Keep track of your sensitive data
After a scan, all files containing sensitive content are displayed in a list. As an administrator, you gain a comprehensive overview of the entire company’s sensitive data, while individual users receive an overview of their own sensitive data. This allows you to quickly identify areas and processes that need attention to enhance your compliance efforts.
Categorisation
Understand Your Data
Files with GDPR risk are categorised by age, file location, file type, type of personal data, risk words, risk numbers, and the individuals related to the file. You can sort and filter by these categories, making it easy for you to get an overview of each individual file.

Who is DataMapper for?

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.

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:
msg, txt (email bodies)
Presentations:

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.
What systems does DataMapper integrate with?
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.

DataMapper processes all of personal information as confidential, including basic details such as names and email addresses. The system is crafted to adhere to the highest standards of data security. Read more about the security in DataMapper here.

DataMapper is part of PrivacyHub
DataMapper belongs to the SaaS platform, PrivacyHub, which is a platform for handling the company’s sensitive personal data. PrivacyHub has divided the processing of personal data into three phases. With RequestManager, it is possible for a company to receive data requests. To locate data, data must be found – here DataMapper is used. ShareSimple is used to securely share (or receive) personal data. With PrivacyHub, a company gets the opportunity to automate the process from personal data entering the company’s data systems while personal data is in the company until personal data leaves the company again. The three services work separately, but can work in a symbiosis. PrivacyHub is created so that companies can start with one solution and add another if the need arises.
How ShareSimple works with DataMapper
DataMapper users find loads of sensitive data in old emails and attachments. Identifying all this sensitive data with DataMapper makes it quick and easy to clean up your inboxes. But if sensitive data keeps coming in emails, you may find yourself repeating the same steps over and over, just to keep up. By using ShareSimple sensitive information is kept out of your emails and inboxes altogether.
ShareSimple is a user-friendly add-in for Microsoft Outlook that instantly creates an encrypted connection for sharing sensitive information securely. Why is this so awesome? When you share personal data with regular email, two or more copies are created. This increases the risk of data leaks and breaches. With ShareSimple, no extra copies are made; and all data is encrypted and deleted automatically within a set data retention period.
How RequestManager works with DataMapper
DataMapper makes it easy to keep track of all the personal data you store about your customers, employees and others. But what about someone sends you a request about their data? Many of the companies we talk to say they still don’t have a system in place for receiving data requests and responding to them. Enter RequestManager. RequestManager receives, verifies and delivers all your data requests to one dashboard, then reminds you to respond on time. Then, just use DataMapper to quickly pull up all the data you store about the requester and deliver it neatly and safely before the deadline.
