Small and large businesses use sensitive data discovery software to uncover the location of their critical data, often to comply with common industry regulatory standards for data protection and privacy; these include the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA); General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR); Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA); standards from the International Organization for Standardization (ISO); and others. Information security teams typically deploy and manage sensitive data discovery software, while privacy teams may request data from the reports. These solutions search for on-site databases, cloud storage, email servers, websites, applications, and more structured, semi-structured, and unstructured data.
