You cannot protect what you have not found.
of Salesforce data is obsolete. Most orgs do not know what personal data they hold.
GDPR Article 30 requires a record of processing activities (RoPA): a documented inventory of what personal data you hold and why. Your org likely does not have one. Custom objects, installed packages, and legacy fields accumulate personal data without any catalog. Discovery builds the inventory automatically.

GDPR requires documented record of processing activities. Personal data inventory is mandatory.
You cannot delete what you cannot find. You cannot mask what you have not cataloged. Data Retention Manager needs to know which objects contain personal data to set retention rules. DataMasker needs the field list to build masking rules. Personal Data Discovery is the prerequisite step for any compliance automation.

average number of installed packages in a mid-market Salesforce org. Each may store personal data.
AppExchange packages store personal data in their own custom objects, often undocumented. Support desk tools, marketing packages, CPQ solutions, and service management apps all create their own schema. Most compliance tools only scan standard Salesforce objects. Personal Data Discovery scans managed package objects too.

How Personal Data Discovery Works
Full Org PII Scan
Scans all standard objects, custom objects, and installed managed package objects for personal data fields. Covers Contact, Lead, Account, plus every custom object in your org.
Personal Data Classification
Classifies fields by data type: name, email, phone, address, SSN, financial data, health data. Maps each field to applicable regulations (GDPR, CCPA, HIPAA, FINRA).
GDPR Article 30 RoPA Generation
Auto-generates a GDPR Article 30 compliant Record of Processing Activities from the scan results. Exportable for data protection officers and regulators.
Feeds Directly Into CC Products
Discovery output feeds directly into DataMasker (which fields to mask), Data Retention Manager (which objects to set retention rules on), and Privacy Rights Automation (which records to include in DSAR responses).
Why Teams Choose Personal Data Discovery
Start Compliance From a Known State
Stop making assumptions about where personal data lives. Discovery gives you ground truth before you build any compliance controls.
Mandatory for GDPR Article 30 RoPA
The GDPR record of processing activities is a legal requirement. Discovery automates it from actual Salesforce schema, no manual documentation needed.
The Foundation Layer for All CC Products
Personal Data Discovery is the starting point. DataMasker, Data Retention Manager, and Privacy Rights Automation all need to know what is personal data and where it lives. Discovery answers that question once.
