Situation

Panda Data Control is a data security module, integrated in the platforms of Adaptive Defense products, designed to help you to comply with the personal data regulations, protect and give you visibility into the personal data or PII (Personal Identifiable Information) of your organization both in real time and throughout their life cycle when they reside in the posts and servers. Panda Data Control discovers, audits and monitors unstructured personal data, more specifically Office, OpenOffice, PDF, txt and csv files, at the endpoint: from data at rest, data in use, and data in motion.



In order for the Panda Data Control to be able to track personal information, it is necessary to have the Microsoft Filter Pack component installed on the computers.
