DATA OPS

Confirmed production PII leak PagerDuty escalation

When a scan confirms unmasked PII in a production-tagged Snowflake table, it quarantines the table, pages the on-call data engineer via PagerDuty, and opens a Linear incident.

What it does

This template is the high-severity path: it only acts on columns in tables tagged as production. It samples and classifies them, and when it confirms unmasked PII it immediately quarantines the table in Snowflake, triggers a PagerDuty incident to page the on-call data engineer, and opens a linked Linear incident capturing the table, columns, and matched categories for the postmortem.

When to use it

Use it when a live PII leak in a production dataset is a page-someone-now event, not a ticket to triage next sprint, and you want detection wired directly into your incident response.

How it works

  1. 1A schedule triggers the production-scoped scan.
  2. 2Query Snowflake for new columns in production-tagged tables and sample them.
  3. 3Classify samples and branch only on confirmed unmasked PII.
  4. 4Revoke SELECT to quarantine the production table.
  5. 5Trigger a PagerDuty incident to page the on-call data engineer.
  6. 6Open a linked Linear incident with full evidence for the postmortem.

Set it up

What you configure once, before turning it on.

  1. 1
    Connect SnowflakeWarehouses, queries, shares.
  2. 2
    Connect PagerDutyIncidents, on-call, escalations.
  3. 3
    Connect LinearIssues, projects, cycles, triage.
  4. 4
    Set each agent's modelWe leave models unset so you pick the tier — fast + cheap, or top-quality.
  5. 5
    Tune it to your dataEdit the prompts, filters, and field mappings so it matches how your team works.
  6. 6
    Test, then turn it onRun once against a sample, confirm the output, then enable the trigger.
