Zendesk's redaction suggestions can automatically detect a variety of personally identifiable information (PII) within ticket comments. This includes first names, surnames, email addresses, physical addresses, credit or debit card numbers, IBANs, passwords, Social Security Numbers (SSNs), and bank account numbers.
These types of PII are highlighted in orange, allowing agents with the appropriate permissions to easily identify and redact them. This proactive approach helps ensure that sensitive information is managed effectively within the Zendesk system.
