6.Prior to initiating a scan, you can click on the Identities Tab to change the selected search criteria for Identity Finder. HUITrecommends you search for Social Security Numbers, Credit Card Numbers, Password Entries, Bank Account Numbers,Driver License, Date of Birth, and Passport Numbers. You can expand your search to include other classes of HRCI byselecting the appropriate category.7.In the Main tab, click Start to initiate a scan.8.A Status window will now be visible. Identity finder will be searching for the highlighted materials across your computer.You can continue to work while Identity Finder scans your computer. However, using Internet Explorer or Firefox willinterfere with Identity Finder’s ability to search browser data stored on your computer.Page 2 of 8

9.If Identity Finder found sensitive data, you will be given options via the Results Wizard. The remediation window is dividedinto several sections: Actions, File Browser and the Preview Pane. Selected items in the File Browser will display in thePreview Pane, with any suspected HRCI highlighted in yellow. Review the information for accuracy prior to taking action.Important: Some results in the File Browser may be false positives, including system files and program files that yourcomputer needs in order to run properly. These may include files that end in .exe, .ini, .dat, and .dll. Deleting programor system files may cause programs not to work correctly, and can even make your computer inoperable.10. Once your scan is completed, a window will pop up with a summary of your results. Wizard: The Results Wizard is an easy to use, quick way to secure your results using Identity Finder. By default you willbe prompted to use the Results Wizard when Identity Finder is finished searching your computer. However, you canalso initiate the wizard by clicking Main ribbon, then the Start Results Wizard dropdown on the Start button any timeafter your search is complete while there are still results in the Results View.The Advanced Options setting provides you access to advanced features within Identity Finder that are recommendedfor power users only.Page 3 of 8

Save As: Identity Finder allows you to save the results of your searches in three ways:o Identity Finder: Generates a *.idf file, which is encrypted with a password of your choice and cannot be read byanyone else. Files saved in this format can only be opened from within Identity Finder and allow you to work withyour results at any time in the future. This format is useful when you have run a search but wish to take action onyour results at a later time. All results are saved and secured using this format.o Web Page Report: Generates a report as a *.html file, which contains an analysis of your results includingsummary information and totals for the number and types of identity matches that were found as well as thelocations containing those matches. This report can be used to show trends if you compare it to previousreports. The Web Page Report is not secured and potentially contains location and identity information so youmust be careful to protect it. After you are finished with a file in this format, you should use the IdentityFinder tools to shred it.o Text Export: Generates a Comma Separated Values (*.csv) file, which is saved unencrypted, in clear text and canbe read by anyone with access to your computer. Files saved in this format can be opened in any text editor orspreadsheet program such as Microsoft Excel but cannot be loaded back into Identity Finder. This format is usefulwhen you wish to perform advanced searching, sorting, and reporting of your data in another application. Afteryou are finished with a file in this format, you should use the Identity Finder tools to shred it. Reminder: If you choose to be reminded later, you are presented with several time options. Identity Finder willminimize itself to your system tray and remain there until the specified period of time has passed. If you want to bringIdentity Finder back sooner, you can double click the System Tray icon.11. Select the “Wizard” option and click “Next”.12. Once you finish reviewing the file, you must take an appropriate action. A listing and description of all available actions isshown below: Secure the highlighted item using the associated application’s features. Shred implements the U.S. Department of Defense deletion standard, which is known as DOD 5220.00-M fordeleting files.Page 4 of 8

Delete the highlighted file by moving it to the ‘Recycle Bin’. Note: This does not actually delete your file andhas a high probability of being recovered even after you empty the Recycle Bin. It is recommended you usethe “Shred” button instead. Move the highlighted file to a quarantine location and permanently shred it from its original location. Ignore either the currently highlighted item or its Identity Match so that it is not found again. Note: Item onthe Ignore List will not be searched. To remove an item from the Ignore List, use the ‘Manage Ignore List’option. These items will be skipped for now, but will return in following scans.HUIT Security policies dictate that HRCI data is not to be saved locally to any machine. If Identity Finder discovers any HRCI data onyour computer, please make sure to move it to an approved location for HRCI data. Once data is moved, you may use the Shredoption to remove it completely from your machine. For more information about HRCI information, please see this -new/files/data classification table abridged 7.23.13 0.pdf.Scheduling a recurring scanIn order to aid you in keeping your computer free of high-risk confidential information, HUIT suggests that you schedule a monthlyscan for Identity Finder, but actual recurrence may be based on your department needs.
