Identity data loss continues to increase year after year and additional regulations are being introduced to protect people from theft and fraud. |

Personally Identifiable Information (PII) is data that uniquely identifies a single person. The breach of this data results in identity theft, customer attrition, negative financial impact, possible litigation, brand damage, and potential regulatory violations.
Common elements of personally identifiable information include:
- Social Security numbers
- Credit cards numbers
- Birth data
- Account records and numbers
- Background and location information
- Other personal information
The format of this data can be structured, making it somewhat straightforward to detect. However, understanding the business context for PII is much more difficult. With many possible points of exposure, PII is still one of the most important pieces of information in the organization that requires the highest levels of protection, yet is the information that is most often leaked or stolen.
Orchestria offers unparalleled PII detection and protection accuracy with a complete set of pre-built policies. Examples of PII that Orchestria can protect include:
- Finding where Social Security numbers are stored and unprotected
- Blocking credit card numbers from being transmitted over e-mail
- Scanning for documents with private customer information
- Monitoring for data related to identity theft
- Encrypting messages containing account number data
