Detect MEDICAL_LICENSE #29

Closed jmgreen10 closed 8 months ago

jmgreen10 commented 9 months ago

A Medical License ensures that the practicing physician has all the necessary qualifications to practice in their field. It also verifies that the physician will abide by the code or standards of professional conduct while serving patients. A Medical License must be protected as a PII (Personal Identifiable Information) because it uniquely identifies specific individuals as those with the qualifications to safely practice medicine. If such information was compromised, malicious actors could potentially use the license to practice medicine and commit crimes using the individual's information. If a Medical License is compromised, the individual's medical future can be compromised. If you would like to read more about medical licensing click here.

A persons medical license could also be a potential link to multiple other PII's. Most personal identifiable information is intertwined within each other and a medical license is likely something you tie core information too such as a phone number, and even payment info.
