Problem
Organizations face challenges in effectively identifying and classifying sensitive data across diverse systems, leading to compliance gaps with regulations like GDPR, CCPA, and DPDPA. Manual data discovery processes are often complex, costly, and time-intensive, increasing the risk of data breaches and hindering effective data security measures. The lack of alignment between enterprise security controls and data assets further exacerbates these challenges.

The platform discovers datasets at scale, enabling quick actions and reducing compliance costs. By leveraging AI, TurtleShield identifies and classifies sensitive data across the organization, assesses risks, and automates compliance workflows, such as DSARs and consent management. This approach ensures that sensitive information is properly protected and regulatory requirements are met with minimal manual effort, enhancing data-centric security and privacy.
