Frequently Asked Questions
What is sensitive data management?
Sensitive data management is the practice of discovering, classifying, protecting, and governing sensitive information, such as personal, financial, regulated, or proprietary data, across its entire lifecycle. In large unstructured data environments, it provides visibility into what data exists, where it lives, who has access to it, and the level of risk it represents, enabling organizations to apply the right policies and controls based on data sensitivity rather than treating all data the same.
Why is sensitive data management important for both data storage and security teams?
Sensitive data management creates a shared foundation for cost efficiency and risk reduction. For data storage teams, it enables smarter data placement, tiering, archiving, and migration decisions by ensuring sensitive data is handled appropriately while lower-risk data can be optimized to reduce storage and backup costs. For security teams, it addresses a major blind spot by identifying sensitive data hidden in unstructured files, allowing teams to prioritize protections, limit access, reduce exposure, and meet compliance requirements. Together, the right approach to sensitive data management aligns storage optimization with security governance, helping enterprises optimize unstructured data storage costs, support AI data workflows, and strengthen security without unnecessary cost or operational friction.
What is Komprise Sensitive Data Management?
Komprise Smart Data Workflows and the sensitive data detection and regex search capabilities help enterprises discover, classify, and automatically remediate sensitive unstructured data across hybrid storage. It ensures sensitive data is protected, compliant, and excluded from AI workflows.
How does Komprise detect sensitive data in unstructured files?
Komprise can search within file contents across all storage, for specific information. Built-in PII detection covers national IDs, credit card numbers and email addresses. You can also conduct custom searches using keyword and regular expressions (regex) search to identify specific data formats like employee IDs, machine or instrument IDs, product or project codes, or PHI data like patient record IDs. Komprise processes all data locally in your own data center, so sensitive data stays in place.
Is Sensitive Data Management included in the Komprise license?
Yes, Komprise Intelligent Data Management includes Sensitive Data detection and mitigation at no additional charge.
Why is it important to filter PII before a RAG pipeline?
Personally identifiable information (PII) in unstructured data can expose organizations to privacy violations, regulatory risk, and data leakage through AI outputs. When sensitive data is ingested into a RAG pipeline, it can be retrieved, indexed, and surfaced in responses, creating compliance issues and undermining trust. Filtering PII early ensures only safe, governed data is used to power AI, reducing risk while improving the quality and relevance of results.
Komprise uses analytics-driven unstructured data management to identify, tag, and act on sensitive data before AI data ingestion. With global metadata indexing and policy-based workflows, Komprise can detect PII across file and object storage, then automate actions such as quarantining, tiering, or excluding sensitive data from AI pipelines. This ensures only compliant, high-quality datasets are fed into RAG systems – at scale and across heterogeneous storage environments.

Does Komprise move or modify original data?
No. Komprise analyzes data in place and applies metadata-based tagging and policies. When data is moved, file access and structure are preserved, and full audit records are maintained.
