Spirion (formerly Identity Finder)

Spirion is the new name for Identity Finder, a software tool used by Humboldt to discover, classify, and remediate the inappropriate storage of Level I protected data on campus computer systems. Spirion scans are specifically intended to uncover where Social Security numbers, credit card numbers, and driver's license numbers, as well as passwords, are stored and ensure that such storage is only for legitimate business purposes. 

Staff and faculty are required to run Spirion on their Humboldt computers annually and to securely delete any PII on their system or in their shared drive that does not serve a current campus business need. If you have a business need to store Level 1 protected data on your Humboldt computer, your appropriate administrator must work with the Information Security office to register and appropriately protect that computer.
