Ground Labs Enterprise Recon
Ground Labs Enterprise Recon discovers and manages sensitive data across structured and unstructured environments to support compliance and data security. It scans on-premises platforms, databases, email, archive storage, cloud services, endpoints, and file servers. Ground Labs says the product includes more than 300 preconfigured personal data types and allows custom patterns. Remediation options include redaction, secure erasure, quarantine, and encryption. Enterprise Recon integrates with Microsoft Purview for persistent classification metadata and provides ODBC integration with compatible applications and business intelligence platforms for analytics. Its PII and PRO editions include a RESTful API for reports, match-location data, remediation actions, and workflow automation. Documented security controls include two-factor authentication, password policies, user roles and permissions, and IP address access controls. Local agent operating systems include Windows, Linux, macOS, FreeBSD, AIX, and Solaris. The product lists requirements including PCI DSS, GDPR, HIPAA, CCPA/CPRA, Singapore PDPA, and others. Licensing limits depend on the model and may use data-volume allowances or target-count and scanned-volume limits. Pricing is on request.
