Things to consider

• The platform comes with many kinds of specialist data detection; for example: national ID numbers, credit cards, and email addresses.

• The Risk dashboard helps you configure special risk categories so that you can reduce your overall risk profile in your data estate.

• Take a look at the fields you can use in your searches.

• If you are aware of a specific identifier that follows a known format and is distinctive within your business, custom rules can help. They enable you to mark and count items in a similar way to the platform’s native handling of credit cards and national id numbers. You need to set up your custom rules before you crawl your data.

• If your database schemas have a specific field that can be used, it is also possible to create a custom field from your database crawls which can then be searched separately in your instance of the platform.
