Continuously Discover and Classify Personal Data Across Systems

Automatically scan structured and unstructured environments to identify and classify personal data across your organization.

DPM Data Discovery is a privacy management module that provides a continuously updated and defensible view of personal data across complex environments. It enables organizations to meet GDPR, PDPL, and other data protection requirements by replacing static, assumption-based inventories with verifiable evidence suitable for audits and regulatory scrutiny.

You Can't Protect What You Don't Know You Have

Organizations cannot protect, govern, or demonstrate compliance for personal data they don’t know exists. As data spreads across structured and unstructured environments, undiscovered personal data becomes an increasing source of operational and regulatory risk.

DPM Data Discovery is designed to restore control and enable informed, accountable decisions about personal data.

Everything You Need to Discover Personal Data at Scale

Automated Personal Data Discovery

Continuously scans your environment to identify where personal data exists, without manual input or sampling.

Automatic Classification

Detects and classifies personal data by type, category, and sensitivity, turning unstructured environments into structured insight.

Works Across Formats and Languages

Databases, documents, scanned files, structured and unstructured data — across multiple languages.

Uncovers Dark Data

Reveals hidden or forgotten data and undocumented processing activities that would otherwise remain invisible.

From Static Inventory to a Live Data Map

Data Never Leaves Your Network

All discovery activities run within your environment. No third-party data extraction and no external processing.

Privacy-by-Design Architecture

Built specifically for privacy operations, not repurposed from security or eDiscovery tools.

Verifiable Audit Trail

Every discovery result is traceable and defensible, making it suitable for audits and regulatory scrutiny.

Proven in High-Compliance Environments

Deployed in regulated industries where auditability and evidence are mandatory.

Business Impact

Fewer compliance assumptions and less reliance on manual validation during audits

More accurate and maintainable privacy records across systems and repositories

Reduced exposure to undocumented processing activities and unmanaged personal data

Faster audit preparation supported by traceable, system-generated evidence

Significant reduction in manual discovery and validation effort (up to 90% in complex environments)

Best for

Organizations with complex IT environments, large volumes of unstructured personal data, and regulatory obligations that require defensible visibility into where personal data exists — particularly in finance, healthcare, telecom, and large enterprise settings.
