Move beyond aggregate discovery statistics to inspect exact records containing sensitive data. Customers can now review individual findings, enabling targeted follow-up actions such as classification, anonymization, or encryption. The system tracks and stores granular findings associated with each discovery job, with authorized access control and cleanup capabilities.
Detect sensitive data in uploaded images (.jpeg, .png) using optical character recognition (OCR). The system extracts text from images and runs it through the Data Discovery API to identify sensitive data patterns in real time as images are uploaded. This extends discovery capabilities to screenshots and other image attachments frequently uploaded in work notes and comments fields.
New and trial customers automatically receive a default discovery job on activation or license enablement, scanning common sources of sensitive data exposure. The automatic scan provides immediate baseline findings without manual configuration, reducing setup complexity and accelerating time-to-value for the platform.
Create a dedicated inbound email channel for discovering and masking sensitive data in inbound emails through the Data Privacy framework. Existing customers automatically migrate their email configurations to the new channel policy during upgrade, streamlining the admin experience and centralizing email security management. New role-based permissions enable inbound email admins to manage channel-specific policies.
Preview anonymization results before executing a real job. The dry run feature executes a mock anonymization on sample records selected from the data in scope, showing administrators exactly how their sensitive data will be transformed. This visibility reduces the risk of unintended data changes and enables informed decision-making before irreversible anonymization operations.
Anonymize sensitive data using cryptographic tokenization while maintaining reversibility. Authorized roles can de-anonymize tokenized data on demand, enabling format-preserving anonymization with flexible access control. This approach supports use cases where sensitive data must be protected during normal operations but accessible to high-privilege users on a need-to-know basis.
Use custom PII detection services instead of built-in detection, enabling enterprise customers to meet strict compliance and data sovereignty requirements. The platform provides a single configuration point for integrating customer-provided anonymization services, similar to bring-your-own LLM capabilities, with secure credential management and consistent enforcement across all AI capabilities. |

UI changes
Configure row-table access (RTA) policies with independent rules for child tables, no longer limited to the scope of the parent table policy. Inherited fields can now be managed separately from parent table selections, providing greater granularity in data access control.
Existing inbound email configurations are automatically migrated to the new dedicated channel policy during Brazil upgrade. The legacy email plugin integration is superseded by the new inbound email channel. Customers should migrate to the new framework for a consistent experience. Test the migration in a non-production instance before upgrading production environments.
The dry run capability has been updated to work seamlessly with the current anonymization framework and provides accurate record counts and field-level anonymization previews. Dry run results now show exact transformations that will be applied during actual anonymization job execution.
Default discovery job configuration for Vault customers now includes pre-configured patterns for common PII types including names, email addresses, phone numbers, social security numbers, and credit cards. Customers can modify or disable these default jobs through the Data Discovery Store app. |
Between your current release family and Brazil, some Data Privacy and Discovery features or functionality were removed.

- Discover sensitive data across your platform by identifying where personally identifiable information \(PII\) resides in databases, files, emails, and images using multiple detection methods including regex patterns and OCR.
- Classify and categorize sensitive data to understand the scope and risk profile of PII within your organization.
- Anonymize sensitive data using multiple techniques including masking, redaction, tokenization, and format-preserving transformation to meet compliance requirements while maintaining data utility.
- Control access to sensitive data at the record and field level using row-table access \(RTA\) policies and security attributes to enforce least-privilege principles.
- Monitor and audit data protection operations with activity logs, discovery findings, and anonymization dashboards for defensible compliance reporting.
See Data Privacy documentation and Data Discovery documentation for more information.
