Description

A US_PASSPORT is a very important PII type. The passport number associated with a US Passport can be used to uniquely identify an individual and it can be used for identity theft or fraud. For more information, see here.

Detective Steps

The current U.S. passport number is 9 digits long. Passport numbers for other countries vary in length and format, usually containing 6-9 alphanumeric characters.

To detect passport PII you can: Content Inspection: Implement DLP tools to scan for patterns matching passport numbers in emails, documents, and file transfers. Monitor database queries for access to passport number fields. Use regular expressions and policies to detect suspicious queries involving these fields. Monitor for attempts to access or transmit unencrypted passport data. Passport numbers should always be encrypted at rest and in transit.
