Find sensitive information in files

GDPR Compliance tool for unstructured data

Here you can find sets of auto-tagging rules and tags, that you can use to data-mine information by scraping your drives and matching the content of your files to patterns (based on regular expressions). Use this as a GDPR compliance tool for your unstructured data (files and documents). The auto-tagging rules can be used to tag files on local drives, shared-drives or Cloud folders (Dropbox, OneDrive or similar). Read more about this feature on our blog post.

1) IMPORT THE AUTO-TAGGING RULES

The files listed here can be imported in your Confidential database from the menu File > Confidential databases’ > Import data from XML zipped (there is no undo, so make sure you know what you are importing! 🙂 )

You can of course create your own rules and edit or delete the existing ones. If you import the file twice, the rules and tags will not be duplicated (unless you have renamed them).

SETS OF AUTO-TAGGING RULES

Sensitive Info #1

(Updated 16.05.18) This is a first attempt to put together a list of auto-tagging rules to scrape and auto-tag. Most of the regex where found on  RegExLib. This list contains rules to match:

  • Name of all the danish cities with more than 2500 inhabitants (around 1000 cities) [FIXED, this caused to trigger any character]
  • Credit card numbers from the major credit card companies (Visa, Mastercard, Amex…)
  • Danish CPR number (check on wikipedia)
  • Email addresses (RFC 5322 Official Standard)
  •  Italian Codice Fiscale (check on wikipedia)
  • USA Social security codes (this regex gives a lot of false positives, but since the pattern is so simple, it’s to be expected)

UK Passport, National Insurance Number and Postcodes

(Updated 20.06.18) Upon a user request we put together a database of UK Documents :

  • UK Passport based on this regex
  • UK National Insurance number based on this regex [Updated: less permissive regex, less false positives]
  • UK Postcodes

Japanese town name

This database contains only one rule that searches for Japanese cities. The rule is triggered whether the city is written in Latin characters (e.g. Nanporo) or in Japanese (e.g. 南幌町). The principle is shown in this video (although the regex has been updated since the video).
