Using Data Rulesets to Find Sensitive Data

Rulesets are groups of regular expressions (regexs) that define a search pattern. Using regexs, we look for patterns of alpha-numeric strings with common keywords to identify data and, specifically, Personally Identifiable Information (PII).

In Risk Intelligence we provide a number of default, predefined Rulesets which you can view and modify in Step 3 - Data Rulesets, when creating or editing a Data Breach Risk or Data Discovery scan configuration. The Rulesets listed are applied when using this scan configuration.

In this step you can perform the following tasks:

• Customize Predefined Ruleset - Customize one of the system's predefined Rulesets.
• Reset all Predefined Rulesets to Default - This option resets the predefined Rulesets back to the defaults originally displayed in Step 3 of creating a custom scan configuration (see Create Custom Scan Configuration) and removes any customizations made.
• Create New Custom Ruleset
• Edit Custom Ruleset
• Remove Ruleset - This option removes the Ruleset from the table.
