Most organisations can describe where regulated material is meant to live. Very few can describe where it has actually settled, which after a decade of exports, shared drives and well meant local copies is a completely different map. These two lines draw the real one, then act on what it shows.
The sweep covers hardware and the shares that hardware can see, identifies regulated records, payment data and confidential material, and counts it. Counting is the part that changes meetings. Exposure with a size can be ranked, funded and reported upwards. Exposure described as considerable can do none of those things and everybody in the room knows it.
Risk is priced one machine at a time, which hands clean up a running order you can defend afterwards. You work downwards from whichever hardware is carrying the most, instead of starting wherever the most recent complaint happened to come from. At any real scale that ordering is what separates a programme from a sequence of gestures.
The enforcing line applies scrambling invisibly to material the sweep has already sorted, and puts rules on the ways files leave: removable media, uploads, and the other exits people reach for the moment something feels urgent.
Rule sets can differ by group, and they should. A loading bay and a legal department do not work the same way, and imposing one rule set across both produces either an obstruction or a polite fiction. Separate sets let the control be strict where strictness is earned without bringing the rest of the business to a halt.
Every rate below is fetched from billing the moment this page opens. Whatever gets marked waits in the schedule; reading on costs you nothing.
The first truthful answer to where the regulated material has ended up, which is hardly ever the place a policy document says it should be.
| Platform | Actifile |
|---|---|
| Sweeps | Windows, macOS and Linux, together with the shares each can see |
| Turns up | Regulated records, payment data and confidential material |
| Yields | One risk figure per machine, plus a tally of what turned up |
| Measured in | Device, each month |
Finding it tells you where the risk sits. This line settles what may happen next: which files travel scrambled, and which exits off the machine are open at all.
| Platform | Actifile |
|---|---|
| Scrambling | Applied invisibly to files already sorted |
| Exits | Removable media, uploads and the other ways out |
| Rule sets | Separate policy per group where the work genuinely differs |
| Needs | Sensitive Data Discovery on the same hardware |
| Measured in | Device, each month |
Written down in advance, so the question of what else the estate needs gets asked now and not in the middle of something.
