What it does

Finds personally identifiable information in a block of text and reports each occurrence

Accepts a block of text and returns every instance of personally identifiable information present: names, email addresses, phone numbers, SSNs, physical addresses, and other configurable types. Each hit carries its type, the matched span, and its position in the input. The type list is configurable per deployment.

When you’d reach for it

  • Scanning inbound support messages for PII before they get logged to a data warehouse.
  • Checking submitted HR documents for social security numbers or personal contact details ahead of a third-party background check.
  • Reviewing technician job notes for accidentally captured customer financial details before they sync to an external reporting tool.
