Database cleaning software

Hi everybody,

I have been given a task to find the names of some products that can clean up databases by removing confidential information. The situation is that a client imports data from public sources (government websites, etc.) but that this data sometimes includes things like Social Security Numbers or other confidential data that must not be kept in the database for privacy reasons.

I've checked google, CNet reviews, and Oracle's website looking for suggestions but haven't turned up too much. Does anybody here work with or know of such software packages that can be used to clean up your database to prevent privacy compliance issues?

Thanks,
Ralph
