Data Discovery

The initial scan typically completes within 2–4 hours for most organizations. Larger environments with many SaaS tools or large databases may take up to 24 hours for the first full pass. After the initial scan, incremental scans run much faster since only changed data is re-evaluated.

No. TruePrivacy only stores metadata — the location of personal data, the categories detected, and the timestamps of discovery. Raw personal data never leaves your environment. Our scanning agents sample records locally and transmit only classification signals and field-level metadata to our servers.

Yes. You can configure exclusions at the integration level, database level, or even specific table or folder level. This is useful for excluding developer sandboxes, anonymized test environments, or systems that are already governed by a separate process.

Any newly discovered data store triggers an alert sent to the configured privacy team contacts. You can then review the finding, classify it, assign an owner, and decide whether it should be added to your data inventory or flagged for investigation.

Our ML models achieve 99%+ precision on common personal data types such as email addresses, phone numbers, national IDs, and payment card numbers. For more ambiguous fields, confidence scores are shown so your team can review and confirm edge cases.

Yes. The TruePrivacy REST API supports triggering scans, retrieving inventory results, and subscribing to webhook events for new discoveries. This is useful for integrating discovery into your data pipeline or CI/CD workflow when new systems are provisioned.
