Scan History Details

The following table describes the properties displayed for each scanned Target location in the Scan History page:

Scan History page displaying recent searches and status of scanned locations for a Target.

Property Description
Source The source Target location scanned.
For example, File path /root/sensitive/location.txt.
Start Date Date the scan started, in the format DD-MMM-YYYY HH:MM.
For example, 06-Jul-2018 06:34.
Duration Length of time taken for this scan.
Scanned Locations The total number of individual locations (files, database records, URIs) scanned within the source Target location.
Match Locations The total number of individual locations (files, database records, URIs) that contain matches.
Scanned Bytes The total amount of data scanned for that Target location. Refer to Scanned Bytes below.
Test The number of matches found on this Target location that are known test data types. Refer to Test Data in the Supported Data Types section.
Prohibited The number of matches found on this Target location that constitute prohibited data under the PCI DSS.
Matches The number of matches found on this Target location.
Inaccessible The number of inaccessible locations encountered during the scan.
Status The current state of the scan.

Scanned Bytes

The value displayed in the "Scanned Bytes" column may not match the physical size of data scanned on the Target. Files and locations on the Target are processed to extract meaningful data. This data is then scanned for sensitive information. Since only extracted data is scanned, the amount of "Scanned Bytes" may be different from the physical size of files and locations on the Target.

Examples

  • For compressed files (e.g. ZIP archives) or locations, the data is decompressed and extracted before it is scanned for sensitive data, resulting in a higher number of "Scanned Bytes" for the file.
  • For XML files, XML tags are stripped from the file before the contents are scanned for sensitive data, resulting in a lower number of "Scanned Bytes" for the XML file.
  • For image files, when the OCR feature is enabled, only relevant data is extracted from the file and scanned for sensitive data, resulting in a lower number of "Scanned Bytes" for the image file.
