Cloud DLP terminology

Before we jump into defining Cloud DLP inspection templates, let us go over some important terminology that you will see in the templates.

DLP infoTypes

Information types, also known as infoTypes, are sensitive data kinds that Cloud DLP is preconfigured to scan and identify—for instance, US Social Security numbers, credit card numbers, phone numbers, zip codes, and names. Both built-in and custom InfoTypes are supported by Cloud DLP.

There is a detector for each infoType defined in Cloud DLP. To identify what to look for and how to transform findings, Cloud DLP employs infoType detectors in its scan configuration. When showing or reporting scan findings, infoType names are also used. Cloud DLP releases new infoType detectors and groups regularly. Call the Cloud DLP REST API’s infoTypes.list method to receive the most up-to-date list of built-in infoTypes.
