Custom Sensitive Data Types support the use of data dictionaries, which are lists of terms used to match (or exclude) the content of fields and files for Classification. Any platform user with a platform role that includes the permission to create Custom Sensitive Data Types can create regular expression for Custom Sensitive Data Types.

Prepare Data Dictionary

Your list of terms should be saved as a .CSV or .TXT file, with terms listed in a single column. Do not include a column header label, as this could accidentally become a matched value.
