Your sensitive data is scattered — and you can't see it
PII lives in databases, S3 buckets, file shares, and CSVs nobody remembers. Pelestra scans every source in-place with context-aware detection to surface real findings, not noise.
A Dotnitron Product — Data Security & Governance
Discover, classify, and protect PII across databases, cloud storage, and file systems — deployed on-premise with Docker, scanning in-place, never persisting raw data.
Records Secured
Context-Aware Detection
Time to First Scan
Zero Data Movement
The Problem
PII lives in databases, S3 buckets, file shares, and CSVs nobody remembers. Manual discovery is slow, incomplete, and always out of date. Pelestra replaces guesswork with automated, in-place scanning that surfaces real findings — not noise.
Sensitive data scattered across databases, cloud storage, and file systems with no centralized visibility
Regex-only detection flooding teams with false positives while missing context-dependent PII
Manual audits producing stale snapshots that are outdated before they're finished
Cross-border data transfers happening without detection or lineage tracking
Platform Capabilities
Purpose-built for enterprise security and data engineering teams who need reliable, governed visibility across their data landscape.
PII lives in databases, S3 buckets, file shares, and CSVs nobody remembers. Pelestra scans every source in-place with context-aware detection to surface real findings, not noise.
Multi-tier scanning: pattern matching, NLP-based Named Entity Recognition, and exact data match for zero false positives. Reads column headers and surrounding context.
PostgreSQL, S3, Azure Blob, local filesystems, and more. Read-only, agentless connections — your data never moves or gets copied.
Air-gapped Docker delivery with cryptographic licensing. SSO, RBAC, and immutable audit trails — your perimeter, your rules.
Track how sensitive data flows between systems. Detect cross-border transfers and visualize lineage graphs — turning discovery into actionable risk mitigation.
How It Works
From source connection to compliance-ready findings in minutes — no ETL pipelines, no data movement, no analyst backlog.
Agentless connectors for PostgreSQL, S3, Azure Blob, local file systems, and more. Read-only — your data never moves.
Define scan policies with glob patterns — get PII findings with confidence scores and context in minutes.
Monitor discovery volume and PII density across sources in real time. Track lineage before sensitive data spreads.
Detection Engine
Advanced pattern matching, Natural Language Processing, and Exact Data Match (EDM) find hard-to-detect PII across databases and buckets. Confidence scoring reduces false positives so teams focus only on real issues.
Regex patterns detect structured PII — credit cards, phone numbers, national IDs. Fast, broad, and configurable per jurisdiction.
Named Entity Recognition identifies context-dependent PII — names, addresses, organizations — that regex alone cannot catch.
Compare against known datasets for zero false-positive confirmation. Column headers and surrounding context validate every finding.
Enterprise Security
Every layer of Pelestra is designed for in-place scanning, zero data movement, and full auditability.
PostgreSQL, S3, Azure Blob, file systems — read-only, zero data movement
Regex, NLP, and exact data match with column-header context
Data is streamed and chunked in memory — raw PII is never stored
Track sensitive data flows and detect cross-border transfers
Board-ready PDF and CSV exports of findings and asset matrices
Every scan, finding, and action logged with full provenance
Per-engagement enforcement via secure licensing bricks
SAML, OIDC, and role-appropriate access control
Deployment
Pelestra ships as Docker containers, deployable in air-gapped environments. Per-engagement cryptographic licensing ensures secure, localized delivery for partner deployments like KPMG.
