Regulatory sensitive information

Sensitive data is data that is considered private or protected by law, policy, or contractual obligation. The Coro console discovers sensitive data stored on the emails and cloud drives of your users that may be subject to regulatory or data compliance requirements, such as sharing from OneDrive, Google Drive, Box, or Dropbox.

Note

Each organization is unique and is required to comply with specific sensitive data regulatory requirements. Use the Coro interactive discovery tool here to assess your specific data governance needs.

The following table shows the data transactions monitored by Coro. It includes information on the type of monitoring (data access, data exposure, or both):
