# PIIDetection Specifies a transform that identifies, removes or masks PII data. ## Contents ** EntityTypesToDetect ** Indicates the types of entities the PIIDetection transform will identify as PII data. PII type entities include: PERSON\$1NAME, DATE, USA\$1SNN, EMAIL, USA\$1ITIN, USA\$1PASSPORT\$1NUMBER, PHONE\$1NUMBER, BANK\$1ACCOUNT, IP\$1ADDRESS, MAC\$1ADDRESS, USA\$1CPT\$1CODE, USA\$1HCPCS\$1CODE, USA\$1NATIONAL\$1DRUG\$1CODE, USA\$1MEDICARE\$1BENEFICIARY\$1IDENTIFIER, USA\$1HEALTH\$1INSURANCE\$1CLAIM\$1NUMBER,CREDIT\$1CARD,USA\$1NATIONAL\$1PROVIDER\$1IDENTIFIER,USA\$1DEA\$1NUMBER,USA\$1DRIVING\$1LICENSE Type: Array of strings Pattern: `([\u0009\u000B\u000C\u0020-\uD7FF\uE000-\uFFFD\uD800\uDC00-\uDBFF\uDFFF])*` Required: Yes ** Inputs ** The node ID inputs to the transform. Type: Array of strings Array Members: Fixed number of 1 item. Pattern: `[A-Za-z0-9_-]*` Required: Yes ** Name ** The name of the transform node. Type: String Pattern: `([^\r\n])*` Required: Yes ** PiiType ** Indicates the type of PIIDetection transform. Type: String Valid Values: `RowAudit | RowHashing | RowMasking | RowPartialMasking | ColumnAudit | ColumnHashing | ColumnMasking` Required: Yes ** DetectionParameters ** Additional parameters for configuring PII detection behavior and sensitivity settings. Type: String Pattern: `([\u0009\u000B\u000C\u0020-\uD7FF\uE000-\uFFFD\uD800\uDC00-\uDBFF\uDFFF])*` Required: No ** DetectionSensitivity ** The sensitivity level for PII detection. Higher sensitivity levels detect more potential PII but may result in more false positives. Type: String Pattern: `([\u0009\u000B\u000C\u0020-\uD7FF\uE000-\uFFFD\uD800\uDC00-\uDBFF\uDFFF])*` Required: No ** MaskValue ** Indicates the value that will replace the detected entity. Type: String Length Constraints: Minimum length of 0. Maximum length of 256. Pattern: `[*A-Za-z0-9_-]*` Required: No ** MatchPattern ** A regular expression pattern used to identify additional PII content beyond the standard detection algorithms. Type: String Pattern: `([\u0009\u000B\u000C\u0020-\uD7FF\uE000-\uFFFD\uD800\uDC00-\uDBFF\uDFFF])*` Required: No ** NumLeftCharsToExclude ** The number of characters to exclude from redaction on the left side of detected PII content. This allows preserving context around the sensitive data. Type: Integer Valid Range: Minimum value of 0. Required: No ** NumRightCharsToExclude ** The number of characters to exclude from redaction on the right side of detected PII content. This allows preserving context around the sensitive data. Type: Integer Valid Range: Minimum value of 0. Required: No ** OutputColumnName ** Indicates the output column name that will contain any entity type detected in that row. Type: String Pattern: `([\u0009\u000B\u000C\u0020-\uD7FF\uE000-\uFFFD\uD800\uDC00-\uDBFF\uDFFF])*` Required: No ** RedactChar ** The character used to replace detected PII content when redaction is enabled. The default redaction character is `*`. Type: String Pattern: `([\u0009\u000B\u000C\u0020-\uD7FF\uE000-\uFFFD\uD800\uDC00-\uDBFF\uDFFF])*` Required: No ** RedactText ** Specifies whether to redact the detected PII text. When set to `true`, PII content is replaced with redaction characters. Type: String Pattern: `([\u0009\u000B\u000C\u0020-\uD7FF\uE000-\uFFFD\uD800\uDC00-\uDBFF\uDFFF])*` Required: No ** SampleFraction ** Indicates the fraction of the data to sample when scanning for PII entities. Type: Double Valid Range: Minimum value of 0. Maximum value of 1. Required: No ** ThresholdFraction ** Indicates the fraction of the data that must be met in order for a column to be identified as PII data. Type: Double Valid Range: Minimum value of 0. Maximum value of 1. Required: No ## See Also For more information about using this API in one of the language-specific AWS SDKs, see the following: + [AWS SDK for C\$1\$1](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/goto/SdkForCpp/glue-2017-03-31/PIIDetection) + [AWS SDK for Java V2](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/goto/SdkForJavaV2/glue-2017-03-31/PIIDetection) + [AWS SDK for Ruby V3](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/goto/SdkForRubyV3/glue-2017-03-31/PIIDetection)
