Enterprise Sensitive Data Discovery Across Structured and Unstructured Files
Enterprise file content spans repositories, formats, archives, and attachments — and increasingly powers AI, RAG, copilots, and knowledge assistants. Organizations need a consistent, highly accurate way to discover and classify sensitive data across all of it.
THE CHALLENGE
THE ASP SOLUTION
ASP’s Intelligent File Scanner extends CDGC with deep content inspection across repositories and file types — discovering and classifying sensitive data inside documents, archives, and attachments using precision dictionaries, matched-value validation, and advanced context-aware rules.
57 Different File Types and 71 Extensions!
Inspect structured and unstructured files including PDF (Text & Images), Word, JPG, PNG, Webp, PowerPoint, Excel, Google Docs, Sheets, Slides, TXT, CSV, XML, JSON, MSG, SQL, PARQUET, HTML, PST, OST, and many more!
Archive Inspection
Automatically unpack and inspect archives including ZIP, RAR, 7Z, TAR, GZ, BZ2, XZ and more with recursive, multi-level extraction.
Outlook Email & Attachment Inspection
Scan and classify Outlook PST and OST files, including email messages and embedded attachments, to ensure nothing is missed.
DEEP CONTENT INSPECTION
Precision Dictionaries
Use ASP precision dictionaries to improve classification accuracy and reduce false positives.
ADVANCED CLASSIFICATION ACCURACY. INSTANT VALIDATION.
Discovered Value Attribute
Capture the actual value or pattern that triggered the classification. The Matched Value attribute lets you instantly validate why data was classified—improving transparency and trust.
Example: "Credit Card Number"
Discovered Value: 4111-1111-1111-1111
Custom Detection Logic
Create and maintain custom regex patterns, rules, and dictionaries. Apply advanced logic such as dependency-aware and context-based rules to further increase classification accuracy. Create file-level composite classifications when defined combinations of detected classifications are present, such as Location or Contact.
