How do I find custom sensitive content in a web assessment?

Holm Security allows you to scan for custom sensitive content during a web application assessment. You can define specific regular expressions to detect sensitive data such as personal ID numbers or credit card numbers.

Add custom sensitive content to a profile

1. Log in to your Security Center.

2. In the main navigation bar, hover over Assessments.

3. From the dropdown menu, select Profiles.

4. Select Web from the dropdown menu.

5. Edit an existing profile or create a new one.

6. Go to Sensitive content and scroll to the bottom of the page.

7. In the Custom content section, add the regular expression you want the assessment to search for.

   • Example: (?:0[1-9]|[12]\d|3[01])(?:[04][1-9]|[15][0-2])\d{7} detects Norwegian personal identity numbers.

8. Press Enter to add the expression.

9. Click OK to save the settings.

Once configured, the scanner will look for matches to the defined regular expressions during the assessment.
