Business Solution · Sensitive data & privacy governance

Trace sensitive data through the systems that store and move it.

Model information assets as data_object entities with classification and privacy attributes. Scapius traces where they flow between applications and highlights paths missing encryption or access controls.

Why this is hard today

Privacy reviews, regulatory inquiries, and data audits take weeks of manual investigation when organizations lack clear documentation of where PII, cardholder data, and ledger records move.

Why data flow views bring clarity

Data classification

Track restricted customer and financial data objects with explicit privacy tags.

Flow visibility

Know which applications read, write, or stream sensitive records across systems.

Audit readiness

Answer privacy and regulatory inquiries with continuous, model-verified lineage.

Decisions enabled

Decisions informed by this model

Direct model queries replace subjective opinions with objective architecture evidence for leadership discussions.

Model-checked PII inventory

Provides privacy officers with a structured inventory of modeled applications handling PII and cardholder data.

Safeguard visibility

Highlights modeled data transit paths and third-party integrations for security review.

Faster compliance inquiries

Supports GDPR and CCPA data lineage inquiries with repeatable graph views.

Key review question

“Which systems read or store Restricted PII without documented cryptographic safeguards?”

How your architects maintain it

Defined as clear, structured text

Teams define information assets as first-class data_object entities with classification and privacy attributes. The compiler traces data lineage across applications and highlights missing encryption or access controls.
