The problem

Most organizations can name their crown-jewel databases. Almost none can name the export in a personal drive, the customer list pasted into a Slack thread in 2023, or the staging bucket a contractor filled and forgot. Discovery closes the gap between the data you govern and the data you actually have.

How it works

Connect in minutes

API-based connectors attach to SaaS apps, cloud storage, warehouses, and repos without agents or traffic rerouting. Endpoint coverage adds a lightweight agent where you want it.

Sweep continuously

Initial full scans build the inventory; incremental scans track every new file, message, table, and object from then on. No nightly batch blind spots.

Rank what matters

Findings are scored by sensitivity, exposure, and volume, so a public link to payroll data outranks ten thousand internal test fixtures.

Common questions

Does discovery require agents everywhere?

No. SaaS, cloud, and data-platform coverage is API-based. The endpoint agent is only needed for device-level visibility and is optional per fleet.

How fresh is the inventory?

Connectors stream change events where the source supports them and poll incrementally where it does not. Most environments stay within minutes of reality.

Will scanning move my data out of region?

With the private data plane option, content is scanned inside your boundary and only metadata reaches the control plane.
