How can I find sensitive personal information stored in computer files
Hi & thank you in advance,
Is there a software scanner that I can use to scan computers for sensitive information (social security numbers, credit card numbers, family information) stored in text, word, excel etc data files. I looked into DLP but the company cannot afford to purchase.
I am open to suggestions.

kindly do note the usage and license where applicable from the source in the use case.
Also there is another software program that allows users to quickly scan their computers for sensitive numbers. But this tool does not guarantee your computer is free of social security and credit card numbers. It simply reports files that contain numbers which look like they could pose a security threat.
