Data container interrogation and complex personal identifiable information rule matching data analysis system and methods for the identification of personal identifiable information in a data container

摘要

A system and methods for identifying personal identifiable information in a data container are disclosed. The system and methods interrogate data at its most fundamental level, thereby allowing complex rule matching to occur. This can be coupled with a data in transit analysis mechanism, or be integrated into a data store search mechanism, to ensure maximum awareness of any potential issues with the security of the qualified data elements.
