Which of the following is an example of Sensitive PII?

• A. SSN, Driver's License, Date of Birth
• B. Email address
• C. Street address
• D. Phone number

Answer: (A)

Sensitive PII are data elements that, if exposed, could cause significant harm such as identity theft or fraud. Social Security numbers, driver’s license numbers, and dates of birth are classic examples because they are unique identifiers used in verification and can be exploited to impersonate someone. When these pieces are exposed, the risk of serious misuse is high. In contrast, while an email address, street address, or phone number are still personal data (PII) and can be misused, they do not carry the same level of risk on their own as government-issued or highly confidential identifiers, so they aren’t typically classified as Sensitive PII in most frameworks.
