A technician is tasked with securely disposing of old hard drives from the human resources department. The drives contain files with employee names, social security numbers, and home addresses. What type of sensitive data is this information considered?
This information is considered Personally Identifiable Information (PII) because it includes data that can be used to identify a specific individual. Employee names, social security numbers, and home addresses are all classic examples of PII. Protected Health Information (PHI) specifically relates to medical and health records. The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is a set of data privacy regulations, not a type of data itself. Confidentiality is a security principle (part of the CIA triad) that PII handling falls under, but PII is the specific classification of the data.
