    Using Regular Expressions in Custom Sensitive Data Types

    If you have any Custom Sensitive Data Types that you want to create based on a specific pattern (such as another country’s driver’s license), you can use the regular expression feature to scan your data store. Any platform user with a platform role that includes the permission to create Custom Sensitive Data Types can create regular expression Custom Sensitive Data Types.

    1. Navigate to Classification > Sensitive Data Types
    2. Either:
      1. Click the Create Sensitive Data Type button to add a new Sensitive Data Type
      2. Click the Edit (pencil) icon on any table row to edit an existing Custom Sensitive Data Type
    3. Select relevant Data Type Category, or create a new one.
    4. Optionally, add a description and any relevant data tags.
    5. Under Match Conditions, you can apply specific conditions for matching keywords and/or content to dictate the classification of this sensitive data type. Adding these improve the accuracy of detecting sensitive data.
