Industry experts on DataMapper

"DataMapper is, in my professional opinion, an excellent tool that can be of great help to a company in terms of cleaning up its data.

DataMapper uses artificial intelligence to find text strings related to sensitive personal data. It means that you can look out for how you handle your personal data relatively quickly, with few funds and without much insight into data regulation. DataMapper alone is not enough to ensure compliance, but it is a good step on the way there.”

DataMapper is easy to use, and over the past few years, it has become a great, innovative, and effective tool.

Casper NielsenIT Supporter & Facility Manager at Storstrøm Forsikring

We were very pleased with how DataMapper works. We began a process where we scan our data at least once a month. After each scan, we are presented with a list of the files that contain personal sensitive data. We can then choose to delete or move the files. We are also able to see when the files were created and who has access to them, which is a big help in identifying any security risks. DataMapper makes it easier for us to comply with GDPR.

Mette DavidsenOffice Assistent at Backupvikar

DataMapper [have] created an overview, and made us aware of various practices, created discussions regarding (…) the work with privacy management.

Philip Dysted FrankIT Manager at Basen.dk

We use Datamapper to scan our emails and drives for GDPR content. It was super easy to install and easy to access. At first, we used it to clean up everything that had accumulated over time. Now we use it continuously to ensure that we comply with our own rules. I can definitely recommend Datamapper. Safe Online were great at helping us get started and when we have questions, they respond quickly.

Kristian HansenCoordinator at Dansk Søredningsselskab

We are an IT and BI consultancy that we receive new personal data every day that we must handle correctly. DataMapper is a smart solution that easily gives us an overview of our sensitive personal data in our company. When it comes to GDPR compliance, DataMapper solves a key task for us.

Pelle EilandCEO, Fairpeople

After we scanned with DataMapper, I was a little unsure what now? But then I discovered that there were some different folders that would be good to get "locked" so that not everyone can just access them. Then I found out that we could use one of our other solutions to store important information on customers, so that it is not on our PC, but secured, online. I have started to keep an eye on our emails, to ensure that we do store things that we shouldn't in our mail box.

Maja PedersenHR Chief, JP Vagt

In our company, we are not very good at cleaning up or keeping our data centers in order. We have data folders to help us with that. It is a small ingenious service that can quickly and efficiently look through all our data. As responsible for GDPR, it gives me help for a good night's sleep.

Peter AndersenIT-Manager in medium-sized company

GDPR is not something we have the time or desire to spend a lot of energy on. Datamapper is superb at giving us an overview of our data. It definitely gets my recommendation.

Søren HenriksenData Protection Officer at medium-sized company

We provide security and compliance solutions; through our partnership with Safe Online, we offer their privacy solutions to our clients to support GDPR and ensure secure IT solutions.

How does DataMapper search for sensitive data?

DataMapper uses a combination of advanced AI and machine learning algorithms when searching. Using this search method, DataMapper finds sensitive data with very high precision.

What does DataMapper search for?

DataMapper scan for numbers and text defined by The EU Commission as being sensitive information. The list is continuously expanded with new words and numbers. In addition, you also have the option of adding or omitting words and numbers from DataMapper. By doing so, DataMapper can find exactly the terms that are sensitive to your business.

Documents:
txt, rtf, pdf, doc, docx, gdoc, odt

Email types:

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.

DataMapper offers three types of connectors for automation:

  • Native Connectors, which integrate with the platforms Microsoft OneDrive, Microsoft Outlook, Microsoft SharePoint, Google Drive, Google Mail, Azure Blob Storage, local drives, and network drives (Windows Fileshare).
  • Logic Apps integration, providing access to over 1,000 apps via Logic Apps.
  • Custom Connector, allowing integration with any RESTful API, offering flexibility for specific integration requirements.
