I Used to Secure Data for Thousands of Servers — Here’s the Tool I Wish I’d Had

Before building Inspect-Data, I worked in large enterprises securing data — and with solution builders like McAfee and Digital Guardian developing products to protect it.

Thinking back, when I was responsible for securing data across thousands of systems, I always looked for tools that were quick, simple, and didn’t require another training session or budget request.

There was never enough time, never enough people, and too many platforms to maintain — OS patching, endpoint agents, network tools, compliance dashboards… you name it.

What Would Have Been Magical

If back then I had a Docker container that could identify patient names near their diagnoses and precise ICD-10 codes, it would’ve been magical.

• No platform to learn.
• No installs.
• No waiting for a change-control board to approve something.

Just a single command and instant insight to confirm none of my servers contained PHI.

And no more fighting through thousands of false positives — that alone would’ve been a huge win.

Built for the People Who Keep Systems Running

So to all my friends in ops, admin, and security, this one’s for you.

• Try it out.
• Break it.
• Tell us what works and what doesn’t.

We built this for the people who keep systems running and data safe — because I’ve been there too.
