    receiving, at a cloud compute service, a notification that a sensitive file comprising sensitive data has been received at a file receipt location, the sensitive file being sent by a client device;

    generating, by the cloud compute service, a container instance in response to the notification;

    retrieving, by the container instance, the sensitive file from the file receipt location;

    generating, by the container instance, a stripped file by stripping the sensitive data from the sensitive file based on a configuration file;

    transmitting, by the container instance, the stripped file to a storage location;

    deleting the sensitive file and associated file pointers from the file receipt location; and

    terminating the container instance, wherein terminating the container instance comprises deleting files comprising sensitive data and associated file pointers.
