The disclosure generally relates to systems and methods for detecting personally identifiable information (PII). The present systems and methods solve the problem of detecting the PII and the PII column names in the customer database with enhanced accuracy, by developing a PII classification model trained with an enhanced and effective training dataset. An enhanced sub-metadata from the metadata having the plurality of the column names is obtained by using highest match distance values, the string comparator values, and the is PII indicator values. The enhanced sub-metadata comprising the column names that can be easily differentiated as PII columns or non-PII columns. Hence the training dataset and the testing dataset obtained from the enhanced sub-metadata improves the accuracy of the PII classification model. Preventive measures can be taken to protect such detected PII present under the PII columns by employing various data privacy and protection techniques.
