Find sensitive data before regulators do.
The data discovery platform for lean teams. Scan endpoints for the personal, card, and health data you hold — map your exposure and export audit-ready evidence in hours.
The problem
Sensitive data spreads faster than you think it does.
A DSAR arrives on a Friday afternoon. You have 30 days to respond. Where does the clock start when you don't know where the data is?
Uncontrolled data sprawl
Employee files, exports, and downloads scatter sensitive data across hundreds of devices — the exact data auditors and attackers both come looking for.
30-day DSAR clock
Data subject requests arrive without warning. Manual searches take weeks you don't have.
Audit evidence on demand
Regulators want proof, not promises. Without continuous scanning you're building reports from memory.
The alternative
Enterprise compliance tools weren't built for you.

How it works
From install to evidence — typically in an afternoon.
No consultants. No 6-month deployments. A lightweight agent, a policy you can read, and a dashboard that doesn't lie.
Install the lightweight agent
A lightweight agent deploys via your existing MDM in minutes. No firewall changes. No outbound data. Scans run entirely on-device.
Scan for sensitive data
Select a policy — GDPR, PCI — and scan. Finds emails, IDs, card numbers, and health data across files.
Get your risk score & evidence pack
Findings are deduplicated, risk-ranked, and mapped to regulation articles. Export an audit-ready evidence pack for auditors.
Expand your coverage
Beyond personal data, across every framework.
Start with core data discovery. Layer in PCI DSS cardholder scanning, mailbox discovery, and OCR as your needs grow.
PCI DSS Add-on
Detect cardholder data across endpoints with PCI DSS 4.0 rule packs.
Mailbox Add-on
