Abstract
This disclosure relates to method and system for identifying Personally Identifiable Information (PII) through secret patterns. The method includes receiving user data from at least one data source through a plurality of communication channels. The user data includes PII and non-PII. The user data is associated with a user. The PII includes a plurality of personal identifiers. The method further includes identifying the PII in user data through a predictive model. The method further includes generating a secret pattern based on the PII identified through the predictive model. The secret pattern is an identifiable label. The method further includes adding the secret pattern to each of the plurality of personal identifiers in PII. The method further includes identifying each of the plurality of personal identifiers through the secret pattern in real-time, when user data is transmitted from the at least one data source to at least one data destination.
