Gimmal Discover by Gimmal is a comprehensive data governance and eDiscovery software solution designed to support organizations in identifying, managing, and securing sensitive information across various repositories. With growing regulatory pressures such as GDPR, CCPA, and HIPAA, organizations must ensure strict compliance and data oversight, especially in industries like legal, healthcare, and government. Gimmal Discover rises to this challenge by offering a wide array of tools that streamline sensitive data discovery and classification while enabling effective risk mitigation strategies through automated policy enforcement. One of Gimmal Discover’s most notable strengths lies in its powerful classification engine, which can detect personally identifiable information (PII) and other sensitive content across structured and unstructured data sources, such as local drives, PST files, Microsoft Exchange, SharePoint, OneDrive, Box, and Google Workspace. This automated tagging capability allows organizations to implement retention policies efficiently, enforce compliance, and manage risk proactively. Complementing this is the platform’s “8 Weeks to Delete” initiative—a strategic workflow that walks organizations through an eight-week program to eliminate redundant, obsolete, or trivial (ROT) data, ensuring long-term data hygiene and storage optimization.
