Managed data identifiers for personal health information (PHI)
Amazon Macie can detect multiple types of sensitive, personal health information (PHI) by using managed data identifiers. The topics on this page specify each type and provide information about the managed data identifier that's designed to detect the data. Each topic provides the following information:
-
Managed data identifier ID – Specifies the unique identifier (ID) for the managed data identifier that's designed to detect the data. When you create a sensitive data discovery job or configure automated sensitive data discovery settings, you can use this ID to specify whether you want Macie to use the managed data identifier when it analyzes data.
-
Supported countries and regions – Indicates which countries or regions the applicable managed data identifier is designed for. If the managed data identifier isn't designed for a particular country or region, this value is Any.
-
Keyword required – Specifies whether detection requires a keyword to be in proximity of the data. If a keyword is required, the topic also provides examples of required keywords. For information about how Macie uses keywords when it analyzes data, see Keyword requirements.
-
Comments – Provides any relevant details that might affect your choice of managed data identifier or your investigation into reported occurrences of the sensitive data. The details include information such as supported standards, syntax requirements, and exceptions.
The topics are listed in alphabetical order by sensitive data type.
