Find every unencrypted SSN in your files. Air-gapped. Yours forever.
PII Crawler scans your files, network shares, and databases on your own hardware. It surfaces the SSNs, addresses, names, and emails hiding where SaaS tools can't reach. Nothing ever leaves your network.

Unencrypted PII on your laptops, shares, and databases is a ticking liability.
One breach of unencrypted PII can cost thousands to millions in legal fees, credit monitoring, and brand damage. GDPR and CCPA both require you to know exactly where PII lives, before something goes wrong.
Already had an incident?
Notification windows are tight and reporting rules vary by state and country. You need to identify every affected record, fast. That includes PII tucked inside embedded images, old spreadsheets, and forgotten archives. Hunting by hand isn't an option.
You can't secure what you can't see.
PII leaks into places you never put it. An employee pastes a customer list into a PowerPoint chart and the source data rides along, embedded inside the slide. A spreadsheet backup lands on a public share. A screenshot of an order gets attached to a ticket. All of it is invisible until you go looking.
Hunting through thousands of files by hand isn't a strategy. You need continuous scanning that runs on your schedule, on your machines, without sending anything to a third-party cloud.
That's what PII Crawler does. And it's yours to run forever, for one payment.
Finds PII where other tools go blind.
PII Crawler finds sensitive data in the places other tools miss:
- Text and images embedded inside PDFs
- Word documents and Excel spreadsheets
- CSV files
- SQL databases (sampled, scanned in memory)
It catches SSNs, addresses, customer names, and email addresses out of the box, and we're always adding new PII types.
Under the hood, PII Crawler combines pattern matching with named-entity recognition to catch real PII and filter out look-alike noise, so your report isn't drowning in false positives.
Runs fully air-gapped. Your data never leaves your network.
One payment. Not a subscription.
Most enterprise PII tools bill thousands per month, forever. PII Crawler is a single $497 payment. Own the binary, scan as much as you want, for as long as you want.

Frequently asked questions
Everything we get asked before people buy: pricing, platforms, what it scans, and how your data stays on your network.
Just $497, once, really?
Yes, PII Crawler is just $497, once. No ongoing fees, no monthly fees, no annual fees, no per-user fees, no support contracts, nothing. You don't rent PII Crawler like SaaS products. You buy it. It's yours.
What exactly do I get?
You get access to a PII scanner available for all major operating systems. See the download links below.
Which operating systems are supported?
macOS (Apple Silicon), Windows, and Linux. Both a desktop GUI version and a CLI build are available for each platform.
What data sources can it scan?
Files on local disks and network shares (PDFs with embedded images, Word documents, Excel spreadsheets, CSV files, and more), plus SQL databases. Database rows are sampled and scanned in memory on the machine running PII Crawler.
What PII types are supported?
First name, last name, city, state, zip, street address, email, social security numbers, and more supported PII types.
Can I integrate it into CI/CD or scripts?
Yes. PII Crawler ships a CLI build for macOS, Windows, and Linux so you can automate scans from shell scripts, cron jobs, or CI pipelines. See the CLI downloads below.
Does it transmit any of the data?
During file scanning PII Crawler scans data on the machine it is running on. It doesn't send or collect any of the data outside your network.
For database scanning a network connection is made to the database being scanned. Data from the database is sampled and scanned in memory on the machine running PII Crawler. For more information see the security section of our documentation.
