Platform service: Discovery

Find Sensitive Data Everywhere. So You can protect it anywhere.

Accurately identify and classify sensitive data (PII, PHI, PCI, IP) across structured and unstructured sources using Protegrity’s ML-powered discovery tools.
VISIBILITY & CONTROL

ML-POWERED DISCOVERY FOR MODERN AI & APPS

Protegrity’s dual-model approach finds sensitive data with high accuracy—including reliable discovery capabilities within the unstructured text that fuels modern AI and analytics use cases.

Key Capabilities

ADVANCED CLASSIFICATION & INTEGRATION FEATURES

See how Protegrity Discovery delivers superior accuracy with broad coverage and easy integration—so you can reduce risk and enhance protection strategies.
01
Advanced PII Classification
Achieve high accuracy and explainability using a unique dual-model architecture combining a ML language model (RoBERTa) with a rules-based engine (Presidio).

Combines ML language understanding with pattern-matching rules for better results

Identify common sensitive data types (names, emails, SSNs, CC#s, etc.)

Tuned for high precision and recall in finding PII/PHI accurately

02
Unstructured Input Support
Purpose-built to discover sensitive data within natural language text, transcripts, documents, chatbot logs, support tickets, and other challenging unstructured formats where PII often hides.

Analyze free-text fields and documents often missed by traditional DLP tools

Ideal for cleaning data before use in chatbots, RAG pipelines, or AI models

Handles semi-structured text alongside fully unstructured content effectively

03
API Access & Embeddability
Easily integrate Protegrity Discovery into any application, script, or workflow using a lightweight REST API and Python SDK for maximum developer flexibility.

Embed PII detection directly within your custom application logic

Automatically trigger downstream redaction, masking, or other protection actions

Includes API Playground for rapid testing

04
Containerized Deployment
Deploy Protegrity Discovery within your own infrastructure using Docker containers—or leverage managed Kubernetes support (like AWS EKS) for cloud-native scalability.

Run standalone Docker containers for local testing or small-scale deployments

Scale discovery workloads effectively using Kubernetes in private or public cloud

Deploy securely within internal enterprise environments

05
Standardized Classification Output
Get clear, structured, actionable outputs that identify the type of sensitive data along with a confidence score and precise location within the source text string.

Outputs standard entity types (e.g., PERSON, EMAIL, PHONE, ADDRESS, CREDIT_CARD)

Includes a confidence score for filtering results or prioritizing actions

Provides start/end character positions to support targeted redaction or masking

06
Governance Integration
Feed discovery results into Protegrity Governance to inform policy creation, refine protection rules, and validate your security posture.

Identify exactly where sensitive data exists to prioritize protection efforts

Use classification results to automate or streamline refinement of refine policy definitions

Enable risk-based data protection strategies based on identified data sensitivity
