Amazon Macie can detect multiple types of sensitive, personally identifiable information (PII) by using managed data identifiers. The topics on this page list each type and provide information about the managed data identifiers that are designed to detect the data. Each topic provides the following information:
-
Managed data identifier ID – Specifies the unique identifier (ID) for one or more managed data identifiers that are designed to detect the data. When you create a sensitive data discovery job or configure settings for automated sensitive data discovery, you can use these IDs to specify which managed data identifiers you want Macie to use when it analyzes data.
-
Supported countries and regions – Indicates which countries and regions the applicable managed data identifiers are designed for. If the managed data identifiers aren't designed for particular countries or regions, this value is Any.
-
Keyword required – Specifies whether detection requires a keyword to be in proximity of the data. If a keyword is required, the topic also provides examples of required keywords. For information about how Macie uses keywords when it analyzes data, see Keyword requirements.
-
Comments – Provides any relevant details that might affect your choice of managed data identifier or your investigation into reported occurrences of the sensitive data. The details include information such as supported standards, syntax requirements, and exceptions.
The topics are listed in alphabetical order by sensitive data type.

Although DNI numbers for Argentina and Spain have different syntaxes, there are similarities between them.

In addition, Macie doesn't report occurrences of the following character sequences, which are commonly used as example DNI numbers: 99999999 and 99.999.999. Macie also doesn't report occurrences that consist of only zeroes—for example, 000000000 and 00.000.000.
