Data Hygiene

Locate old, unused content that AI can still discover, then clean or archive it. Don’t let outdated info slip through the cracks and become tomorrow’s leak.

The Scenario

scenario-data-hygineYears of projects hide in SharePoint, OneDrive, and Teams. With the right query, Copilot can easily surface a 2016 salary sheet or a shelved M&A deck. Compliance wants to delete the files, and IT has enough to do without scouring the entire database.

How It Works: Outcome-Driven Steps

One-click Connect

No-code deployment and hassle-free setup.

Automatically Crawl

Scan titles, timestamps, and owners without agents or downtime.

Age & Usage Scoring

Files and chats are ranked by last open date, sensitivity label, and AI exposure potential.

Surface Digital Debt

Heat-maps show the locations of every piece of discoverable data, new and old.

One-Click Cleanup

Push tasks to data owners or auto-archive; then re-scan to prove the clutter is gone.
