The Uncomfortable Truth About Sensitive Data Visibility in Hybrid Estates

Posted: 9th Oct 2025

The practical guide to data classification that works across hybrid complexity - insights from data governance and security leaders who've solved this challenge.

You know where some of your sensitive data is. But not all of it.

Your hybrid estate spans cloud, on-prem, and SaaS environments. Somewhere in that complexity, production data is sitting in places it shouldn't be. Legacy tools give you partial visibility. Manual processes don't scale. And "we think we know" isn't an audit-ready answer.

The uncomfortable truth? You can't govern what you can't see.
