How DataBeagle works

Discover, analyze, govern, and modernize enterprise data through AI-powered automation.

How It Works

Six stages. One trusted platform.

DataBeagle follows a structured six-phase methodology, connecting to your existing storage, understanding what exists, applying intelligence and governance, and ultimately making your data AI-ready. Each phase builds on the last, delivering value at every step.

Stage 1

Connect and discover

DataBeagle connects to all enterprise storage sources including CIFS, NFS, SMB, cloud buckets, email archives, SharePoint, legacy systems, and more. It crawls and indexes every file, identifying type, size, age, ownership, and access patterns without disrupting existing systems.

Stage 2

Classify and understand

Using AI and Object Intelligence Services, DataBeagle classifies content by type, sensitivity, and risk. OCR unlocks scanned documents. Speech-to-text processes audio files. Image recognition identifies visual content. Personal and regulated data is flagged automatically.
OCR and Speech-to-Text   |   PII detection   |   GenAI classification   |   Risk scoring

Stage 3

Govern and comply

Policy-based governance rules are applied across the discovered data estate. Retention schedules, legal holds, access controls, and compliance tags are enforced automatically. GDPR, DPDP, and financial regulatory obligations are mapped and tracked continuously.
GDPR and DPDP   |   Legal hold   |   Retention policies   |   Defensible deletion

Stage 4

Search and investigate

Enterprise-wide semantic search allows users to find any piece of information across all sources in seconds. Investigators can conduct search, manage digital evidence with full chain-of-custody, and build defensible case files, all from one interface.

Stage 5

AI-enable with helios

DataBeagle Helios transforms governed, enriched data into a trusted knowledge base for AI agents and LLMs. Data is chunked, embedded, and made available through structured APIs so your AI initiatives are built on a foundation you can actually trust.

Stage 6

Migrate and archive

With full visibility established, DataBeagle enables confident migration decisions. Move, archive, or delete data with complete audit trails. Storage refresh projects become risk-free. Legacy systems are decommissioned cleanly, with nothing important left behind.

Flexible Deployment Options
  • On-premise Full deployment within your data center. No data ever leaves your perimeter. Ideal for air-gapped and high-security environments.
  • Cloud native Deploy on AWS, Azure, or GCP. Scale elastically with your data volumes. No infrastructure management overhead.
  • Hybrid Govern data across on-premise and cloud sources from a single control plane, the most common pattern for large enterprises.
  • Air-gapped Fully isolated deployments for defense, intelligence, and government environments with classified data requirements.

Supercharge your data with intelligence

What Happens at Each Stage
  • Discovery and metadata indexing Build a complete inventory and metadata map of all data across storage systems. Departments: IT, Governance, Security.
  • ROT analysis and classification Identify redundant, obsolete, and trivial data. Prioritize what to act on. Departments: Governance, Security, Records.
  • Content extraction and enrichment Data Mobility. Safely migrate, archive, or decommission data across storage systems with full audit trails, policy enforcement, and zero data loss.
  • Risk and governance control Detect sensitive data, apply policy, and enforce compliance controls at scale. Departments: Compliance, CISO.
  • Search and investigation Enable enterprise search and evidence discovery across all sources and file types. Departments: Legal, Compliance, Investigations.
  • AI knowledge activation Turn governed content into trusted AI knowledge. Departments: Business, AI/ML, Knowledge Teams.
  • Migration, retention and defensible disposal Move, retain, archive, and dispose of data with full auditability. Departments: IT, Records, Compliance.
