Scanning for Data Privacy Issues

github.com/jeremylongshore/claude-code-plugins-plus-skills

This skill enables Claude to automatically scan code and configuration files for potential data privacy vulnerabilities using the data-privacy-scanner plugin. It identifies sensitive data exposure, compliance violations, and other privacy-related risks. Use this skill when the user requests to "scan for data privacy issues", "check privacy compliance", "find PII leaks", "identify GDPR violations", or needs a "privacy audit" of their codebase. The skill is most effective when used on projects involving personal data, financial information, or health records.

Overview

This skill automates the process of identifying data privacy risks within a codebase. By leveraging the data-privacy-scanner plugin, Claude can quickly pinpoint potential vulnerabilities, helping developers proactively address compliance requirements and protect sensitive user data.

How It Works

  1. Initiate Scan: Upon detecting a privacy-related trigger phrase, Claude activates the data-privacy-scanner plugin.
  2. Analyze Codebase: The plugin analyzes the specified files or the entire project for potential data privacy violations.
  3. Report Findings: The plugin generates a detailed report outlining identified risks, including the location of the vulnerability and a description of the potential impact.

When to Use This Skill

This skill activates when you need to:

  • Identify potential data privacy vulnerabilities in a codebase.
  • Ensure compliance with data privacy regulations such as GDPR, CCPA, or HIPAA.
  • Perform a privacy audit of a project involving sensitive user data.

Examples

Example 1: Identifying PII Leaks

User request: "Scan this project for PII leaks."

The skill will:

  1. Activate the data-privacy-scanner plugin to analyze the project.
  2. Generate a report highlighting potential Personally Identifiable Information (PII) leaks, such as exposed email addresses or phone numbers.

Example 2: Checking GDPR Compliance

User request: "Check this configuration file for GDPR compliance issues."

The skill will:

  1. Activate the data-privacy-scanner plugin to analyze the specified configuration file.
  2. Generate a report identifying potential GDPR violations, such as insufficient data anonymization or improper consent management.

Best Practices

  • Scope: Specify the relevant files or directories to narrow the scope of the scan and improve performance.
  • Context: Provide context about the type of data being processed to help the plugin identify relevant privacy risks.
  • Review: Carefully review the generated report to understand the identified vulnerabilities and implement appropriate remediation measures.

Integration

This skill can be integrated with other security and compliance tools to provide a comprehensive approach to data privacy. For example, it can be combined with vulnerability scanning tools to identify related security risks or with reporting tools to track progress on remediation efforts.
