Abstract
Techniques are discussed for preparing and executing scanning plans for particular types of information, including personally identifiable information. A user indicates one or more datastores to be scanned for the particular type of information. A scanner determines scan objectives for the scanning plan and classifiers for use in scans conducted according to the scanning plan. The scanner estimates scan performance metrics and scan quality metrics. The scanner presents estimated results for the scanning plan based on the selected classifiers, scan objectives, estimate scan performance metrics, and estimated scan quality metrics. The user can modify the set of scan objectives or select between alternative sets of scan objectives. The scanning plan may be performed iteratively and the results of previous scan may be used to adjust classifiers or scan objectives to be used in subsequent scans.
