The US-Centric PII Tool Problem
Most PII detection tools were built in the United States for US data formats. The Social Security Number — 9 digits in AAA-BB-CCCC format, with documented area numbers, group numbers, and serial numbers — was the primary design target. Tools built around SSN detection reliably detect SSNs. They may also detect phone numbers, email addresses, and US driver's license formats. They systematically miss the identifier formats used in every other country.
