Sensitive Object Detector

Sensitive Object Detector

The Sensitive Object Detector is a built-in entity type. It is trained to identify and classify images of sensitive data, such as identification cards, fingerprints, and license plates. You can upload individual documents to the classifier, and it will identify any images of sensitive information. If an image contains multiple sensitive objects, all items will be identified. For example, if the document contains an image of a driver’s license, the scan will identify both the ID card and signature as detected sensitive objects. You can also include this entity type in the policies you create to identify documents by file name.


Only the following image types will be scanned:

  • BM

  • BMP

  • GIF

  • ICB

  • JFIF

  • JPEG

  • JPG

  • PBM

  • PDF

  • PNG

  • TGA

  • TIFF (See note below.)

  • VDA

  • VST

  • WEBP

 

 

A TIFF is a complex image file composed of multiple parts; therefore, not all TIFF files can be successfully scanned. If a TIFF file is found but can't be scanned, an error will be logged explaining why.
