FAQ
1. What is the purpose of scanning AWS files for PII?
The goal is to automatically detect and extract sensitive PII data from AWS file storage, reducing manual review and ensuring compliance.
2. How does the AI identify PII in AWS files?
AI scans documents for names, emails, phone numbers, IDs, financial data, and other sensitive information using advanced pattern recognition and NLP.
3. Can the system handle large volumes of AWS files?
Yes. The workflow can process large batches of AWS files efficiently, ensuring fast and consistent PII detection at scale.
4. What happens if PII cannot be classified automatically?
Unclear or unverified PII entries are flagged for manual review, preventing errors and ensuring data accuracy.
