(Revealing over-shared content and weak permissions) - Are you storing data you don’t need?
(Finding redundant, obsolete, and trivial data wasting space, creating risk and causing unnecessary costs) - Is your data ready for AI tools like Copilot?
(Reduces the risk of sensitive data being exposed in AI workflows) - What are your immediate security priorities?
(Providing a clear action plan for quick data risk reduction)
