The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA) implements industry-wide standards for health care information. Health care providers, organizations, and their associates are required to develop and follow procedures for PHI when it is transferred, received, handled, or shared. It applies to all forms of PHI, including written, electronic, and oral.

Under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), all personal data of a citizen from the European Union must be secured. Companies are required to protect any data that can directly or indirectly identify an individual ("data subject"). These identifiers include, but are not limited to:

• Bank Account Number
• First Name
• Last Name
• Address
• Zip Code

• Income and Tax Data
• Race, Ethnicity, and Religious Affiliation
• Sexual Orientation
• Trade Union Membership
• Birth Date
• Password
• Military ID
• Passport Number
• Driver's License Number

The law also provides citizens with the Right to be Forgotten, or the ability to request that all information about them be removed from a company's possession. IRI data obfuscation products find that PII and PI you need in text, image, or facial form, and tell you where it is, and (immediately or later) automatically delete, deliver, and fix it so you can comply with GDPR right to erasure, portability and rectification provisions.

The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) is a federal law that protects the privacy of student records and information. FERPA gives rights and protections to parents and eligible students. Once a student reaches 18 years of age or enrolls in a post-secondary institution, he or she becomes an "eligible student," meaning all rights formerly controlled by the parents transfer to the student.

• Student Name
• Student ID Number
• Family Member Names
• Place of Birth
• Mother's Maiden Name
• Student Educational Records
• Immunization Records
• Health Records
• Individuals with Disabilities (IDEA) Records
• Attendance Records

Information that must be protected under FISMA includes PII and other sensitive information from these categories:

• Medical
• Financial
• Contractor Sensitive
• Security Management
• Other information specified by executive order, specific law, directive, policy, or regulation

• Income
