What Do Privacy Teams Really Need from Data Discovery Tools?

Welcome, and thank you for supporting this community-led research initiative. I’m an independent privacy professional exploring how organizations manage personal data discovery under global privacy laws (like GDPR, CCPA, DPDP).

This short survey (6–8 minutes) is focused exclusively on the real challenges and unmet needs around discovering and classifying personal/PII data across cloud, SaaS, and hybrid systems.

Your input will directly contribute to a better understanding of what’s working, what’s not, and what the privacy community truly needs from next-generation discovery tools.

All responses are confidential. You’ll receive an anonymized insights summary if requested at the end.

Thank you for supporting this effort—your perspective helps shape practical, privacy-first innovation.
