Data Discovery & Classification
Quantum Evolve helps better understand the data landscape within organisations, ascertaining what data you have, where it resides, and how it is shared both internall and externally
What is Data Discovery & Classification
Understanding the data landscape is a challenge for any organisation. It encompasses knowing what data you have (customer information, financial records, etc.), where it resides across various systems and storage locations, and how it is shared internally and externally.
This knowledge is critical for several reasons. Firstly, it allows for effective data governance, ensuring data accuracy, security, and responsible use. Secondly, it facilitates regulatory compliance with data privacy laws like GDPR, HIPPA or CCPA. Finally, by understanding data flows, you can optimise data-driven decision making and identify potential security risks associated with unauthorised data sharing. Data awareness empowers organisations to harness the full potential of their information while mitigating legal and security concerns.
What we do
Using agentless API connections for data intake, we use sophisticated natural language processing capabilities (a type of deep learning) accurately and autonomously categorises data into over 250 categories, including data such as sensitive (PII, PCI etc.), Intellectual Property, Financial Information, Legal Agreements, Human Resource Records, Sales Strategies, Partnership or Merger Plans and other business sensitive information.
Even if it is hidden in structured or unstructured data stores, we discover and categorise all an organisation’s data — without rules, regular expressions, user input, or IT staff overheads.
Key Features of Data Discovery & Classification
Discovery
How much data you have in each of the information sources it connects to identifies the age of files.• Highlights the number of duplicate files. • Shows the existence of Personal Identifiable Information (PII). • Gives clarity over your entire data asset estate. • Make informed decisions utilising your data more efficiently.
Search
Search all your data, no matter where it is saved. • Connects to any number of different internal and external systems. • Searches over 300 file types. • Returns results in seconds. • Uses plain English search capabilities. • Configured to understand the language of your organisation and sector.
Evolve(optional)
Transform time-consuming, manual back-end organisational processes with our workflow automation tool. • Automate the required processes through a user-centric workflow system. • Increase compliance. • Reduce the risks of fines
