PII Crawler scans data for Personally Identifiable Information like name, address, and social security number so you can properly secure it before it is leaked.
Unencrypted PII is a huge liability. If breached or leaked it can result in thousands to millions of dollars in legal fees and credit monitoring. It can also damage the reputation of your business. New legal regulations like GDPR (General Data Protection) and CCPA (California Consumer Privacy Act) specify how PII should be handled. To remain compliant you need to know where PII is within your business and how it is secured.
Did you have an incident and accidentally leak PII?
With data protection regulations you may need to report the incident. Reporting requirements vary by state. You will need to find all of the PII that was leaked along with the state or country for each individual for reporting compliance. Doing this manually is incredibly time consuming and error prone as PII can often be hidden.
The only way to know if you are not storing PII or other sensitive data is to always be looking for it. Would you know if one of your employees accidentally puts a big spreadsheet or CSV file on a public drive share or leaves it on their laptop? It is not always obvious either.
Let me give you an example:
It is really easy to create a graph in a PowerPoint presentation from spreadsheet data that gets embedded into the slide without noticing it. This is the default behavior when creating graphs and charts from linked data in spreadsheets. You could accidentally be sharing huge swaths of PII along with your presentations without realizing it.
Obviously looking through thousands of files manually is not very effective. It's a huge waste of time. You need an automated way so it can be done constantly.
You need a continuous PII scanner scanning all data in your company to know where PII is.
PII Crawler is a fast PII scanner that can read text from images embedded in PDFs, word documents, Excel spreadsheets, CSV files, databases and more. It will find SSNs, addresses, customer names, and email addresses. And, we are constantly adding new PII types to PII Crawler. It uses state of the art technology like NER/FSM and AI techniques to find PII and avoid false positives.
You can rest easy knowing PII Crawler can be run locally and air-gapped so you don't need to worry about PII being sent from your network. By default it doesn't store any PII it finds either. It will simply collect metadata on files and report the results. The last thing you want to do is propagate PII by storing PII found in other files like competing tools.
PII Crawler is a one-time payment.
Other PII tools charge thousands of dollars per month. For just a fraction of the cost of a single data breach you get the peace of mind to know your customer’s data is stored securely.

For database scanning a network connection is made to the database being scanned. Data from the database is sampled and scanned in memory on the machine running PII Crawler. Data from the database is never written to disk during the scan. For more information see the security section of our documentation.
