Proliferation of data stored on-premise in unsanctioned shadow IT, unknown repositories, or third-party SaaS and Cloud solutions makes adhering to risk and compliance policies next to impossible. DataStealth's Data Discovery and Classification is a seamless way to find and classify your data, supported by an intelligent classification engine.
If you can't find all your data, you can't classify it or protect it. DataStealth discovers known and unknown data sources, so you can discover everywhere with certainty.
Once found, DataStealth classifies your data with named-entity recognition technology with virtually no false positives.
Privacy-first legislation like PIPEDA or GDPR makes discovery and classification of your customer data vital.
Start with a simple DNS change, with no code changes, no integration with APIs or collectors, and no changes in user behaviours.
Find data from structured and unstructured sources,
without needing to supply locations to search.
Find all data sources by scanning network segments and ports, identifying all operating services whether known or unknown.
Locate databases, file stores, and other sources of data.
Create a robust inventory report of all data sources to be used for classification or be fed into your inventory management system.
Find what you're looking for with more certainty
using our robust methodology.
Classify data based on its surrounding data.
Use algorithms, checksums, and patterns to validate data values.
Assign a confidence score supported by validity and contextual awareness for decision making.
Compatible with major network protocols and payloads, including databases, filestores, and various file types.
Designed to scale both vertically and horizontally, accommodating increased workloads efficiently.
Utilizes fragmented, distributed storage with built-in resiliency and redundancy, ensuring data remains secure and computationally unbreachable.
Features a key management system aligned with NIST SP 800-57 standards, supporting both internal and external key integration with rigorously encrypted single-vault architecture and multi-party authentication.
Capable of discovering data from both structured and unstructured sources without requiring predefined search locations.
DataStealth’s Data Discovery and Classification solution is a platform designed to locate and classify both known and unknown sources of sensitive data in your organization. It operates seamlessly across on-premises environments, third-party SaaS applications, and cloud infrastructure reducing the complexity of finding and categorizing data.
With data scattered in on-premise “shadow IT,” unknown repositories, and multiple cloud services, it’s increasingly difficult to ensure compliance with privacy regulations such as PIPEDA or GDPR. The ability to discover, inventory, and classify data comprehensively is essential for mitigating risks and adhering to these legislative requirements.
DataStealth's solution begins by discovering both known and unknown data sources, ensuring comprehensive data discovery.
Once the data repositories are located, it uses named-entity recognition technology to detect and classify individual data elements with high accuracy, minimizing false positives. This approach enables organizations to confidently manage and protect their data.
The solution is designed to handle both structured and unstructured data. It can locate various file types, databases, and other repositories across multiple environments, providing accurate classification regardless of data format.
Yes. DataStealth’s data discovery and classification functions uniformly whether scanning on-premises environments or cloud-based infrastructures (including third-party SaaS solutions). This consistency simplifies the process of creating an end-to-end inventory of your data assets.
DataStealth leverages named-entity recognition technology supported by contextual awareness, validity scoring, and confidence scoring. This multi-faceted approach helps reduce false positives and ensures that sensitive data, like personally identifiable information (PII), is accurately identified.
After scanning, the system generates an inventory report detailing all discovered data sources and their classification results. This inventory can be integrated with your existing management systems or used for ongoing data governance.
This robust methodology allows organizations to classify data confidently, regardless of whether it is structured or unstructured, ensuring reliable results across various data sources.
No. One of the key benefits of DataStealth is that it requires no code changes, no API integrations, and no alterations to existing user behaviors.
DataStealth's data discovery method stands out because it can locate both known and unknown data sources across structured and unstructured formats with virtually no false positives.
Unlike other solutions, it does not require organizations to supply the locations of their data sources beforehand or deploy agents across all data repositories, enabling comprehensive discovery even in shadow IT environments, unknown repositories, or third-party SaaS and cloud solutions.
This seamless approach ensures certainty in finding all data, regardless of its location
DataStealth provides certainty in data discovery and classification, helping organizations comply with privacy-first regulations such as PIPEDA and GDPR.
By effectively identifying and classifying sensitive customer data, it reduces risks associated with data breaches and ensures regulatory compliance.
By discovering and classifying all sensitive data, DataStealth helps organizations comply with privacy-first regulations. Once data is located, appropriate controls can be put in place for data protection, retention, and governance, which form the backbone of compliance efforts.
Now that you understand how DataStealth's Data Discovery and Classification solution works, it's time to take action to protect your organization's data and ensure compliance with privacy regulations.
Here's how to get started:
Don't let unknown data sources put your organization at risk of non-compliance or data breaches. With DataStealth, you can gain complete visibility into your sensitive data landscape across all environments without modifying existing systems or changing user behaviors.
