Your PII Is Hiding. Find It First.

Personal data discovery in Salesforce means automatically scanning your org to identify which fields and objects contain personal data: names, emails, phone numbers, SSNs, financial data, health data. Most orgs have hundreds of objects and thousands of fields; manual inventory is impractical. Discovery scans the full schema and classifies fields by data type and applicable regulation.

Yes. GDPR Article 30 requires organizations with 250+ employees (and smaller organizations processing sensitive data) to maintain a Record of Processing Activities. This is a documented inventory of what personal data you hold, why you hold it, where it came from, who you share it with, and how long you keep it. Personal Data Discovery automates the Salesforce portion of the RoPA.

Yes. Personal Data Discovery scans managed package objects in addition to standard and custom Salesforce objects. This is a significant gap in most manual discovery processes. CPQ tools, support desk packages, and marketing automation tools often store personal data in their own managed package schema that standard compliance audits miss.

Discovery is the starting point. The scan output tells DataMasker which fields to mask in sandboxes, tells Data Retention Manager which objects need retention rules, and tells Privacy Rights Automation which records to include in DSAR responses. All three products can import the Discovery output directly, no manual configuration of field lists needed.

Yes. Personal Data Discovery scans all object types in your Salesforce org, standard objects (Account, Contact, Lead, Case), custom objects, and even custom metadata fields. The scanner uses configurable data classification rules: you define which field types and patterns constitute PII, PHI, or sensitive data. Results show field-level PII density across your entire org schema. This is particularly valuable before a sandbox refresh or data retention audit, you see exactly what data you have before you start managing it.

Article 30 requires organizations to maintain records of what personal data they process, where it is stored, and for what purpose. Personal Data Discovery automates the data mapping component: it scans your Salesforce org and generates a structured inventory of where PII exists, which objects, which fields, estimated record counts, and data categories. This inventory becomes the technical basis for your Article 30 records. Rather than manually documenting your data processing activities, you generate an evidence-based map directly from your live Salesforce org.
