural name detection using 8 grammatical slots: Title, Given, Middle, Patronymic, Matronymic, Family, Generational, Honorific. Catches names regex can't.
Reduces false positives by analyzing surrounding context. '10 Main Street' is an address, '10 main reasons' is not. Signal words and proximity scoring.
13,000+ first names and 8,000+ last names from 40+ cultures. Weighted by frequency to minimize false positives on common words that are also names.
Regional PII Profiles
Activate country-specific and industry-specific detection patterns with a single parameter. Regions and industries are composable — combine them in one API call.

}'Cross-Cultural Name Detection
Traditional regex-based detection fails for non-Western names. Patterns designed for "John Smith" miss names from African, Arabic, Indian, East Asian, and compound name cultures.
Tork's L1 Slot Detection uses 8 grammatical slots and a 13,000+ name dictionary spanning 40+ cultures. Context signals like "Patient:" boost confidence scoring.

Simple Integration
Python — with regional profiles
from tork_governance import TorkGovernance
tork = TorkGovernance(api_key="tork_live_xxx")
# Basic scan — 29 universal PII patterns
result = tork.govern("Contact john@example.com or call 555-123-4567")
print(result.output)
# "Contact [EMAIL] or call [PHONE]"
# Regional scan — activate UAE + India patterns
result = tork.govern(
"Emirates ID: 784-1234-1234567-1, Aadhaar: 1234 5678 9012",
region=["ae", "in"]
)
# Regional + industry — healthcare PII patterns
result = tork.govern(
"Patient Aadhaar: 1234 5678 9012, ICD-10: J45.20",
region=["in"],

)
# Receipt for audit trail
print(result.receipt.id) # "rcpt_a3f2c1..."
print(result.receipt.input_hash) # "sha256:..."
