Stale Data Discovery & Governance
Hidden Data is Hidden Risk. Reclaim your Storage. Secure your Core.
In most enterprises, up to 60% of data is "Dark Data"—stale files, orphaned spreadsheets, and forgotten backups. This data serves no business purpose but remains a prime target for ransomware and a major hurdle for regulatory compliance. Actonix scans your hybrid storage environment to shine a light on stale data and automate its lifecycle.
🔍 Visibility: Automated Data Age Analysis
Actonix provides a granular "Heat Map" of your data ecosystem, identifying files based on last access, last modification, and creation dates.
-
Orphaned Data Detection: Identify folders owned by SIDs (Security Identifiers) that no longer exist in Active Directory (e.g., deleted employees).
-
Multi-Platform Scanning: Unified visibility across Windows File Servers, NAS devices, and OneDrive for Business.
-
High-Scale Indexing: Unlike legacy scanners that crawl slowly, the Actonix engine uses a high-performance metadata crawler to index millions of files without impacting server performance.
⚖️ Governance: DPDP & Compliance Alignment
The Digital Personal Data Protection (DPDP) Act mandates that personal data should not be stored longer than necessary. Actonix automates this "Right to Erasure."
-
Retention Policy Enforcement: Set global rules (e.g., "Any PII-heavy folder untouched for 3 years must be archived").
-
Legal Hold Protection: Ensure that while stale data is cleaned up, any data marked for "Legal Hold" remains untouched and immutable.
⚡ Action: Automated Remediation & Tiering
Don't just find the data—fix the problem. Actonix provides "One-Click" actions to manage your data lifecycle.
-
Smart Archiving: Move stale data to lower-cost AWS S3 or cold storage, leaving "stub files" behind so users can still find them if needed.
-
Secure Deletion: Permanently wipe data that violates security policies, ensuring it cannot be recovered by unauthorized actors.
-
Permission Tightening: If data must remain, Actonix can automatically strip "Everyone" or "Domain Users" permissions from stale folders, restricting access to only the original data owner.
