We licensed IdentityFinder which contains a web module that will allow you to crawl your sites in search of SSNs, credit card numbers, 
etc.  We originally licensed the solution to allow faculty and staff to scan for PII on their desktops and laptops but are starting to 
look at the web module functionality now too.  I'm not intimately involved in this project but could probably get you answers to 
any questions.  There is also a database module but I don't believe we've tested that functionality yet.

Hope this helps.
