Sensitive Data Discovery Assessment

Updated over 5 months ago

Service Overview

Sensitive Data Discovery Assessment involves a comprehensive enumeration of the organization’s data storage platforms. The goal is to provide insight into the current state of sensitive data management by identifying accessible data across the following environments:

  • OneDrive

  • SharePoint

  • Network shares

  • NAS devices

  • Employee workstations


Methodology

Using in-house tools and techniques, CYE team conducts keyword-based searches to locate and analyze sensitive data across accessible locations.

The activity can be executed using either:

  • A standard domain user account to explore authorization and data disclosure risks

  • A privileged domain user account to identify unprotected sensitive data


Deliverables

  • All discovered findings are shown in Hyver, CYE’s Continuous Threat Exposure Management (CTEM) platform

  • A comprehensive report detailing accessible data across each reviewed platform


Prerequisites

  • A domain-joined endpoint and domain-joined user account

  • Privileged network access to AD-connected devices

  • A list of organization-specific keywords to support targeted data probing and analysis


Customer Engagement

A point of contact from the organization might be required to support the assessment process, with expected involvement of no more than one hour per week.

  • NIST Cybersecurity Framework

  • ISO/IEC 27001

  • ISO/IEC 27002
