Quick reference: Managed data identifiers by type
In Amazon Macie, a managed data identifier is a set of built-in criteria and techniques that are designed to detect a specific type of sensitive data—for example, credit card numbers, AWS secret access keys, or passport numbers for a particular country or region. These identifiers can detect a large and growing list of sensitive data types for many countries and regions, including multiple types of credentials data, financial information, personal health information (PHI), and personally identifiable information (PII).
The following table lists all the managed data identifiers that Macie currently provides, organized by sensitive data type. For each type, it provides the following information:
-
Sensitive data category – Specifies the general category of sensitive data that includes the type: Credentials, for credentials data such as private keys; Financial information, for financial data such as credit card numbers and bank account numbers; Personal information: PHI for personal health information such as health insurance and medical identification numbers; and, Personal information: PII for personally identifiable information such as driver's license identification numbers and passport numbers.
-
Managed data identifier ID – Specifies the unique identifier (ID) for one or more managed data identifiers that are designed to detect the data. When you create a sensitive data discovery job or configure settings for automated sensitive data discovery, you can use these IDs to specify which managed data identifiers you want Macie to use when it analyzes data. For a list of managed data identifiers that we recommend for jobs, see Managed data identifiers recommended for sensitive data discovery jobs. For a list of managed data identifiers that we recommend for automated sensitive data discovery, see Default settings for automated sensitive data discovery.
-
Keyword required – Specifies whether detection requires a keyword to be in proximity of the data. For information about how Macie uses keywords when it analyzes data, see Keyword requirements.
-
Countries and regions – Specifies which countries or regions the applicable managed data identifiers are designed for. If the managed data identifiers aren't designed for particular countries or regions, this value is Any.
