At DāSTOR we understand that unstructured data is one of the fastest growing challenges in every business. It lives across multiple platforms and formats, often unmanaged, and rarely gets the attention it needs until it becomes a costly problem. From redundant files to sensitive information stored in the wrong location, the lack of visibility can drive up expenses, create compliance risks, and make it harder to secure your organization’s most valuable data.
This is where our Scout platform delivers a clear advantage. Scout provides a complete view of unstructured data, making it possible to identify risk, reduce unnecessary storage, and ensure compliance without disrupting day-to-day operations.
From Unseen to Under Control
Unstructured data often hides in plain sight within file shares, cloud storage, email archives, and other repositories. Without a clear inventory, it is impossible to know what exists, where it resides, and how it should be managed. Scout changes that by scanning and analyzing petabytes of data across on-premises and cloud environments. Its intuitive dashboards and advanced classification capabilities transform dark data into actionable insights.
By knowing exactly what data exists, organizations can make informed decisions on what to keep, secure, archive, or delete. This not only reduces the risk of breaches and compliance violations, but also frees up costly storage resources.
Driving Down Costs While Strengthening Compliance
The impact of unstructured data goes beyond storage capacity. It can complicate regulatory compliance, inflate IT budgets, and increase the attack surface for cyber threats. Scout addresses these challenges by helping organizations identify and protect sensitive information such as personal or financial data. It removes unnecessary copies of files to reduce storage and backup costs, and ensures data is stored in the correct location to meet regional and industry-specific requirements.
For law firms, financial institutions, healthcare providers, and other regulated industries, this visibility is essential. Scout’s ability to accurately classify and manage records supports faster audits, more efficient records management, and greater confidence in meeting both internal and external requirements.
Turning Insight into Action
Scout does more than identify the problem, it empowers you to take immediate action. Data can be migrated, tiered, or deleted directly from the platform. This integration of discovery, classification, and remediation streamlines data governance, making it easier to maintain security, compliance, and efficiency over time.
Unstructured data will continue to grow, but it does not have to grow unchecked. By partnering with DāSTOR and leveraging Scout, you gain the visibility and control needed to manage data strategically, reduce risk, and optimize resources.
