What do the scan results mean?
Results indicate that Identity Finder found numbers that look like social security numbers or financial account information. These are often false positives - numbers that appear similar but are not actual sensitive information. Identity Finder will also report student ID numbers (starting with 991) as social security numbers. While not legally protected, such numbers usually indicate other student records, which may be covered under FERPA.
A scan result does not mean the user violated policy or is in any “trouble.” This exercise is to reduce risk, not audit compliance, and anyone participating is to be commended.
