Abstract

Generally discussed herein are devices, systems, and methods for scan surface reduction in sensitive information scanning. A method can include receiving a document, determining, by an evidence checker, a keyword that indicates sensitive information of a sensitive information type, is present in the document, responsive to determining the keyword is present, determining, by a sensitive information scanner and based on a regular expression associated with the sensitive information type, that sensitive information is present in the document, and performing a sensitive information mitigation operation to mitigate the sensitive information.
