Frequently Asked Questions
GEODI DSPM (Data Security Posture Management) is an AI-powered platform that discovers, classifies, and protects sensitive data wherever it lives — across emails, documents, databases, cloud storage, and on-premise systems. It unifies discovery, classification, remediation, and workflow automation into a single platform.
It’s designed for CISOs, Data Protection Officers (DPOs), IT Managers, and security teams who need to secure sensitive data, meet regulatory requirements, and reduce risk at scale. Whether you’re a small organization or a global enterprise with thousands of users, GEODI scales to meet your needs. The platform is trusted by over 200,000 users across 30+ countries.
Not at all. GEODI DSPM is designed to be accessible to a wide range of professionals — from IT generalists to dedicated security and compliance teams.
The platform provides role-based dashboards tailored specifically for CISOs, DPOs, and IT Managers, giving each user real-time visibility into what matters most to them. The AI handles the heavy lifting — automatically discovering and classifying sensitive data — so you don’t need to be a data security expert to understand where your risks are and what actions to take. The platform translates complex security findings into clear, actionable insights that anyone can work with.
DSPM stands for Data Security Posture Management. It’s a strategic approach to continuously discovering, classifying, and protecting sensitive data across your entire organization.
Here’s why you need it: data is everywhere today — in emails, file shares, cloud storage, databases, and endpoints. Sensitive information like PII, PCI, PHI, and confidential business data can easily end up in places it shouldn’t be. Without a DSPM solution, you’re flying blind — unable to see where your sensitive data lives, who has access to it, or whether you’re complying with regulations like GDPR, HIPAA, PCI DSS, or local privacy laws. GEODI DSPM gives you that visibility and the automated tools to act on it.
GEODI automatically discovers and classifies a wide range of sensitive and regulated data:
- Sensitive Data: PII (personally identifiable information), PCI (payment card data), PHI (protected health information), and confidential business data
- Permission Data: Who has access to what — and who shouldn’t
- Duplicate Data: Redundant and versioned content that creates storage waste and risk
- Shadow Data: Forgotten or unmonitored data across endpoints, emails, and backups
- Relationship Data: How data connects, moves, and duplicates across systems
- Owner Data: Who owns each piece of data, mapped to real users and departments
- Compliance Gaps: Unclassified, unprotected, or ungoverned data
The platform supports over 200 data sources and adapters, covering everything from file servers and Microsoft Teams to S3, MinIO, databases, and email platforms.
You’re right — emails are one of the biggest hidden data repositories in any organization, full of attachments, PII, PCI, and confidential information.
GEODI DSPM discovers and protects your entire mail ecosystem. It scans and classifies sensitive data across Outlook, Exchange, and Gmail. It identifies risky attachments and overshared content automatically. And it applies remediation workflows — delete, mask, quarantine, or encrypt — either instantly or through consent-based approvals that keep data owners in control. Every step is audited for compliance with GDPR, PDPL, ISO 27001, and other regulations.
The biggest difference is continuous discovery. Traditional tools run periodic scans — they stop. GEODI DSPM never stops.
Data never rests. Every second, new documents, messages, and databases appear across your cloud and on-prem environments. GEODI monitors changes in real time, detects newly created or modified data instantly, and classifies and assesses risk automatically with AI. You get continuous alerts and dashboards. Your data grows nonstop — so does your protection.
Another key differentiator is the seven dimensions of discovery. GEODI doesn’t just find files — it understands your data: who owns it, who has access, where duplicates exist, what’s hidden in shadow systems, how data connects across platforms, and where compliance gaps exist. That’s visibility you simply don’t get from basic discovery tools.
Discovery is just the beginning. GEODI turns insight into action with a full range of automated, policy-driven capabilities:
- Classify: Automatic or manual classification for Office, SharePoint, OWA, and legacy data — fully unified with your labeling policies
- Remediate: Delete, mask, encrypt, or quarantine data across cloud, on-prem systems, databases, and email platforms
- Mask & Anonymize: Apply permanent or role-based masking across files and databases, or anonymize data safely for testing, analytics, and data science teams
- Govern: Enterprise-wide visibility into permissions, high-risk access detection, and consent-based remediation with approval-driven, transparent control
- Search & Chat: Cut search time, uncover critical insights, and create private, on-prem AI assistants powered by your own data
The platform delivers a 30–50% reduction in manual remediation hours through AI-driven classification and automated workflows.
GEODI DSPM is built from the ground up to help you meet — and prove — compliance. It supports global regulations including GDPR, PCI DSS, and HIPAA, as well as local requirements like SAMA, NCA, and PDPL in Saudi Arabia.
The platform provides:
- Automated discovery and classificationof personal and regulated data
- Policy-driven enforcementwith consent-based remediation and approvals
- Compliance dashboardstracking exposure, access, and remediation status
- Ready-to-use reportssupporting GDPR, CCPA, and other frameworks
- Full audit trailsfor regulators and internal reviews
You stay audit-ready at all times with defensible, traceable evidence of compliance. No more scrambling before an audit.
GEODI is designed for rapid deployment with minimal disruption. The platform uses a 14-day Proof of Concept (PoC) model, allowing you to see the platform in action with your own data before committing.
The platform is cloud-native and works across hybrid environments — cloud, SaaS, on-premise, and everything in between. It comes with over 200 pre-built adapters for common data sources, so you’re not starting from scratch. Most organizations are up and running in weeks, not months.
GEODI DSPM includes comprehensive in-platform documentation, methodology guides, and validation reports. The platform’s transparency features let your team inspect every step of the discovery, classification, and remediation process — providing all the technical depth you need without requiring external documents.
