Contains PII data

post

/api/pvlt/1.0/data/analysis/contains

Checks if text strings contain PII and classifies the findings.

If you need to obtain details about the location of PII in your strings, use the locate operation.

See the Find PII guide for more information on using this operation.

The role performing this operation must have the CapAnalysisDetect capability.

See identity and access management for more information about how capabilities are used to control access to operations and policies are used to control access to data.

note

This operation uses AI to detect PII. As such, it's possible for PII to be missed or for non-PII text to be classified as PII.

info

This feature is enabled on Vault SaaS only. If you're interested in running it with a self-hosted deployment, please contact us.
