CST VerdictBased on our analysis of NIST CSF 2.0 coverage, core features, company size fit, deployment model, here is our conclusion:
Compliance teams and security ops in startups through mid-market need PII Crawler PII Scanner to inventory unencrypted personal data before it becomes a breach liability; the tool runs air-gapped on-premises, meaning sensitive data never leaves your network during scanning. It supports continuous monitoring across laptops, shared drives, and databases with a one-time license covering unlimited users and machines, making the unit economics work for resource-constrained teams. Skip this if you need post-discovery remediation workflows or automated redaction; PII Crawler identifies the problem and exports results, but leaves the fix to you.
Mid-market and enterprise security teams with distributed endpoints and strict compliance obligations should start here; Tanium Reveal finds PII, PHI, and regulated data in place across Windows, Mac, and Linux without staging or copying files, which cuts both discovery time and data movement risk. Pre-built content for GDPR, HIPAA, PCI, and CCPA means you're not building detection rules from scratch, and the SQLite indexing model scales better than some competitors when datasets are large. Skip this if you need cloud-native data classification or heavy integration with your existing DLP stack; Tanium Reveal is endpoint-focused and on-premises only.
