What is Personally Identifiable Information?

PII is any data that can be used to identify a specific individual. When this information is exposed or mishandled, it can lead to identity theft, financial fraud, and serious legal consequences for your organization.

Every employee who handles customer data, employee records, or any personal information needs to understand how to protect it properly.

Examples of PII

  • Direct Identifiers — Names, Social Security numbers, driver's license numbers
  • Contact Information — Email addresses, phone numbers, physical addresses
  • Financial Data — Bank accounts, credit card numbers, tax IDs
  • Sensitive Data — Health records, biometric data, background checks
