Spirion, previously known as Identity Finder, is an application that searches a computer for Regulated data, including but not limited to social security numbers, driver’s license numbers, credit card numbers, and bank account information. Spirion will be configured to perform scheduled monthly scans of your agent-installed devices. InfoSec has created a baseline scan to look for Regulated data to be used as the primary data discovery scan. However, departments also have the ability to create their own scans based on specific data types or scan targets. Results of the scans will be populated into the Spirion Cloud console for review by the department’s IT staff.
Who is Responsible for Installing Spirion?
