Detect sensitive information
The main feature of the Proactive DLP engine is to detect and block sensitive data in files, including credit card numbers and social security numbers. The engine supports a wide range of file types, including Microsoft Office documents and PDF.
Sensitive Data
| Financial Information | 1) Credit Card Number (CCN) 2) ABA Routing Number 3) U.S. Bank Account 4) International Banking Account Number (IBAN) 5) International Securities Identification Number (ISIN) 6) SWIFT Code |
| Personal identity information | 1) Japanese Personal My Number 2) U.S. Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN) 3) U.S. Social Security Number (SSN) 4) Turkish Identification Number (Kimlik No.) 5) Israeli National ID Number 6) Indian Aadhaar Number 7) Australian Tax File Number (TFN) 8) Indian Permanent Account Number (PAN) 9) Turkish Passport Number 10) Turkish Phone Number |
| Network and device information | 1) IPv4 address or subnet mask Classless 2) Inter-Domain Routing (CIDR) 3) International Mobile Equipment Identity (IMEI/IMEISV) |
| Corporation information | 1) Australian Company Number (ACN) 2)Australian Business Number (ABN) |
| Drug and health information | 1) Australian Medicare Number 2) U.K. National Health Service Number (NHS) 3) ICD-10 Code 4) ICD-9 Code |
| Sensitive information (Detect with AI) | 1) Driver's License Number 2) National ID Number 3) Passport Number 4) Date of Birth 5) Social Security Number 6) Personal Name 7) Phone Number 8) Birth Certificate Number 9) UK Tax Identification Number 10) UK Electoral Roll Number 11) UK National Insurance Number 12) Common Medical Condition 13) U.K. National Health Service Number (NHS) 14) U.S. National Drug Code (NDC) 15) Blood Type 16) Vehicle Identification Number 17) Credit Card Number |
Additionally, any specific data pattern can be detected using custom regular expressions
Defining so simple regexes is not the recommended way to use this engine, For example: \d , \w. _Because most documents contain many numbers, so the complexity and time needed to scan are going to be increased a lot when you define something so simple. Turning redaction on with this regex would cause even worse performance.
Certainty score
Certainty score is defined by the relevance of the given hit in its context . It is calculated based on multiple factors such as the number of digits, Bank Identification Number (BIN) lookup, context ...
