PII Scanner

Find every place personal data is hiding

Personal data does not stay where you put it. It leaks into log files, CSV exports, staging databases and support tickets. The scanner reads your sources in place, recognises Indian identifiers specifically, and hands you a ranked list of what to fix first.

What PII Scanner does

Four capabilities that together close this obligation — and feed the same audit log every other module writes to.

Book a walkthrough
  • 40+ Indian PII types

    Aadhaar, PAN, GSTIN, UPI handles, IFSC, voter ID, driving licence, ABHA — recognised natively, not by a generic English-language pattern set.

  • Severity ranking

    A column of Aadhaar numbers in an unencrypted export outranks a first name in a marketing list, and the queue is ordered that way.

  • Scans where PII hides

    Databases, object storage, spreadsheets, log files, backups and helpdesk attachments — not just the tables you remembered.

  • One-click to inventory

    Confirmed findings import straight into Data Inventory, so discovery feeds the RoPA instead of becoming another report.

  • Sampled, never copied

    Classification runs against samples inside your environment. Only metadata leaves — never the values themselves.

  • Scheduled rescans

    Run weekly or after every release, so a new field added on Friday is flagged on Monday rather than at audit.

From zero to live pii scanner

  1. 120 min

    Point it at a source

    Read-only credentials for one database, bucket or drive to start.

  2. 22 hours

    Run the first scan

    Findings come back grouped by PII type and ranked by severity.

  3. 310 min

    Push to inventory

    Confirm the true positives and they land in your data inventory with owners attached.

What changes on day one

Without PII Scanner

  • Personal data turns up in log files during an incident
  • Nobody knows which exports contain Aadhaar or PAN
  • Discovery is a one-off consulting exercise that ages immediately

With PII Scanner

  • Every store scanned on a schedule you set
  • Findings ranked by real risk, not alphabetically
  • Confirmed data flows straight into the RoPA

Common questions

What teams ask before rolling out PII Scanner. If yours is not here, ask us — a person answers, not a form.

No. Classification runs on samples inside your environment and only metadata — field names, types, counts, confidence — is stored.

What the 30 minutes looks like

  1. 0–5Your stack, in your wordsWhere data lands today, and who already owns it.
  2. 5–15One real flow, mapped liveWe connect a sample source and build the map on the call.
  3. 15–25Where you are exposedThe gaps we can see, ranked — including the ones you already knew.
  4. 25–30Effort and costWhat closing them takes, and whether we are the right answer.

If we are not the right fit, we will say so on the call rather than three follow-ups later.
