A curated set of high-confidence, low false-positive detection patterns. The best starting point for organizations new to DLP pattern deployment. Covers major jurisdictions and credential types.
Detects Australian Medicare card numbers, which are issued to Australian citizens and permanent residents for access to subsidised healthcare under the Medicare system. The number consists of 10 digits: the first digit is between 2 and 6, followed by 8 additional digits and a single check digit. Numbers are commonly formatted as groups of 4-5-1 digits separated by spaces or hyphens.
Identifies Australian Tax File Numbers (TFNs) — unique nine-digit identifiers issued by the Australian Taxation Office. Uses Func_australian_tax_file_number validator with AllDigitsSameFilter and TextMatchFilter to exclude known test values.
Detects SIN patterns. This pattern is based on a Microsoft Purview built-in sensitive information type. Users already running Purview may prefer to enable the built-in SIT directly, or use this version as a starting point for customisation.
Detects International Bank Account Numbers (IBANs) used across European and global banking systems. IBANs consist of a two-letter country code, two check digits, and up to 30 alphanumeric characters representing the domestic bank account number. This pattern matches IBANs with or without space or hyphen delimiters between digit groups.
Detects AWS Access Key patterns.
Identifies electronic mail addresses in RFC-compatible local-part@domain.tld format. Requires valid top-level domain of 2+ characters. Uses word-boundary anchoring distinct from substring matching.
Detects Github Pat patterns. This pattern is based on a Microsoft Purview built-in sensitive information type. Users already running Purview may prefer to enable the built-in SIT directly, or use this version as a starting point for customisation.
Identifies payment card Primary Account Numbers (PANs) for Visa, Mastercard (including 2-series BINs), American Express, and Discover. Uses Func_credit_card Luhn validator with AllDigitsSameFilter.
Detects National Insurance Number patterns. This pattern is based on a Microsoft Purview built-in sensitive information type. Users already running Purview may prefer to enable the built-in SIT directly, or use this version as a starting point for customisation.
Detects US Social Security Numbers (SSNs) in both formatted (XXX-XX-XXXX) and unformatted (XXXXXXXXX) representations. The pattern excludes invalid SSN ranges including area numbers 000, 666, and 900-999, group numbers 00, and serial numbers 0000, in accordance with SSA assignment rules. SSNs are critical PII used across healthcare, financial, and government contexts.
