Scan CSV and database exports
CSV files are where databases come to leak. FileSentinel scans your exports for sensitive data row by row, locally on Windows.
Exports add up
Find what the database dumped
A CSV export is often the largest concentration of personal data on a machine: a whole table flattened into a single shareable file. They pile up in Downloads and project folders long after anyone needs them.
FileSentinel reads CSV rows and flags SSNs, payment cards, emails, phone numbers, and account numbers, scoring each finding so a dense export is escalated for review.
In the export
What FileSentinel surfaces
| Source | Sensitive data |
|---|---|
| CRM exports | Names, emails, phone numbers |
| Billing exports | Payment cards, account numbers |
| HR exports | SSNs, dates of birth, tax IDs |
| System dumps | Mixed personal and financial data |
Then remove it
Delete the export you no longer need
Most risky CSV exports should simply not exist anymore. FileSentinel helps you find them, see what they contain, and redact or remove them, all without uploading the data.
