Thanks everyone, really appreciate the responses.

Unfortunately I think the only way I can do it is via a regular expression as I am applying it to pre-defined field within a cloud based email security gateway.
Sorry I should have been more detailed in my post.

In answer to one of your questions, the email gateway supports two types of regex syntax Java and Perl.

In the regex I don't need to include looking for the words "TFN" or "Tax File Number" as I can do this via the word / phrase match list on the email gateway.
https://community.mimecast.com/docs/DOC-1613#jive_content_id_Regular_Expressions_Text_Matches

In summary, it will match the regex string defined and match the words TFN or Tax file number and then flag it for the user to review.

I assigned a value for the trigger otherwise known as an activation score which is currently configured as "2" the regex is worth 1 activation point and the words “TFN” and/or “Tax File Number” are both worth another activation point thus triggering the rule if the regex string is matched + either of the words.

From the email gateway.
# search for TFNs
1 regex (\d{8,9})|(\d\d\d[ ]\d\d\d[ ]\d\d\d)|(\d\d\d[-]\d\d\d[-]\d\d\d)
# search for words "TFN" and/or "Tax File Number"
1 "Tax File Number"
1 "TFN"

The three formats I’ve configured to look for the tfns are
123 456 782
123456782
123-456-782
