The Need for Unstructured Data “Discovery”
It is estimated approx. 80% of enterprise data is unstructured, and is growing by 60% per year. With the digital transformation that has gathered at pace for all organisations, managing the silos of information spreading across the enterprise is more important than ever and paradoxically more challenging without an appropriate technology solution and approach.
Whether to improve management of out-of-control silos today, reporting on sensitivity, security and ownership risk, breach impacts or preparing to archive, migrate and decommission legacy file shares and EDRM platforms, you need to make decisions, fast. The first is to determine the best technology and approach to support a timely and frictionless journey to successfully implement automation within your information governance strategy.
Only by performing discovery and analysis holistically across legacy, hybrid and cloud environments will your organisation be able to ensure measurable and effective decision-making becomes a reality for your future information governance needs. Appraising your current informational value and risk by mapping data to policies, regulations and processes are all primary requirements. Your first step is discovery.
With intuitive, real-time dashboards, underpinned by dynamic categorisation engine and fast indexing of metadata and content for all unstructured data repositories, Datalift enables discovery and analysis for the insights needed to support business transformation plans for improved information governance.
Using Datalift, data can be segmented using micro or macro level rules using simple refiners, or with advanced queries against a combination of metadata and content. Datalift provides a powerful index so you can instantly find and categorise data based on age, security access, duplication, file types, location, containing sensitive information i.e. personally identifiable information (PII) and payment holder information (PCI). Using any combination of keyword phrases and patterns relevant to your business you can now align data to existing regulatory mappings, retention schedules or processing activities for the first time.
For the first time, Datalift will provide the visualisation needed to help understand your data and subsequently discover potential cost savings and analyse your risk exposure.
