Detailed reference: Amazon Macie managed data identifiers
In Amazon Macie, managed data identifiers are built-in criteria and techniques that are designed to detect specific types of sensitive data. They can detect a large and growing list of sensitive data types for many countries and regions, including multiple types of credentials data, financial information, and personal information. Each managed data identifier is designed to detect a specific type of sensitive data—for example, AWS secret access keys, credit card numbers, or passport numbers for a particular country or region.
Macie can detect several categories of sensitive data by using managed data identifiers. Within each category, Macie can detect multiple types of sensitive data. The topics in this section list and describe each type and any relevant requirements for detecting the data. For details about the managed data identifiers for specific types of sensitive data, you can browse the topics by category:
-
Credentials – For credentials data such as private keys and AWS secret access keys.
-
Financial information – For financial data such as credit card numbers and bank account numbers.
-
Personal information: PHI – For personal health information (PHI) such as health insurance and medical identification numbers.
-
Personal information: PII – For personally identifiable information (PII) such as driver's license identification numbers and passport numbers.
Or you can choose a specific type of sensitive data from the following table. The table lists all the managed data identifiers that Macie currently provides, organized by sensitive data type. The table also summarizes relevant requirements for detecting each type.
