# Data Discovery Store

Discover and track sensitive data within a ServiceNow instance

## Data Discovery Store

Use Data Discovery to discover sensitive data within your instance. Scan for structured sensitive data such as, credit card numbers, phone numbers, social security numbers \(SSN\), etc. Get started quickly by using out-of-the- box common data patterns or create their own for a more granular experience. For unstructured and often context-based sensitive data such as names, addresses, etc. you can use AI and machine learning to aid with identification
