Up to 90% of the corporate and government data collected or generated remains hidden in unstructured text and image files, documents, NoSQL databases, or other so-called dark data repositories. To mitigate the legal, financial, and reputational risks of disclosing personally identifiable information (PII) in these often obscure sources and to comply with data protection laws such as the GDPR, you need a way to quickly locate and protect the PII in these sources.

From the makers of the award-winning IRI FieldShield and CellShield data masking software in the IRI Data Protection Suite and IRI Voracity Platform, comes IRI DarkShield, a compatible new product for detecting, provisioning, de-identifying, and detailing PII and other sensitive data in unstructured files.

IRI DarkShield represents a breakthrough in unstructured data masking technology, speed, ease of use, and affordability. DarkShield consolidates (plus multi-threads) the discovery, extraction, correction, and reporting of PII across various file formats and folders on your network, or in the cloud. DarkShield combines the best of IRI Data Masking, proven search technologies, and Eclipse™ into a single, easy-to-use interface to run everything at once or on a scheduled basis. And, as always, IRI makes this solution affordable through flexible licensing options based on source volume, license duration, and other needed features.
