Content Detectors

Analyze file content to detect and categorize based on a set of keywords, positive and negative terms, phrases, or patterns. Ideal for identifying specific topics within documents.

Note: Content detectors are only evaluated for files that the scanner supports (See Supported File Types).
  1. Navigate to Administration > Detectors to bring them to the Detector page.

  2. On the Content Detectors tab, click New Detector button. This opens the following Create new Query dialog.

  3. Select one of Regex or Keywords. This defines where the search base of the detector will look (i.e. search through the contents of a file or the file path).
  4. In the Contain field set the relevant keywords that might trigger a detector hit in a potentially sensitive document, such as Salary, Compensation Package, Payslip, Payroll, Compensation Structure, or OTE.
  5. If there are terms that the Detector is set to ignore set them in the Not Contain field.
  6. If you want the detection operation to be case sensitive, the enable Case sensitive.
  7. Click the Enabled button to turn on and click Save.
  8. The new detector should now be visible in the list of Detectors.

Later, you can also use the controls - to edit, delete, enable/disable detectors previously created.

Note: Any changes to detectors are applied to all scans (including running scans) but past scan results (including those in a running scan) remain unaffected.
