GLBA customer financial data discovery
The GLBA Safeguards Rule expects financial institutions to know where customer financial information lives. FileSentinel finds it across your Windows files, on your own machine.
Inventory the data
Find customer financial information
The updated GLBA Safeguards Rule expects covered financial institutions to inventory where customer information is collected, stored, and transmitted. Account numbers, tax IDs, and financial records spread quietly across spreadsheets, exports, and PDFs.
FileSentinel detects bank account and routing numbers, payment cards, taxpayer IDs, and the personal identifiers that accompany them, scoring each finding so real customer data is easy to spot and act on.
