Data Inventory Overview

Introduction to Data Inventory

Your Data Inventory is the base truth of all data in your company: data silos, the datapoints inside them, and metadata about what each datapoint represents. This is the system-level reality, and it powers other features across the Transcend platform, from keeping your ROPA live-updated to generating Consent rules for that newly-added advertising platform to encoding erasure logic in your data warehouse.

Data Discovery

The Data Inventory can be automatically populated via data discovery, using Transcend's suite of discovery products:

• Silo Discovery finds your databases, SaaS tools, and vendors.
• Structured Discovery scans your databases and SaaS tools and classifies the data stored inside them, right down to the field or column level.
• Unstructured Discovery scans your unstructured file stores to find and classify personal data inside documents.
