How to Secure Personally Identifiable Information (PII)
PII, or Personally Identifiable Information, is any information that directly or indirectly identifies an individual, such as name, address, payment information, or contact information. The U.S. The Department of Homeland Security defines a second category of PII: Sensitive PII, which includes Social Security Numbers, driver’s license numbers, Alien Registration numbers, financial or medical records, biometrics, and criminal history.
