Problem
Organizations handling large volumes of unstructured “dark” data struggle to locate personally identifiable information (PII) quickly enough to meet Data Subject Access Request (DSAR) deadlines and eDiscovery obligations. Traditional file‑system searches are slow, produce false positives, and require extensive manual effort, increasing compliance risk and operational cost.
Solution
Sarima delivers an on‑premise Windows application that combines a proprietary indexing engine with dynamic query optimization to scan unstructured data stores at up to ten times the speed of native search tools. Users create a cached index of file shares or other storage locations; the index can be rebuilt incrementally as data changes, enabling near‑real‑time searches for multiple identifiers. The UI presents matched files for instant viewing, selective redaction, and secure export, while all processing remains isolated within the customer’s environment, eliminating external data exposure. By reducing the end‑to‑end DSAR and eDiscovery workflow from weeks to under an hour, Sarima helps enterprises achieve regulatory compliance with measurable cost savings.
Target Audience
Primary users are data protection officers, legal and eDiscovery teams, and IT administrators in mid‑size to large enterprises that must process GDPR DSARs, privacy audits, or litigation data requests.
