Endpoint Discovery
Personal data doesn't only live in servers — it sits on laptops, desktops, and shared drives across your workforce. Digital Anumati's Endpoint Discovery scans every endpoint to find personal data at rest, flag risky local copies, and bring this last-mile blind spot into your DPDP compliance picture.

Why Endpoints Are a DPDP Act Blind Spot
Server-side discovery misses the personal data that ends up on employee devices. Yet the DPDP Act holds you accountable for that data too — its security, its inclusion in rights requests, and its place in your overall data inventory.
Leaving endpoints unmanaged creates three critical risks:
Local Copies Slip Through
Exports, downloads, and email attachments leave personal data scattered on endpoints — far outside the databases your compliance tooling watches.
Endpoints Are the Weak Link
Laptops get lost, stolen, or sold. Personal data sitting unencrypted on a device is one misplaced laptop away from a reportable breach under the DPDP Act.
Offboarding Leaves Residue
When employees leave, the personal data on their devices and shared drives is easily forgotten — yet it remains your responsibility as a Data Fiduciary.
What Digital Anumati's Endpoint Discovery Does
1. Endpoint Scanning
Scan laptops, desktops, and shared drives across your workforce to locate personal data at rest — files, spreadsheets, exports, and attachments.
2. On-Device Classification
Classify the personal data found on each endpoint by category and sensitivity, mapped to DPDP definitions, so risky local data is identified, not just counted.
3. Risky Copy Detection
Flag unencrypted sensitive files, stale exports, and personal data stored where it shouldn't be, so it can be secured, moved, or removed.
4. Device & Owner Mapping
Tie each finding to a specific device and owner, giving you clear accountability and a fast path to remediation.
5. Continuous Monitoring & Alerts
Re-scan on a schedule and alert when new sensitive data appears on an endpoint, so the last mile of your data estate stays under control.
6. Inventory & Reporting
Feed endpoint findings into your overall data inventory and export reports evidencing endpoint coverage for audits and the Data Protection Board.
