PII scanning, or Personally Identifiable Information scanning, refers to systematically searching for and identifying sensitive information that can be used to identify individuals personally.

PII includes any data linked to a specific person, making it sensitive and subject to privacy and security regulations.

Examples include sensitive information such as full name, social security number, bank account number, and email address.
