Usage

Getting Started

After you've downloaded PII Crawler and installed PII Crawler click PII Crawler to start the PII Crawler web interface. This will start an HTTP server runing at http://localhost:3001. You can navigate here from your browser or click open from the PII Crawler tray icon.

From here:

• Click Create New Scan.
• Choose a starting directory
• Click Create Scan

This will start scanning all files contained within the starting directory. It may take awhile for the scan to finish but you can start reviewing any results immediately as they come in.

Scan options

When creating a new PII scan you have some scan options you can set.

• File type filter - choose particular file types you want to include in your scan if you don't wan to scan everything
• PII types - choose to scan only particular PII types you are interested in
• Terms list - If you have a list of exact match terms you want to search for
• Custom regex - add custom regex patterns to fit your PII data
• Proximity regex groups - add a group of regex patterns to found within a certain distance to search for data that should be found together
