The visibility gap
Shared files can hide sensitive information in plain sight
OneDrive and SharePoint make it easy to create and share business files. They can also make it difficult for security teams to know where personal, financial, or other protected information has spread.
Instead of relying on file names or manual spot checks, teams get a clear view of which shared locations contain sensitive information and which files need attention.
How it works
Find sensitive files in three steps
Choose the content to inspect, apply your discovery rules, and review each match in context.
-
Scope
Choose where to look
Select the OneDrive files or SharePoint sites and document libraries the team wants to inspect.
-
Discovery
Scan and classify
DataSunrise extracts supported content and checks it against built-in or custom Information Types.
-
Findings
See what needs attention
Review the repository, file path, matched Information Type, and scan result in one searchable inventory.
Inspect Documents, Structured Files, and Images
DataSunrise can inspect common documents and structured files, process archives, and use OCR to read image-based content. Information Types identify sensitive data with built-in definitions or custom patterns, dictionaries, and contextual rules.
For exact format coverage, see File and Object Storage Discovery.
Review, Clean Up, and Report
Use the inventory to review sharing practices, clean up misplaced data, document compliance work, or decide where stronger controls are needed.
Selected findings can also be organized into Object Groups for use in later DataSunrise policies.
