Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use Risk Analysis to help me understand over-permissioned or overexposed access?

Yes, excessive permissions can be discovered during the data discovery process, and unprotected or overexposed data can be highlighted for remediation.

How does Risk Analysis help reduce my risk?

Sensitive data must be known and controlled to help comply with data management best practices and privacy regulations, like GDPR and CCPA. Once known, you can validate that appropriate access controls and lifecycle event policies, like retention or deletion, are applied and followed.

Can I use Risk Analysis to search for any kind of data, or just sensitive data?

Risk Analysis can be configured to search metadata or full file data, including its contents. File contents can be indexed to allow for general searching, and images can be made searchable with OCR capabilities within Risk Analysis.
