Locate and secure your data
Discover, classify, and protect your data across your entire IT estate.
Why Data Discovery & Protection
Control how your data is stored, shared,
and used – across any platform.
Discover, map, and classify your data
Discovery of sensitive data (PI, IP, PII, PHI, PCI, and others) is a critical first-step in the battle to keep sensitive data private, secure, and in compliance.
Make informed decisions about data
protection controls
Classify and tag data based on business criticality. Understand the aggregate level of data risk for your organization and meet regulatory compliance requirements.
Meet compliance and regulatory needs
Visibility into data privacy compliance through dashboards, heat maps, and reports helping to comply to laws, industry and regulatory requirements (PDPA, GDPR, PCI/DSS, Internal/External).
Enable continual data risk and security assurance
Continuously discover and classify new data. Monitor and track remediation, protection, and reporting.
Control the sprawl of your data
and uncover sensitive data risks.
Armor's data-centric approach to security focuses your investment around protecting the most critical data. Continuously discover data:
- 01across every endpoint and cloud platform
- 02use smart on-device inspection to classify
- 03enforce policies for proper data handling
The Armor Data Security agent creates a mesh network and securely reports telemetry and metadata back to the Armor platform for analysis.
Ensure your data always has proper protection. Best practice and customer-defined policies are pushed to each endpoint including:
enforced encryption- redaction
- quarantine
- alerting actions defined by the policy
What is data discovery?
Data discovery involves identifying and locating sensitive or regulated data to adequately protect or securely remove it.
What is data protection?
The key principle of data protection is safeguarding data as well as making it available under all circumstances.

Overview
Crawl Client and Server Endpoints
The Armor Data Security agent will inspect the file systems on your Windows, Linux, and macOS endpoints.
Search Apps and Databases
Leverage out-of-the-box integration with common applications and search data stored in any database with an ODBC-compatible driver.
Crawl Data in Cloud Platforms
The Armor Data Security agent can also be configured to scan data stored in cloud collaboration and storage platforms, such as G Suite, Microsoft 365, Exchange, and more.
Scan Cloud Storage and Source Control
Scan cloud data repositories like Amazon S3, Box, Dropbox and more. Additionally, scan other git-compatible source control repositories to ensure no sensitive data is embedded in the code of your applications.

Define classifications and policies.
Identify sensitive data within files using advanced pattern matching and inspection techniques.
Use our robust out-of-the-box rule library or create custom rules from:
Then classify each type of data to inherit remediation and alerting policies.
Match Conditions within Files
Create rules using Regular Expressions, keyword dictionaries, metadata signatures, and more.
More Than String Matches
Leverage built-in and custom functions to truly
validate a match, thus limiting false positives.
Multi-Pass Rules Limit CPU Usage
Gate conditions and short-circuit complex logic to
optimize CPU load on the scanning endpoint.
Assign Classifications
Assign custom classification tags and set define zones
in which data of a given class is permitted to reside, the
permitted staleness of data in a zone, and more.
Automatically remediate misplaced data.
Once data has been discovered and classified, you can configure one or more of the following actions:
- encryption
- redaction
- quarantine
- alerting
Encrypt Sensitive Data In-Place
Encrypt data in place using a zone-specific or single-use key. It can be decrypted for review and final disposition and kept protected by encryption until review.
Redact Sensitive Data from the File
For some types of data, it may be appropriate to simply redact the information from the file. This can also be used in conjunction with other rule actions.
Quarantine the File
Files can either have permissions set that prevent user access or can be securely relocated to a specified network location for further review.
Create an Alert
For early-maturity rules, simply sending an alert for manual review is often the safest course of action. Again, this action can be used in conjunction with other actions and eventually replaced when the rule reaches maturity.
