CloudLock Compliance Scan

“Enterprises handling sensitive data, including personally identifiable information, have a responsibility to protect access to this information regardless of whether the information is kept on-premises or in a cloud-based provider. Moving to the cloud doesn’t remove this responsibility, nor does it shift it solely to the cloud provider– enterprise security policies must be extended to cloud-based information and we need to be able to show compliance with these policies.”

Neil MacDonald, Vice President and Gartner Fellow


As more companies begin using Google Drive (Docs) as their primary cloud file server, they need the ability to identify and protect Personally Identifiable Information (PII) stored and shared in Google Docs.

Personally Identifiable Information (PII) is information that can be used to uniquely identify, contact, or locate a single individual. A few examples:

  • Credit card numbers
  • Social Security numbers
  • Phone numbers, addresses, and other sensitive data
