Show full answer Show less ## Key Features Introduced in Australia Release * **Real-time Alerting and Blocking:** Analyze user input at the field level to detect sensitive data instantly. Alert users or block data entry to prevent sensitive data from entering the platform. * **Real-time Sensitive Data Logs:** Capture insights on where and by whom sensitive data is entered, supporting monitoring and auditing efforts. * **Attachment Scanning and Quarantine:** Automatically scan attachments during upload for sensitive data. Quarantine flagged files to restrict access to the document owner and authorized users until reviewed by an admin. * **New AI/ML Named Entity Recognition (NER) Models:** Detect and anonymize sensitive data patterns such as Address, City, State, Country, Job Position, and Salary. * **Anonymization for Catalog Variables:** Support for anonymizing sensitive data in catalog items and record producers through anonymization jobs during production and cloning. * **New Base System RegEx Patterns:** Enhanced detection and anonymization of sensitive data using global compliance-aligned regular expression patterns. * **Enhanced Anonymization Reporting:** Utilize a new anonymization dashboard providing quantitative insights into data protection activities for regulatory and audit compliance. ## Changes to Existing Features * **Improved Anonymization Dashboard:** Offers detailed views on what data was anonymized and by which method (real-time or job-based). * **Real-time Protection Module:** Configure alerting and blocking policies and access sensitive data logs with the new module. * **Optional Condition Filters for Anonymization Jobs:** Fine-tune the scope of data anonymized based on specific conditions. * **Specific Anonymization Policies for Catalog Variables:** Provides targeted anonymization for sensitive data in catalog requests. * **Refined Keyword Matching in Regex:** Implements full-string matching for better precision in discovering sensitive data, possibly requiring updates to keyword lists. ## Upgrade and Activation Notes * There are no removals or deprecations of Data Privacy features between Australia and Brazil releases. * Activation of Data Privacy requires enabling the Data Privacy plugin (**sndpstoreapp**), available via the ServiceNow Store. * No additional browser, localization, or accessibility requirements have been introduced or changed. ## Why This Matters These enhancements enable ServiceNow customers to proactively manage sensitive data by preventing its entry, monitoring its occurrence, and anonymizing it to meet compliance obligations. The real-time protections, improved reporting, and AI-based detection models help reduce risk, improve data governance, and support regulatory audits effectively. ## What to Expect * Greater visibility into sensitive data handling through real-time alerts and detailed logs. * Improved control over sensitive data in attachments and catalog variables. * Advanced anonymization capabilities supported by AI/ML models and refined policies. * Seamless upgrade experience with no feature removals or new activation hurdles beyond existing plugin activation.

You can also choose to block users from saving this information. [Data logs for real-time sensitive data](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=dps-data-privacy-overview&family=australia&ft:locale=en-US) : Leverage real-time alerting and blocking capabilities to obtain insights into where sensitive data is being entered into the instance and by which users. [Real-time sensitive data-scanning for attachments](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=attachment-quarantine-policies&family=australia&ft:locale=en-US) : Scan attachments for sensitive data during user uploads into fields. If sensitive data is detected, the attachment is quarantined. This restricts the access and download of the file to the original document owner and authorized users until the admin reviews the files. [New Named Entity Recognition (NER) model data patterns](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=default-data-patterns&family=australia&ft:locale=en-US) : Employ new AI/ML-based model data patterns (Address, City, State, Country, Job Position, and Salary) to detect and anonymize sensitive data. [Anonymization support for catalog variables](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=dps-create-anonymization-policies&family=australia&ft:locale=en-US) : Anonymize sensitive data in catalog items (including record producers) using anonymization jobs (in production and during cloning). [New base system Regular Expression (RegEx) data patterns](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=dds-review-discovery-findings&family=australia&ft:locale=en-US) : Employ new base system regular expression data patterns to detect and anonymize sensitive data in line with global compliance requirements. [Enhanced anonymization reporting](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=dps-create-anonymization-job&family=australia&ft:locale=en-US) : Demonstrate defensible compliance to regulators, auditors and internal teams using the new anonymization dashboard to provide quantitative insights into anonymization and data protection operations. | | Brazil | No updates for this release. | [ ] ## Changes Between your current release family and Brazil, some changes were made to existing Data Privacy features. {#dfrn3-dataprivacy-summary__entry__14} | Release | Release notes | |-|-| | Australia | * Use the [improved anonymization dashboard](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=dps-data-privacy-overview&family=australia&ft:locale=en-US) to get more details about anonymization. For example, what data was anonymized and how (real-time or through anonymization jobs). * Use the new [real-time protection module](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=real-time-protection&family=australia&ft:locale=en-US) to configure real-time alerting and your blocking policies. You can also view real-time sensitive data logs. New experience : * [Optional condition filter](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=dps-create-anonymization-job&family=australia&ft:locale=en-US) when running anonymization jobs to fine tune the scope of data to be anonymized. * [Specific anonymization policy](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=dps-create-anonymization-policies&family=australia&ft:locale=en-US) for catalog variables to anonymize sensitive data in catalog requests.
