What can we expect to find?
You cannot say in advance what DataMapper will find. But from experience we can see that on average 5% of all documents, emails and images contain sensitive information.
What should I do with files containing sensitive information?
You should first get a handle on where the files with the sensitive information are located and who has access to the files. This will help you decide whether to restrict access to the files, delete data or otherwise. DataMapper can help you with all of this.
Should I delete files with sensitive information?
Not necessarily. Privacy regulations makes you responsible for protecting the data with sensitive information shared with you. Your company probably needs to store certain information – information about employees and customers, for example – in order to function normally.
However, it is normal for companies to have sensitive data that they should no longer have. How long you store data depends on the data rules that apply to your companies.
If you store sensitive data for too long, even if it is stored securely and not misused, you may still be in breach of the requirements. By reducing the amount of sensitive data you collect and store, you can minimize the damage from a data breach.
Why does it ask me to add names of employees and customers?
Sensitive data is not in itself sensitive information. It only happens when they are put in relation to a person. By adding names, data is put into relation. This enables DataMapper to categorize whether or not sensitive data is sensitive information.
If no names are entered, DataMapper can still find high-risk documents by searching your systems for sensitive keywords. For example, keywords related to medical conditions and personal history. But you get a more complete result by entering the names of, for example, employees and customers.
How many users should I add?
The administrator can invite all employees who have a company email to use DataMapper.
Is DataMapper difficult to set up?
No, with DataMapper you can get started on your own in just a few minutes. If you have any questions during or after implementation, our customer support team is always ready to help.
