Structured Discovery

Structured Discovery continuously detects and classifies all objects and properties inside a given database.

Introduction to Structured Discovery

Structured Discovery automatically scans and classifies data across your databases and SaaS tools, giving your team complete visibility into what personal data you store and where it resides. The feature works in two key steps:

1. Schema Discovery: First, it scans your connected data systems to map out its schema (i.e., tables, columns, or objects and properties).
2. Intelligent Classification: Then, it analyzes and categorizes the discovered datapoints using multiple classification methods

This continuous discovery process helps you maintain an accurate inventory for privacy compliance, identify sensitive data locations, and manage data minimization efforts.
