Find Sensitive Data Before It Becomes Your Next Risk

Data You Cannot Find Is Data You Cannot Control

Sensitive information does not always stay where it was supposed to. It can be copied into spreadsheets, saved in shared folders, exported from databases, stored in cloud drives, attached to emails, hidden in scanned documents, or left behind on local machines. Over time, this creates blind spots.

  • GTB helps organizations uncover those blind spots by discovering and classifying sensitive information such as PII, PHI, PCI, financial data, customer records, employee information, source code, intellectual property, legal documents, research files, and confidential business content.
  • Discovery shows where sensitive data lives and classification helps organizations decide what should happen next.
  • Support data security policies, DLP enforcement, audit preparation, compliance readiness, access control decisions, cloud migration reviews, incident investigation, and risk prioritization.

Discovery and Classification Built for Real Enterprise Environments

01

GTB helps organizations scan and identify sensitive data across structured, semi-structured, and unstructured repositories, then classify that data based on content, sensitivity, and business risk.

02

This includes local PCs, endpoints, file shares, Exchange, PST and OST files, SharePoint, databases, cloud services, Box, Dropbox, Azure, Office 365, OneDrive, Google Drive, and other enterprise environments.

03

GTB uses advanced inspection, document fingerprinting, exact data matching, OCR, and classification to identify sensitive information with high precision. This helps organizations reduce unnecessary noise and focus on real data security risk.

04

Finding sensitive data is only useful if organizations can act on it. GTB helps move from visibility to control with remediation options that may include classification, reporting, alerts, file copy, file move, deletion, quarantine, encryption, redaction, DRM, or policy enforcement depending on environment and configuration.

05

This allows organizations to reduce exposure, prepare for audits, clean up data sprawl, protect high-value information, and support data security programs with practical action.
