What it does
- Scans both structured and unstructured data sources (databases, documents, emails, PDFs, scans, etc.).
- Identifies and classifies personal data automatically, across multiple languages and scripts.
- Detects “dark data” and shadow processing you might not know exists.
Why it matters
- Gives you a fact-based view of personal data processing, rather than relying on manual surveys
- Reduces regulatory and reputational risk by surfacing unmanaged personal data
- Builds a trustworthy foundation for Records of Processing, DPIAs, DSAR handling, and retention.
Key outcomes
- Clear visibility of personal data across the organisation.
