Data discovery is the process of scanning your systems to find where sensitive data actually lives — across databases, file shares, endpoints and cloud. It answers the question most organisations cannot: where is our sensitive data?

Why discovery is the prerequisite

Classification, DLP and every breach or privacy report all assume you know where the data is. Discovery produces that inventory, turning assumptions into a live, accurate map.

Structured and unstructured

Sensitive data hides in structured databases and in unstructured files alike. Veriket Data Discovery scans both from one console, with international and Turkish PII detection built in.

Continuous, not one-off

A point-in-time scan is stale the moment it finishes. Scheduled, incremental discovery keeps the map current, so your posture reflects reality rather than last quarter's snapshot.
