Press Release

OneTrust Introduces Access Insights to Identify Data in Violation of Access Policies

Bolster data security by safeguarding sensitive data from unauthorized exposure

October 09, 2023

TrustWeek 2023: OneTrust, the market-defining leader for trust intelligence, introduces Access Insights, a new capability from OneTrust Data Discovery. Access Insights enables visibility into file sharing across cloud collaboration tools, identifies data in violation of access policies, and allows security teams to set automated policies so organizations can easily safeguard sensitive data from unauthorized access. This perspective helps security and data governance teams quickly identify and correct over-exposed data.

"The interplay between privacy, ethics, and security in the digital age has never been more significant,” said Blake Brannon, Chief Product and Strategy Officer at OneTrust. “It's paramount to not only understand where our data resides, but to also be certain of its rightful access and use. Our mission with Access Insights is to bring clarity to the complex data matrix, allowing companies to honor their commitment to responsible data use and establish a culture of trust."

Access Insights helps organizations identify data in violation of access policies and ensure the confidentiality of data:

  • As OneTrust Data Discovery scans and classifies data across cloud collaboration tools like OneDrive, SharePoint, AWS S3, and more, it collects information about files with sensitive data and whether they are being shared internally or externally. These Access Insights are surfaced in intuitive dashboards and reports for easy actioning.
  • Highlight risk hotspots, such as specific users with ownership of highly sensitive data, or which systems or SaaS contain the most sensitive data and warrant additional protections or access control. Security and privacy teams can then set policies restricting sharing or open access to sensitive data automatically.
  • For organizations using a native tool such as Microsoft Purview to manage access to Microsoft files, OneTrust can pass data sensitivity labels or other tags directly into those tools to trigger native enforcement policies.

OneTrust Data Discovery provides the foundation of visibility and control for any data, privacy, or security team. With AI-powered data classification, built-in regulatory intelligence, and automated policy enforcement, Data Discovery delivers the capabilities enterprises need to automate data security and governance. Coupled with category-defining consent, preference, and privacy management, OneTrust Data Discovery enables modern businesses to ensure responsible use of data throughout the entire data lifecycle.
