Abstract: Methods, systems, and software for identifying threat data in documents stored in cloud-based storage services. A service is provided that enables users who store documents on cloud-based storage services to have their documents scanned for threat data comprising personal and/or confidential data such as social security numbers, credit card numbers, e-mail addresses, and phone numbers. The documents are streamed from the storage services and scanned to detect one or more types of personal threat data. The detected personal threat data are then presented to users in redacted form. Detecting and presentation of personal threat data is performed in a manner under which threat data is never stored in non-volatile storage in an un-redacted form. A Web service seamlessly enables users to request their documents to be scanned for personal threat data, view detected personal threat data in redacted forms, and access documents identified as containing personal threat data.
