> piicomb — cognis-digital-piicomb. Use this tool when you need to identify and discover personally identifiable information (PII) in your local files, such as social security numbers, credit cards, and email addresses. It solves the problem of unintentionally exposing sensitive data by scanning files for PII, providing outputs that highlight potential security risks. It is particularly useful in the context of git repositories, where it can help prevent PII from being committed and exposed.
