Question on: SAI360

Does Compliance 360 easily integrate with SalesForce?

Hi Heather, we do not have an out of the box integration with Salesforce, but can use the open API with Compliance 360 to access both C360 and SF data. The support and services team can certainly assist with that integration. Regards SAI Global Team.

Question on: SAI360

When with C360 be supporting Microsoft office 2016?

The online edit feature is not supported for those currently using Microsoft office 2016. The process of checking out documents and back in is a bit of a time drain. would love to use this feature and it would be nice to have consistency for training purposes as opposed to teaching various methods to do the same actions.

Hi, thanks for the question. We do now support Office 2016 and it will be updated soon into the Systems requirements documentation. If you would like assistance please work with the support team who will be only too glad to assist. SAI Global team.

What are the best sensitive data discovery solutions for identifying PII across enterprise databases without excessive complexity?

What are the best sensitive data discovery solutions for finding PII across enterprise databases without drowning in complexity? I keep coming back to this because the enterprise tools that find the most can also be the hardest to stand up, so simplicity matters. A few from the sensitive data discovery category:

Ground Labs Enterprise Recon: reviewers point to broad, mostly agentless PII and cardholder-data discovery with recurring scheduled scans.
Nightfall AI: a lightweight, mostly agentless setup reviewers describe as just working, with fast time to value.
Securiti: automated discovery and mapping across clouds, though reviewers note real setup and tuning time.
Egnyte: simple to deploy for cloud file data, though lighter on deep database security.

If you rolled one of these out across enterprise databases, which gave you real PII coverage without a months-long project? And where did complexity sneak back in?

"Agentless" is doing double duty in these descriptions, it's being used as shorthand for ease of setup, but it's also a real coverage-scope decision worth separating out. An agentless scanner generally only sees data at rest that it's been granted read access to at scan time, so PII that passes through transiently, application logs, message queues, cached query results, can slip past it in a way a more invasive, agent-based approach would catch. The same architectural choice that makes Ground Labs or Nightfall fast to stand up is also what defines their specific blind spot, so "agentless equals simple" is true, but it's not the whole story on coverage, and that's probably where the complexity this post is trying to avoid ends up sneaking back in anyway, just later, when something transient gets missed.
