Understanding the importance of data discovery

 

What is data discovery?

 

Data discovery is the process of finding, collecting and consolidating data from multiple sources across the business.

With massive growth in data distributed across applications and collaboration software, on-premise and in the cloud, and with more and more data held by employees outside of the workplace, it is becoming increasingly difficult to keep track of sensitive data. Discovering what data you have and where it is held is the first step in ensuring that you are able to properly control and protect it. This is where data discovery solutions can help.

By understanding where your data is, it is then possible to carry out data classification and put policies in place to control how your data will be used and protected.

What is data classification?

 

Data classification tools let users categorise documents as they are created and provides a fully automated classification system.

By classifying data you can implement policies to ensure the correct use of sensitive information across all your company’s trusted data repositories whether on-premise or in the cloud.

What are the benefits of data discovery solutions?

 

Traditionally the process of data discovery was carried out manually, with data specialists identifying what data is available, where it is stored and pulling the specific data types required for the end user.  The advent of data discovery solutions has automated this process, eliminating the need for lengthy manual processes.  Data discovery solutions enable you to automatically discover data, extract it and prepare it for risk profiling or data migration.

Data discovery solutions make it easy to identify data in different scenarios, including:

  • Data on-premise, in cloud applications, on endpoints, servers and network file shares
  • Structured and unstructured data types
  • Sensitive data in collaborative workplace software

Who should use data discovery solutions?

 

Data discovery solutions are suitable for small, medium and large enterprises in a range of different projects.  Consider data discovery solutions if you are looking to:

  • Understand and control the data you have in the cloud, as well as on-premise
  • Prepare data ready for cloud migration and digital transformation
  • Understand where your data is to better adhere to data privacy regulations and be able to respond quickly to subject access requests and avoid fines
  • Know where your sensitive data is to protect it against outsider and insider threats as well as data leaks through human error
  • Safeguard high-value information, such as patents, intellectual property, software code, and so on

User self-remediation – continuous compliance and data security awareness

 

Data discovery

Once sensitive or confidential information is discovered across your systems, real time data alerts are sent to data owners for immediate action. Share your data security workload with data owners and reduce IT administration.

User self-remediation – how it works

With SecurEnvoy Data Discovery you can simply track sensitive data from the time it is created, through to modification and deletion.

  • Data users are automatically alerted to the discovery of sensitive data by email, in real time.
  • Users who understand the data and its context can check and remediate sensitive data themselves, becoming active members of the data security team.
  • Your staff are actively involved and constantly reminded of the importance of data protection.
