Data discovery & data classification

Still waiting on your discovery and classification "software?"

No more endless implementations with legacy tools. No more stale spreadsheets or tedious, manual workflows.

Data discovery and data classification are foundational for privacy and governance programs. But traditional methods are problematic.

Manual surveys and spreadsheets are incomplete and immediately out-of-date. And they're not integrated with privacy software, making risk assessments, ROPAs, and PIAs difficult.

Today’s privacy landscape is complex enough. Modern privacy programs require efficient and dynamic data discovery that flexibly connects to data sets, offers centralized control, and enables privacy use cases such as data subject rights fulfillment, security controls, records of processing, and risk assessments.

It’s time for a modern, scalable, and futureproof approach to data discovery and classification.

You’ll have a comprehensive view of personal data processing and consent information, with efficient, always-on documentation.

Centralized control, decentralized data

No parallel data lakes; manage controls from a central interface.

Let your data stay where it is, while you make decisions in a central policy engine, such as data formats like masking and tokenization, and enabling purpose-based access control.

Set policy and enforce internal access according to data processing purpose. Set security parameters on data access including plain, masked, tokenized, encrypted, or statistically anonymized.
