INTELLIGENT FILE SCANNER
ASP IDMC
Discover Sensitive Data Everywhere — Including the Content Powering AI.
Extend Informatica Cloud Data Governance & Catalog (CDGC) with ASP’s enterprise-grade scanning engine to consistently discover and classify sensitive data across repositories and file types — including content used across AI initiatives.








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.

DEEP CONTENT INSPECTION


Precision Dictionaries
Use ASP precision dictionaries to improve classification accuracy and reduce false positives.
ADVANCED CLASSIFICATION ACCURACY. INSTANT VALIDATION.

Matched 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"
Matched Value: 4111-1111-1111-1111

Custom Detection Logic
Create and maintain custom regex patterns, rules, and dictionaries. Apply advanced logic like dependency aware and context-based rules to further increase classification accuracy.
