PII

You can find this module at the Global and Company levels.

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.

Cred Cards: ConnectSecure will detect American Express, MasterCard, Visa, Discover, Atos Private Label, Aura, UnionPay, JCB, Fuel Card, and Cirrus.

ConnectSecure will not detect these cards due to spaces or gaps in some cases: Maestro, Dankort, Eftpos, Hipercard, Vpay, Visa_dankort, UK Fuel Card, Troy, Sodexo, and Cabal.

Bank Account Numbers: The scan looks for terms such as bank, ACC no, IBAN, and other related keywords commonly associated with bank account information.

Layout Settings

Here, you can change the UI look and feel using various options, including the Theme for color, the Scheme for dark and light mode, the Layout for toolbar and module positions, and the toggle to set the table view default.

I prefer the Teal color, Light mode, and Classic layout with an asset table view.
