ML-powered data discovery tool for identifying and classifying sensitive data

Checked October 2026.

## What is Protegrity Data Discovery?

Protegrity Data Discovery is a data classification tool that identifies and classifies sensitive data across structured and unstructured sources. The product uses a dual-model architecture combining a machine learning language model (RoBERTa) with a rules-based engine (Presidio) to detect PII, PHI, PCI, and intellectual property.

The tool processes unstructured data including natural language text, transcripts, documents, chatbot logs, support tickets, and free-text fields. It provides real-time redaction capabilities for chatbot conversations, automated cleanup of call center transcripts and medical notes, and pre-processing for GenAI RAG pipelines to prevent PII leakage into LLM prompts.

Protegrity Data Discovery offers API access through a REST API and Python SDK for integration into applications and workflows. The product can be deployed using Docker containers or Kubernetes environments including AWS EKS for cloud-native scalability.

Classification outputs include standard entity types such as PERSON, EMAIL, PHONE, ADDRESS, and CREDIT_CARD, along with confidence scores and character position data for targeted redaction or masking. Discovery results can be fed into Protegrity Governance for policy creation and protection rule refinement.
