Running a scan
Choose folders
From the scan screen, select one or more folders to scan — home directories, shared drives mounted locally, download folders, or the whole disk. The agent walks each tree recursively.
Start the scan
Click Start scan. A live, animated status shows the current file, files processed, and findings so far.
Scheduled recurring scans
Set up recurring scans so endpoints stay continuously inventoried:- Choose the folders and a recurrence (for example, weekly).
- The agent runs the scan automatically in the background at the scheduled time.
- Results accumulate in the findings list like any manual scan.
Reading findings
Each finding row shows:| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Entity type | The PII rule that matched (for example, “US SSN”, “Credit Card”, “Aadhaar”) |
| Masked value | The matched value with most characters redacted, e.g. •••-••-6789 |
| Confidence | Score reflecting pattern strength, checksum validation, and context |
| File location | Full path to the file containing the match |
Values are always masked in the UI. The agent never displays or exports full matched values, keeping the discovery tool itself from becoming a PII exposure vector.
