## What is PII Crawler PII Scanner?

PII Crawler is a desktop and CLI PII scanner that runs entirely on your own hardware. No cloud, no API key, no telemetry: zero bytes leave the machine during a scan, so it runs inside air-gapped networks where cloud DLP platforms cannot go.

It detects 30+ PII types (SSN, DOB, names, addresses, phone, email, credit card, IBAN, passport) across PDFs with OCR on embedded images, Word, Excel and PowerPoint including legacy OLE, CSVs of any size, .zip/.tar.gz/.7z archives opened in place, SMB and NFS network shares, and Postgres, MySQL and SQL Server sampled in memory. Detection layers pattern matching with named-entity recognition, and every match is shown with its surrounding text so a finding can be judged without opening the file. False-positive verdicts persist across reruns.

Results browse in a local web interface and export to CSV for GDPR, CCPA and HIPAA evidence. macOS, Windows and Linux. Fully functional 7-day trial, no signup and no credit card; $497 one time for unlimited users, machines and scans.
