Abstract
Methods, systems, and devices for data management are described. A data management system (DMS) may obtain a snapshot of a file system that includes multiple files and permission sets associated with the files. A permission set may indicate one or more access approvals for associated principals. The DMS may scan the files to identify unique pairs each including a unique combination of a respective permission set and a respective sensitive information type. The DMS may store a first mapping that maps the unique pairs to respective values that indicate an amount of sensitive information, of the respective sensitive information type, that is included in one or more files associated with the unique pair. The DMS may identify a respective set of sensitive data types included in files to which a principal has access based on the first mapping and an evaluation of the permission sets.
