Your Organization is Storing Far More Risky Data Than You Realize

StorageMAP reveals hidden exposure across billions of unstructured files and enables decisive, policy-driven actions to reduce governance, compliance, and security risk

Manage Data Exposure

The more data an organization has sitting on its most vulnerable storage, the larger the blast radius and the greater the damage when an incident occurs. StorageMAP helps identify vast quantities of data that do not need to be exposed and moves it to more protected storage. This includes data left behind by departed employees, billions of old and useless files, and sensitive or confidential information—areas where significant risk can hide.

Maintain Long Term Records

Organizations are accumulating long-term unstructured data faster than they can govern it, creating risks such as non-compliant retention, unclear ownership, and regulatory or legal exposure. StorageMAP helps determine what must be preserved and what can be archived or defensibly removed, ensuring only the right data remains. By continuously monitoring retention policies and providing clear, auditable reporting, StorageMAP enables confident governance, demonstrated compliance, and reduced overall risk.

Protect Critical and Sensitive Data

Regulatory agencies now require organizations to demonstrate strong business continuity, increasing the need to identify and safeguard truly critical data. Many still rely on outdated, backup-only strategies that cannot ensure rapid or selective recovery. StorageMAP pinpoints the specific data that should have additional protection —without driving up cost—and supports fast, testable restoration so organizations can meet modern continuity expectations and satisfy auditor demands.

Reduce M&A and Divestiture Risk

Mergers, acquisitions, and divestitures often lead to disruption, wasted time, and failed integrations when data is poorly understood or mishandled. StorageMAP provides the visibility needed to assess inherited data risks, determine what should be merged, archived, or removed, and helps ensure required records are retained appropriately. By enabling accurate data movement, consolidation, and divestiture with built-in chain-of-custody tracking, StorageMAP reduces the operational, compliance, and business risks that undermine successful transitions.

A Platform Built for the Future

To deliver on the promise of complete unstructured data management, StorageMAP’s fundamental architecture is designed to be future proof for the great influx of unstructured data:

Vendor neutral architecture to support the hybrid cloud.

Scalable in both capacity and number of files.

Interoperable with the nuances of thousands of storage system implementations.

Transparent to the environment with no impact on data path.

No Lock-in to proprietary data formats with zero data transformation.

Automated actions that allow you to implement and monitor policies.

GRC FAQs

What is GRC software?

GRC software helps manage governance, risk, and compliance obligations in a more consistent and defensible way. StorageMAP gives teams visibility into unstructured data, supporting policies across its lifecycle, taking operational action, and documenting evidence for stakeholders and auditors.

How does StorageMAP support data governance?

StorageMAP enables organizations to understand what unstructured data they have, where it lives, how long it should be retained, and what action should be taken. It combines analytics, policies, automation, reporting, and mobility in one platform.

Can StorageMAP support retention policies?

Yes. With StorageMAP, teams can continuously monitor and enforce retention and governance policies across rapidly growing unstructured datasets. The platform also helps document what was retained, what was removed, and where the data resides.

How does StorageMAP reduce risk exposure?

StorageMAP provides organizations with an optimal solution for finding risky, outdated, ownerless, and improperly stored data, then taking action to archive, relocate, protect, or remove it, which can reduce the blast radius of incidents while improving governance across unstructured storage.

What is defensible deletion?

Defensible deletion is the practice of removing data according to established policy, with enough evidence to show that the decision was intentional, governed, and consistently applied. StorageMAP’s reporting and exportable evidence are intended to support that kind of governance outcome.

What audit evidence is available through StorageMAP?

StorageMAP provides dashboards, automated reports, exportable insights, and chain-of-custody support. Those capabilities make it easier for organizations to show what actions were taken and ensure compliance reporting and regular governance reviews.

Can StorageMAP monitor policy violations?

StorageMAP plays a key role in detecting gaps such as non-compliant retention, ownership uncertainty, and risky data across unstructured data environments.

How does it handle legal risk?

StorageMAP helps organizations identify the data that must be preserved for long-term record keeping, what can be archived, and what can be removed based on your corporate data retention policies. That supports a more disciplined approach to governance and can reduce legal uncertainty created by unmanaged data sprawl and over-retention.

Why not retain everything?

Keeping everything increases storage costs, expands exposure, complicates audits, and creates more legal and security risk.
