--- url: /sensored/detectors/overview.md --- # Detector Overview sensored includes 129 built-in detectors across 13 domains. Each detector identifies a specific type of sensitive data and can be used with any transformation action. ## All detectors | Domain | Detector ID | Context Required | Stream Support | | ----------------- | ----------------------- | ---------------- | -------------- | | **Contact** | `address` | Yes | Yes | | | `email` | No | Yes | | | `phone` | No | Yes | | | `postal_code` | No | Yes | | **Crypto** | `crypto_address` | No | Yes | | | `crypto_tx_hash` | Yes | Yes | | **Cloud Keys** | `aws_access_key` | No | Yes | | | `google_api_key` | No | Yes | | | `slack_token` | No | Yes | | | `stripe_api_key` | No | Yes | | **Financial** | `card_data` | Yes | Yes | | | `eu_vat` | No | Yes | | | `financial_reference` | Yes | Yes | | | `iban` | No | Yes | | | `investment_account` | Yes | Yes | | | `payment_card` | No | Yes | | | `payment_gateway_id` | Yes | Yes | | | `swift_bic` | Yes | Yes | | | `uk_bank_account` | Yes | Yes | | | `uk_sort_code` | Yes | Yes | | | `us_routing` | Yes | Yes | | **Healthcare** | `clinical_trial_id` | Yes | Yes | | | `genetic_info` | Yes | Yes | | | `health_insurance_id` | Yes | Yes | | | `medical_code` | Yes | Yes | | | `medical_device_id` | Yes | Yes | | | `medical_record_number` | Yes | Yes | | | `medical_reference` | Yes | Yes | | | `us_dea` | Yes | Yes | | | `us_npi` | No | Yes | | **HR** | `hr_compensation` | Yes | Yes | | | `hr_identifier` | Yes | Yes | | | `hr_recruitment` | Yes | Yes | | | `hr_screening` | Yes | Yes | | **Identity** | `digital_identity` | Yes | Yes | | | `drivers_license` | Yes | Yes | | | `imei` | No | Yes | | | `imsi` | Yes | Yes | | | `license_plate` | Yes | Yes | | | `passport` | Yes | Yes | | | `vin` | No | Yes | | **Legal** | `legal_case` | Yes | Yes | | | `legal_license` | Yes | Yes | | | `legal_reference` | Yes | Yes | | **National ID** | `ar_cuit` | Yes | Yes | | | `ar_dni` | Yes | Yes | | | `au_tfn` | No | Yes | | | `bg_egn` | Yes | Yes | | | `bh_cpr` | Yes | Yes | | | `ca_sin` | No | Yes | | | `cl_rut` | Yes | Yes | | | `co_cedula` | Yes | Yes | | | `co_nit` | Yes | Yes | | | `cz_id` | Yes | Yes | | | `de_id` | Yes | Yes | | | `ec_cedula` | Yes | Yes | | | `eg_id` | Yes | Yes | | | `es_dni` | Yes | Yes | | | `fj_id` | Yes | Yes | | | `fr_insee` | Yes | Yes | | | `gh_card` | Yes | Yes | | | `hu_id` | Yes | Yes | | | `hu_tax_id` | Yes | Yes | | | `id_nik` | Yes | Yes | | | `id_npwp` | Yes | Yes | | | `il_id` | Yes | Yes | | | `it_codice_fiscale` | Yes | Yes | | | `jo_id` | Yes | Yes | | | `jp_my_number` | No | Yes | | | `ke_id` | Yes | Yes | | | `ke_kra_pin` | Yes | Yes | | | `kg_pin` | Yes | Yes | | | `kw_id` | Yes | Yes | | | `kz_iin` | Yes | Yes | | | `lb_id` | Yes | Yes | | | `ma_id` | Yes | Yes | | | `mm_nrc` | Yes | Yes | | | `my_ic` | Yes | Yes | | | `ng_bvn` | Yes | Yes | | | `ng_nin` | Yes | Yes | | | `nl_bsn` | Yes | Yes | | | `nz_driver_license` | Yes | Yes | | | `nz_ird` | No | Yes | | | `nz_ird_extra` | Yes | Yes | | | `nz_passport` | Yes | Yes | | | `om_id` | Yes | Yes | | | `pe_dni` | Yes | Yes | | | `pe_ruc` | Yes | Yes | | | `ph_umid` | Yes | Yes | | | `pl_pesel` | Yes | Yes | | | `png_id` | Yes | Yes | | | `qa_id` | Yes | Yes | | | `ro_cnp` | Yes | Yes | | | `rs_jmbg` | Yes | Yes | | | `ru_passport` | Yes | Yes | | | `ru_snils` | Yes | Yes | | | `sa_id` | Yes | Yes | | | `us_ssn` | Yes | Yes | | | `th_id` | Yes | Yes | | | `tj_id` | Yes | Yes | | | `tm_passport` | Yes | Yes | | | `to_id` | Yes | Yes | | | `tr_id` | Yes | Yes | | | `ua_inn` | Yes | Yes | | | `ua_passport` | Yes | Yes | | | `uae_id` | Yes | Yes | | | `uk_nhs` | Yes | Yes | | | `uk_nino` | No | Yes | | | `us_ein` | Yes | Yes | | | `us_itin` | No | Yes | | | `uy_cedula` | Yes | Yes | | | `uz_passport` | Yes | Yes | | | `uz_stir` | Yes | Yes | | | `ve_cedula` | Yes | Yes | | | `ve_rif` | Yes | Yes | | | `vn_cccd` | Yes | Yes | | | `ws_id` | Yes | Yes | | | `za_id` | Yes | Yes | | **Network** | `ipv4` | No | Yes | | | `ipv6` | No | Yes | | | `mac_address` | No | Yes | | | `url_with_auth` | No | Yes | | **Person** | `person_name` | No | Yes | | | `person_name_lite` | No | Yes | | **Tokens & Keys** | `generic_api_key` | Yes | Yes | | | `github_token` | No | Yes | | | `jwt_token` | No | Yes | | | `private_key` | No | Yes | | **Logistics** | `tracking_number` | Yes | Yes | ## Context requirements Some detectors require nearby context labels to confirm a match. For example, `us_ssn` looks for labels like "SSN" or "Social Security Number" near the candidate number. This reduces false positives from arbitrary 9-digit numbers. You can discover context requirements programmatically via `listDetectors()` or `redactor.describe()`. Each returns `DetectorDescription` objects with an optional `contextHint` field containing the labels, position, and window. See [LLM Steering](../guide/llm-steering) for details. Context-required detectors: * `address` — Labels: Address, Street, Ave, Boulevard, Road, etc. * `card_data` — Labels: Card, PAN, CVV, CVC, Card Number * `clinical_trial_id` — Labels: NCT, Clinical Trial, Study * `crypto_tx_hash` — Labels: Transaction, Tx, Hash, Blockchain * `digital_identity` — Labels: Username, User ID, Handle, Account * `drivers_license` — Labels: Driver's License, DL, License No., Driving Licence * `financial_reference` — Labels: Reference, Ref, Transaction ID * `generic_api_key` — Labels: API key, API secret, access token, etc. * `gh_card` — Labels: Ghana Card, National ID * `hr_compensation` — Labels: Salary, Bonus, Compensation, Pay * `hr_identifier` — Labels: Employee ID, Staff ID, Personnel * `hr_recruitment` — Labels: Application, Candidate, Requisition * `hr_screening` — Labels: Background, Screening, Check * `investment_account` — Labels: Account, Investment, Portfolio * `legal_case` — Labels: Case, Docket, No., vs. * `legal_license` — Labels: Bar, License, Attorney * `legal_reference` — Labels: Statute, CFR, USC, Section * `license_plate` — Labels: License Plate, Plate, Registration * `medical_code` — Labels: ICD-10, CPT, HCPCS, Diagnosis Code * `medical_device_id` — Labels: UDI, Device ID, Medical Device * `medical_record_number` — Labels: MRN, Medical Record, Medical Record Number * `medical_reference` — Labels: Reference, DOI, PubMed * `passport` — Labels: Passport, Passport No., Passport Number * `payment_gateway_id` — Labels: Gateway, Merchant, Payment ID * `swift_bic` — Labels: SWIFT, BIC, Bank Code * `uk_bank_account` — Labels: Account Number, Bank Account * `uk_nhs` — Labels: NHS, Health Service * `uk_sort_code` — Labels: Sort Code, Bank Code * `us_dea` — Labels: DEA, DEA Number * `us_ein` — Labels: EIN, Employer ID, Tax ID * `us_routing` — Labels: Routing, ABA, Transit * `us_ssn` — Labels: SSN, Social Security Number, Social Security No. * `tracking_number` — Labels: tracking, tracking number, shipment, waybill, parcel * All 56 new national ID detectors — Labels vary per country (see individual detector pages) ## Detection mechanisms Detectors use three complementary mechanisms: 1. **Regex candidate discovery** — Pattern matching finds potential matches 2. **Deterministic validators** — Checksums (Luhn, mod-97, mod-11, mod-23), length validation, and format rules filter out false positives 3. **Context rules** — Nearby labels confirm or reject candidates ## Overlap resolution When matches from different detectors overlap, they form transitive overlap groups. The highest-precedence action in the group wins: **remove > redact > format-preserve > token-replace > mask** Adjacent (non-overlapping) matches remain separate groups.
