Custom Reports: The Key to Meaningful Data Management

Discovery, classification, and remediation form the essential foundation of sensitive data management. But to truly manage your data effectively, these steps must lead to a richer understanding of your data and the environment in which it lives:  

• Understand Your Data — Each stakeholder, whether compliance teams, data stewards, or executive leaders, views scan results differently. Comprehensive insights tailored to these perspectives enable better decision-making and more effective data management strategies. 
  
• Demonstrate Control — Accurate reporting demonstrates compliance with internal policies and external regulations. It’s invaluable for audits, cyber insurance applications, and fostering trust among stakeholders.  

Effective data management requires multi-dimensional reporting that provides a complete understanding of your data landscape: 

• Data Type Distribution — Understand the prevalence of sensitive data types, such as Social Security numbers or credit card data, to address compliance risks tied to regulations like PCI DSS or HIPAA. 
  
• Remediation Progress — Track efforts to secure sensitive data — whether through redaction, quarantine, or other actions — to monitor and reduce your organization’s data footprint. 
  
• Task Assignments and Status — Highlight the progress of tasks such as administrator reviews or data steward actions, underscoring diligence and proactive risk management.
