That ecosystem exists. There are SW tools, both on-prem and (less interestingly) cloud/SaaS, that sit in the middle and look for personal and sensitive data. You plug into their API, and then get to decide what to do when such information is detected: ignore, quarantine, redact, alert…

(Disclaimer: I built one such tool, https://pii-tools.com)
