Yellow and red highlights
What each highlight colour means and when to act.
Hi team, Sarah Martinez will be joining the project. Her contact is NL91 ABNA 0417 1643 00.
BeeSensible uses two highlight colours to communicate severity at a glance.
Yellow
Yellow marks data that is sensitive in some contexts but not all. Examples include person names, job titles, internal reference numbers, and most email addresses. Yellow is a prompt to be mindful, not a hard stop. Whether you act depends on the context and on your organization's policy.
Red
Red marks data with a higher privacy or financial risk. Examples include BSN numbers, IBANs, passport numbers, medical record references, passwords, and API keys. Red is a stronger signal: review the value and decide whether to remove, replace, or mask it before sending.
How severity is decided
Severity is set per data type, per detection profile, and optionally per app. The same data type can be treated differently in different applications. Your admin configures this. If you are unsure why something is or is not highlighted, ask your admin.
What to do
- No highlight: nothing flagged.
- Yellow highlight: pause and consider whether to share the value in this app.
- Red highlight: review, then use remove, replace, or mask before sending if needed.
The decision is always yours. The extension does not block sending.
