Data Discovery & Classification
Understand the sensitive data you have and control its lifecycle
Visibility into your data, where it is, and who has access to it is foundational to your business. Automatically inventory and classify your data to enable the responsible use across its entire lifecycle.
- Use AI to discover and classify data across your structured, unstructured, and semi-structured data
- Automatically tag data with regulatory context, sensitivity, or custom classifiers
- Identify at-risk data, enforce security controls, and monitor for drift over time with advanced analytics
Scalable, smart data discovery
Discover personal, sensitive, and other data in unstructured file shares, structured databases, big data storage, SaaS applications, and other cloud solutions. Scan complex data, including PDFs, ZIP files, and images with full OCR capabilities. From megabytes to petabytes, Data Discovery & Classification scales to meet the demands of even the largest enterprise datasets.
Full data visibility means greater confidence across data and security programs
Data Discovery & Classification has scanning capabilities that go far beyond just capturing metadata. Our technology goes to field- and file-level depth to increase data visibility, improves classification accuracy, and enables true DSAR automation.
No matter what technology you use for data storage, OneTrust gives you the ability to discover, classify, and catalog data from virtually any system in your organization. Coverage of your data sources is possible via pre-built connectors into popular structured and unstructured data sources, like Snowflake, Salesforce, SAP, Box, AWS S3, Google Drive, Microsoft SQL, OneDrive, and hundreds more. And for bespoke or custom data stores, Data Discovery & Classification has open SDK for any organization to build their own connectors.
Integrate with our Privacy Management tools or other existing ticketing and ITSM tools like ServiceNow or Zendesk to identify, track, and fulfill consumer and data subject requests. Communicate and share request deliverables via a secure messaging portal.
Use data analysis to enrich metadata, map to business glossaries, and give business users control of relevant data. Enforce controls like encryption, masking, and access controls and build a real-time data visualization map or record of processing activities to better understand privacy requirements.
Deep structured and unstructured data discovery and classification capabilities, powered by regulatory intelligence from the world’s largest source of regulatory research, can easily be integrated with other third-party catalogs and data management tools.
