DSPM Discovery

DSPM Discovery gives security teams a single place to see sensitive data across connected repositories, understand how it is classified, and act on exposures. It combines scanning, labeling, and visual analytics so you can move from a bird's eye view to file level details without leaving the console.

Overview of DSPM​

Data Security Posture Management discovers sensitive data wherever it lives, maps who can access or move it, and highlights exposures before they become incidents. DSPM Discovery supports this flow by:

  • Building an inventory of data objects in connected repositories.
  • Applying labels for data type, provenance, pattern matches, and sensitivity.
  • Visualizing how data and locations relate so you can focus on the highest risk areas.
  • Providing drill downs that show objects, access, and label details for fast investigation.

Features​

  • Explorer shows a landscape view of data objects and locations grouped by labels so you can spot concentrations and outliers.
  • Data lists all discovered objects with rich filtering, grouping, and sorting for deep analysis.
  • Datastore highlights each connected repository with its label mix and object counts.
  • Label details and match counts stay visible as you browse so you know why items are prioritized.

Benefits​

  • Gain fast visibility into what you have and where it lives.
  • Identify sensitive or regulated content by label without running separate searches.
  • Trace risk back to the source location and take targeted remediation steps.
  • Use the same labels across Explorer, Data, and Datastore for consistent decisions.

Use cases​

  • Assess data risk posture after onboarding new connectors.
  • Track how many critical or high sensitivity objects sit in specific repositories.
  • Investigate a label set, such as PII or internal provenance, and follow it down to individual files.
  • Share a single view of posture with CISOs, admins, and analysts.
