Defining the sensitive data

Configuring data loss prevention : Defining the sensitive data

Sensitive data can be any of the following types:

• User-defined: specify what information should be checked, such as a word, a phrase, or a regular expression.

• Predefined: for your convenience, FortiMail comes with a list of predefined information types, such as credit card numbers and SIN numbers. To view the predefined sensitive data, go to Data Loss Prevention > Sensitive Data > Standard Compliance.

• Document fingerprints: see “DLP document fingerprinting”.

• File filters: these are the same file filters you use in the content profiles. See “Configuring file filters”.
