Documents redirected to the failure store in the event of a failed ingest pipeline will be stored in their original, unprocessed form. If an ingest pipeline normally redacts sensitive information from a document, then failed documents in their original, unprocessed form may contain sensitive information.

Furthermore, failed documents are likely to be structured differently than normal data in a data stream, and thus are not supported by [document level security](../../../deploy-manage/users-roles/cluster-or-deployment-auth/controlling-access-at-document-field-level.md#document-level-security) or [field level security](../../../deploy-manage/users-roles/cluster-or-deployment-auth/controlling-access-at-document-field-level.md#field-level-security).

Furthermore, failed documents are likely to be structured differently than normal data in a data stream, and thus special care should be taken when making use of [document level security](../../../deploy-manage/users-roles/cluster-or-deployment-auth/controlling-access-at-document-field-level.md#document-level-security) or [field level security](../../../deploy-manage/users-roles/cluster-or-deployment-auth/controlling-access-at-document-field-level.md#field-level-security). Any security policies that expect to utilize these features for both regular documents and failure documents should account for any differences in document structure between the two document types.

To limit visibility on potentially sensitive data, users require the [`read_failure_store`](../../../deploy-manage/users-roles/cluster-or-deployment-auth/elasticsearch-privileges.md#privileges-list-indices) index privilege for a data stream in order to search that data stream's failure store data.
