# Find and cleanse sensitive data

# Find and cleanse sensitive data {#ariaid-title1}

Release version: Brazil  
Updated October 19, 2026  
![](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/portal-asset/ico-clock) 1 minute to read  
Scan a dataset for personally identifiable information (PII) and other sensitive data, and cleanse the records that the scan finds.

## Before you begin

The
following plugins must be installed: Data Discovery (sn_data_discovery), Data Privacy (sn_dp_store_app), and com.glide.data_privacy.

Role
required: sn_data_kit.admin

## About this task

New
datasets are scanned automatically when they're created. If a dataset hasn't been scanned, you can scan it yourself. A dataset can be scanned only once.

The scan results appear on the dataset's Data insights tab. For details, see [View data insights](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/Nw77ps1svixeext4MyjrBg "View data insights to check a dataset for sensitive data or to find data quality issues in a data collection before you use it for evaluation.").

## Procedure

1. Navigate to AllAI Data KitHome.
2. In the An overview of your data assets section, on the Datasets tab, select the dataset.
3. On the right side of the dataset page, select the Scan and cleanse icon.  
   The icon is in the narrow bar along the right edge of the page. Point to it to see its name.
4. On the Scan data tab, check the Scan status.  
   If the status is No scans run yet, select Scan data. If the dataset has already been scanned, go to the next step.
5. Select the Data insights tab, and review the number of records that contain sensitive data.
6. In the scan and cleanse panel, on the Cleanse data tab, select Cleanse data.  
   Cleanse data is available only after a scan finds sensitive data.

## Result

The Data cleansing count on the Data insights tab shows the number of records that were
cleansed.
