Can anyone recommend a good utility for finding private data like PII or credit card info inside documents? Something that doesn't require complicated setup.

Hello! You might want to try the
Sensitive data discovery tool from Angry Data Scanner. It’s designed exactly for that — to automatically locate personal and confidential data across your local drives, S3 buckets, or even web pages. It uses pattern matching to detect PII such as emails, card numbers, or logins, and lists high-risk files first. You can pause, schedule, or export scans easily. I use it for GDPR compliance checks at work, and it saves hours of manual review. The interface is simple, no installation hassles, and it even runs via the command line if you prefer automation.
