VaultMate scans text-based files for sensitive information, including:
  • Documents: .txt, .doc, .docx, .pdf, .rtf
  • Spreadsheets: .xls, .xlsx, .csv
  • Code files: .py, .js, .java, .cs, .cpp, etc.
  • Data files: .json, .xml, .yaml
  • Log files: .log
Binary files like images and videos are not scanned for content.

The GDPR risk score (0-10) is calculated based on several factors:
  • Type of data: PII, PHI, and HIPAA data receive higher scores
  • Sensitivity: SSNs, credit cards, and medical records score higher than names or emails
  • Volume: Files with multiple sensitive data points score higher
  • Context: Unencrypted storage of sensitive data increases the score
Scores 7-10 are high risk, 4-6 are medium, and 0-3 are low risk.

We recommend different scan frequencies based on your organization's needs:
  • Daily: For high-security environments or devices with frequently changing files
  • Weekly: Standard recommendation for most organizations
  • Monthly: For devices with relatively static content
You can configure scan schedules in the dashboard under Scan Configuration.

  • On the server: We retain the last 10 scans per device. Older scans are automatically purged.
  • On the agent: Reports are retained locally for 72 hours after upload, then automatically cleaned up.
You can download and archive reports at any time from the dashboard.
