Detector Schemes

Detector schemes allow you to group detectors so that you can scan for different types of sensitive data between spaces.

Schemes are particularly useful when different departments or teams are interested in specific types of sensitive data in their space and a one size fits all approach is not appropriate.

For example, your HR team may wish to search for social security numbers or national insurance numbers in their space, whilst your IT team may be more interested in looking for AWS secret keys or SSL certificates in their Confluence space. In this case, you could create a Human Resources Detector Scheme and a separate IT Detector Scheme which would allow each team to monitor the presence of sensitive data which is relevant to their work.

Detector schemes can be assigned globally or within individual spaces from the Detection Scope page.

Important: Detector schemes can be created, edited and managed by Confluence admins only.
