Find Sensitive Data In Places It Should Never Be.
Sensitive data often ends up in "temporary" folders or public shares by mistake. Risk Finder identifies PII sitting in prohibited or high-risk zones so you can see exactly where your security policy is being ignored.
Find data where it doesn't belong.
How Does Sensitive Data End Up In the Wrong Place?
It happens every day. Someone copies a file "just for a minute" and forgets about it. A developer downloads production data to debug locally. An analyst exports customer records to a shared folder.
Public Shares
SSNs and medical records in company-wide shared folders. Anyone with network access can see them.
Temp Folders
"Temporary" exports that have been sitting there for months. Download folders full of sensitive reports.
Local Desktops
Production data on developer laptops. Customer lists on sales team desktops. PHI on personal drives.
Misplaced Data = Easy Target
"35% of sensitive data found by security teams exists in locations that violate their own data handling policies. This policy-violating data is typically the first target in a breach because it lacks proper access controls."
Your security policy is only as good as your enforcement.
How Risk Finder Detects Misplaced Data
Scan your entire environment and instantly see which sensitive data exists in prohibited locations.
1. Scan All Locations
Deploy the Docker scanner to file shares, cloud storage, and endpoints. 150+ classifiers find every type of sensitive data — SSNs, tax forms, medical records, credentials, and more.
2. Map Data to Locations
Get a complete inventory showing exactly which files contain sensitive data and their full path. See the data type, count, and risk score for each.
3. Identify Policy Violations
Compare results against your policy. Sensitive data in /temp, /public, or unapproved cloud storage? Now you know exactly where.
Common Misplacements We Find
High-Risk Locations
- SSNs and W-2 forms in /Downloads folders
- ICD-10 codes and blood test results in shared drives
- Credit cards and IBANs in email attachments
- API keys and passwords in plain-text configs
Unauthorized Storage
- 1099 and 1040 tax forms in personal cloud
- EU national IDs exported to dev environments
- Driver's licenses in unapproved SaaS tools
- Geo-location data in wrong regions
Scan Every Corner. One Flat Fee.
No Blind Spots
Scan temp folders, desktops, shared drives — everywhere data hides.
Data Stays Local
Scanner runs in your environment. Sensitive data never leaves.
Scan Repeatedly
Re-scan after cleanup to verify misplaced data is gone.
Per-GB pricing forces you to skip "low priority" locations. Flat-fee pricing means you can scan everything — including the places you'd normally skip.
