The Problem
Global e-commerce and financial platforms process customer data containing country-specific identifiers: Brazilian CPF (11-digit tax ID with check digit), Indian PAN (10-character alphanumeric), EU IBANs (variable format by country), and dozens more. Each country uses a different format with different validation algorithms. Most enterprise PII tools only detect US SSN, credit card numbers, and email addresses well. Organizations either maintain multiple regional tools or accept compliance gaps.
