DASF-58 — Protect data with filters and masking

Source: official compendium, Databricks AI Mitigation Controls, row 60. Snapshot: 2026-10-22; source revision: DASF v 1.1.

Intent and implementation

Implement filters on sensitive table data using row filters and column masks by harnessing the power of Unity Catalog to secure your data at a granular level. Row filters allow you to apply a filter to a table so that queries return only rows that meet the filter criteria. Column masks let you apply a masking function to a table column.
