Employee Identification Number (EIN) not availbale as built in Identifier in Symantec Vontu version 9.0

  • 1.  Employee Identification Number (EIN) not availbale as built in Identifier in Symantec Vontu version 9.0

    Vontu 9 has built in identifiers SSN and ITIN but not EIN. Structure of 9 digit SSN is different from structure of 9 digit EIN so using DI SSN will not suffice for EIN. (By structure I mean allocation of digits not just the format xxx-xx-xxxx for SSN versus xx-xxxxxxx for EIN). Just curious if anyone is looking for EIN in their policies? If yes, did you create RegEx along with Keywords etc. Any suggestions?

    If there's no built-in identifier, then you have no choice but to create a RegEx. In DLP version 11, which should be released this month, you should be able to create your own identifier =D

    There are some cool RegEx tools and tutorials here:

    Some information on DLP 11:
