PII → Data Classification

AI-generated

Summary

Classify and analyze Personally Identifiable Information (PII) data within an organization based on specified classification levels, optionally include data lineage details, and group results by classification level for easier analysis.

Inputs

  • Classification Levels — Select one or more classification levels (Public, Internal, Confidential, Restricted) to filter and categorize PII data in the search.
  • Include Data Lineage — Boolean option to include data lineage and source tracking information in the classification results.
  • Group By Classification — Boolean option to group the returned PII items by their classification level for arranged analysis.

Output shape

A list of PII data items, each annotated with classificationLevel, classificationScore, and, if enabled, dataLineage information. If grouping is enabled, returns a list grouped by classification level, each group containing the classificationLevel, count, and the list of items.

The operation limits results to 100 items by default but can be adjusted by modifying the node's limit parameter. Classification levels determine which PII types are included (e.g., 'restricted' includes SSN, credit card, password, biometric). Data lineage, if included, provides metadata about data source and processing. Grouping organizes results into summary buckets by classification level.

Examples

Example 1: Classify PII data including restricted and confidential levels with lineage

Select 'confidential' and 'restricted' classification levels; enable 'Include Data Lineage'; keep grouping enabled; set limit as needed.

Example 2: Get all PII items classified as internal or public, without lineage, grouped by classification

Select 'internal' and 'public' classification levels; disable 'Include Data Lineage'; enable grouping.
