Hi John

I'd second Neil's recommendation of dbsat. It's a tool that's well worth running (the latest version of) periodically, perhaps as a part or ahead of an internal audit.

As this is a verification exercise and you might have other database platforms in use on your org, many of the backup vendors now have support for identifying PII or Sensitive data - I know that Rubrik and Commvault have capabilities in this space and I expect many others do as well since the regulations you refer to also require proper backup security. I'd definitely approach your backup vendor to see what they offer.
