General Guidance
Other detectors that exist are not recommended for use for the above compliance frameworks. 
See Creating Detection Rules for general information on creating and tuning detection rules.
For all use cases, Nightfall recommends:
Scoping should cover all locations where the sensitive data should not be disclosed
Tune and amend rules over time in accordance with your violations and data.
Use Context and Exclusion Rules to reduce false positives and fine-tune alerts.
Consider increasing the number of detections required before triggering an alert - more findings often mean higher confidence. 
Upgrade your rules from Basic to Advanced as needed. 
Please report any false positives to [email protected]. We will use your reports to improve our ML models.
If you need support for data types or locales not listed above, please contact [email protected].
