Compliance to regulations and standards such as Personal Identifiable Information (PII), the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI), Protected Health Information (PHI), and the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), require that organizations protect customer and consumer private information.
To protect the individual, as well as the organization, you first need to be able to identify the files containing personal and sensitive information. These files might include national identification numbers, credit card numbers, insurance numbers, and more.
File Reporter provides the ability to scan file content with user-defined or custom pattern matching. Furthermore, it can automatically classify this content when it is located. For example, located U.S. Social Security numbers might be given a stronger classification than a telephone number.
These files, along with their locations are then specified in a report where you can take actions such as moving the files to more secure locations or deleting the files altogether.
