https://youtu.be/2IeV-Dit858What is PII Scanning? 🤔
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.
Personally identifiable information (PII) includes sensitive information such as full name, social security number, bank account number, and email address.
The PII Scan view is built into two main views: Scan Profile and Scan Results.

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.
Driver's License: The scan searches for terms like DL, driver, and license.
