Abstract
This disclosure describes techniques that include assessing whether various service providers, such as cloud service providers or SaaS providers, are properly maintaining sensitive data (e.g., private, confidential, and/or non-public information) that is entrusted to them. In one example, this disclosure describes a method that includes collecting, by a computing system, information about interactions with a service provider computing system; identifying, based on the information about the interactions, a plurality of network paths, each associated with a data object accessed at the service provider computing system; requesting, based on the plurality of network paths, data from the service provider computing system; receiving a response; determining, based on the response, whether the response includes sensitive information; and taking action based on whether the response includes sensitive data.
