⁠Inspect-Data Risk Finder

On-demand, zero-config data discovery and classification for compliance.

Inspect-Data Risk Finder is a high-performance Docker container designed to scan, identify, and classify sensitive data (PII, PHI, PCI, GDPR, GLBA, HIPAA) across your entire environment. Built for privacy-first organizations, Risk Finder performs deep data audits without moving or exporting data outside your security perimeter. Risk Finder uses a flat-fee licensing model, eliminating per-byte and per-scan costs so organizations can scan all of their data—without usage-based pricing constraints or “data tolls.”

⁠Core Capabilities

• Zero-Config Deployment
  Pull the image and start scanning in minutes—no agents, no infrastructure changes.
• Deep Data Classification
  Detects PII, PHI, PCI, and custom corporate secrets across 1,000+ file types.
• OCR-Enabled Discovery
  Native OCR identifies sensitive information inside scanned documents, PDFs, and images.
• Privacy by Design
  All scanning occurs entirely within your environment (on-prem, VPC, or air-gapped).
• 60+ Systems & Data Sources
  Scan local file systems, shared drives, and cloud storage using rclone or FUSE, including CIFS/SMB, SSH, FTP, AWS S3, Azure Blob Storage, Microsoft SharePoint & OneDrive, Google Drive, and more.
• Automated Compliance Reporting
  Produce risk-prioritized PDF reports highlighting high-risk files and compliance mappings by directory, with JSON outputs for SIEM ingestion and workflow integrations.

⁠🛠 Running the Container

docker run --rm \
  -e LICENSE_KEY=your_license_key_here \
  -v /path/to/scan:/work \
  -v /path/to/output:/output \
  inspectdatainc/inspectdata-risk-finder:latest

⁠📖 Common Use Cases

• Compliance Audits
  Identify where sensitive data is stored—or leaking—across unsecured locations.
• Incident Response & Breach Notification
  Rapidly determine exactly which PII or PHI was exposed to meet regulatory deadlines.
• Mergers & Acquisitions
  Assess data risk and liability before integrating acquired environments.
• Cloud Migration
  Discover and remediate sensitive data before moving legacy files to the cloud.

⁠🆚 Why Inspect-Data vs. DSPM / Traditional DLP

Most DSPM and legacy DLP tools were designed around centralized platforms, data ingestion, and per-GB pricing models. Inspect-Data Risk Finder takes a fundamentally different approach.

⁠Inspect-Data Risk Finder

• Scans data where it lives
  No data ingestion, mirroring, or copying into an external platform.
• Flat-fee, unlimited scanning
  Scan everything—file systems, cloud storage, and archives—without cost anxiety.
• Zero-dependency architecture
  Single Docker container. No agents, databases, SaaS pipelines, or long onboarding cycles.
• Privacy-first by design
  Data never leaves your environment—ideal for regulated, air-gapped, or sovereign deployments.
• Built for scale at the edge
  Designed to scan billions of files and cells efficiently on standard CPU infrastructure.

⁠Typical DSPM / DLP Tools

• Require data ingestion or indexing
  Sensitive data is copied or streamed into vendor-managed platforms.
• Usage-based or per-GB pricing
  Costs scale directly with data growth—often discouraging full coverage.
• Heavy platform dependencies
  Agents, SaaS backends, databases, and continuous connectivity requirements.
• Limited visibility by design
  Many customers scan only a subset of data due to cost, performance, or risk concerns.
