The seven views
| View | Answers |
|---|---|
| Findings | What is wrong, and where. Grouped by control by default; switch to the flat list for one row per finding. |
| Data Types | What you hold, across the estate. Which classifier, in how many stores, and under which jurisdiction. |
| Data Stores | The inventory. Every store, what was found in it, and whether it was read at all. |
| Data Flows | Declared movement between stores — direction, whether it crosses a jurisdiction boundary, and whether it is encrypted in transit. |
| Asset Graph | Reachability. Which identities can reach which stores, which stores are reachable from the internet, and a blast-radius table ranking stores by how many principals can read, write or delete them. |
| Coverage | The denominator. How much of the estate has actually been read. |
| Region Overview | Where the data physically sits — the residency question. |
Reading a finding
Opening a finding shows the store it is on, and with it the four things that decide whether it matters.What data is in it
The classifiers that matched, how many times, and in how many distinct
objects. A store with no content scan says so rather than showing zero.
Who can reach it
Every principal with a grant on the store, worst first: admin, then external,
then access nobody has used in ninety days. This is the identity data from
Cloud Security joined onto the store — not a second scan, and not a second
opinion about who has access.
How long it is kept
The retention period, and — the load-bearing part — whether a lifecycle rule
actually enforces it or a tag merely declares it. A store tagged with a
seven-year retention that expires nothing is called out, because the gap
between the two is what a retention review is looking for.
Access, and what “unused” means
The access panel separates three states that are easy to merge and should not be:- Active — used within the last ninety days.
- Unused in 90 days — a grant nobody has exercised. The candidate for removal.
- Activity unknown — the provider has never reported activity for this principal.
Why a store shows no accessors
Access is resolved by ARN. A store type that has no cloud ARN — Snowflake, Kafka, a Kubernetes volume, a Git repository — cannot be resolved that way, and the panel says access is unknown rather than showing an empty list. An empty list on a bucket eighty principals can write to would be the most dangerous thing this page could render.Why a size or a record count is blank
Object stores expose neither a size nor an object count on any control-plane call, so both are measured from provider storage metrics or from a content scan’s own enumeration. Until one of those has run, the store’s size reads not measured rather than0.
The same rule governs record counts, coverage states and sensitivity verdicts
throughout the product. A zero would be a claim; a blank is the absence of one.
If a number you expect is blank, check the Coverage view first. It
separates read, could not be read and not read yet, and the reason is
almost always there.
