Use content analysis, predefined rules, custom terms and optical character recognition to identify and classify sensitive information in different formats.
Visualise data risk
Dashboards and risk scores reveal trends by location, information type and sensitivity, helping teams prioritise the areas requiring attention.
Protect high-value data
Apply controls including masking, de-identification, encryption and file-level protection to reduce exposure while maintaining authorised use.
Reduce unnecessary data
Identify duplicate, redundant, obsolete and low-value information for defensible review and disposal, reducing storage costs and breach exposure.
Govern the data lifecycle Setup
Automate actions such as protection, deletion, export, legal hold or transfer into a managed records repository according to approved policies.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is OpenText Voltage Data Security Platform?
OpenText Voltage Data Security Platform is a data security posture management platform that discovers, classifies, analyses, protects, monitors and governs sensitive data across cloud, on-premises and hybrid environments.
Is OpenText Voltage Data Security Platform the same as CDDRI or Voltage Fusion?
OpenText Voltage Data Security Platform is the current product name for capabilities previously marketed under names including OpenText Core Data Discovery and Risk Insights, or CDDRI, and Voltage Fusion.
What is data security posture management?
Data security posture management, or DSPM, is the process of discovering sensitive data, understanding where it is stored and assessing whether it is appropriately protected. It helps organisations identify exposure and prioritise security improvements across their data estate.
What types of data sources can the platform scan?
The platform can connect to file shares, databases, cloud storage, Microsoft 365, SharePoint, Exchange, OneDrive, Google Drive, Amazon S3, OpenText Content Manager and other enterprise repositories. Additional sources can be connected through available connectors and APIs.
What types of sensitive information can it identify?
Voltage Data Security Platform can identify personally identifiable information, health information, payment card data, intellectual property and other organisation-specific sensitive information. Rules and terminology can be customised to reflect business requirements.
Can it find sensitive information in scanned documents?
Yes. Optical character recognition can identify text within scanned images and media files, allowing sensitive information in image-based documents to be included in discovery and classification activities.
How does data risk scoring work?
The platform analyses factors such as information type, sensitivity, volume and location to create risk insights. Dashboards allow users to review trends and focus on data that presents the greatest potential exposure.
What actions can be taken after sensitive data is identified?
Depending on the information and approved policies, actions can include applying protection, masking or de-identification, changing access, exporting information, placing it on legal hold, deleting it or transferring it to a managed repository.
Can the platform help reduce data breach risk?
Yes. It helps organisations locate sensitive information, identify areas of exposure and apply appropriate security or lifecycle controls. Reducing unnecessary sensitive data can also limit the volume of information potentially affected by a breach.
Can it help reduce storage costs?
Yes. The platform can identify duplicate, redundant, obsolete and trivial data that may no longer provide business value. Following appropriate review and authorisation, this information can be disposed of to reduce storage requirements.
How does the platform support privacy compliance?
Voltage Data Security Platform helps organisations identify regulated and sensitive information, understand where it is held and apply consistent protection, retention and disposal policies. These capabilities support privacy management but do not replace legal or regulatory advice.
Can it protect data used for AI and analytics?
Yes. The platform can identify, classify, enrich and de-identify sensitive information before it is used by AI, machine learning or analytics tools. This helps make data more useful while maintaining privacy and governance controls.
Does it integrate with OpenText Content Manager?
Yes. Identified business records can be transferred to OpenText Content Manager for ongoing records management, retention and disposal. This combines enterprise data discovery with controlled lifecycle management.
Is OpenText Voltage Data Security Platform cloud-based?
The platform has a cloud-first design and supports cloud, on-premises and hybrid data sources. It is available as a SaaS offering and for private cloud deployment.
What services does FYB provide?
FYB helps organisations identify priority data sources, configure discovery and classification requirements, interpret risk insights and integrate Voltage Data Security Platform with information governance processes and OpenText Content Manager.
