High Accuracy in Sensitive Data Identification
The Tolly report assessed 1touch.io Inventa’s performance in scanning structured (database) and unstructured (flat file) data, along with image data using OCR, and Microsoft Exchange emails.
The benchmark tests revealed market-leading accuracy:
- Structured Data: 98.6% accuracy rate in identifying PII in a structured PostgreSQL database with over 60 million rows.
- Unstructured Data: 100% accuracy in detecting sensitive data across 200 text files.
This accuracy is vital for organizations handling sensitive information, ensuring that compliance and security remain uncompromised.
1touch.io Inventa’s discovery accuracy rate stems from sophisticated algorithms that recognize a broad range of sensitive data indicators, patterns, anomalies, and specific data types. The platform’s customizable data identification rules enable it to adapt to the unique regulatory and policy requirements of any enterprise.
Inventa’s versatility across various data types—structured and unstructured data, images, and emails—ensures comprehensive coverage across different formats and sources.
Mastering Throughput at Scale
Tests focused on scanning “at scale” with datasets containing tens of millions of records and hundreds of thousands of files. Inventa demonstrated robust capabilities in managing large volumes while maintaining high accuracy and throughput.
Throughput benchmarks across databases, file shares, images, and emails showed Inventa’s efficiency:
- Database Scanning: 60 million rows in 25 seconds.
- File Share Handling: Over 700,000 files processed at the rate of 8 large .pdf files per second and 286 images per hour.
| Data Type | Throughput |
| PostgreSQL Database | 2.5 GB/second |
| Unstructured Data (Files) | 8 Files/second |
| OCR (Image Data) | 286 Images/hour |
| 1.5 Emails/second |
These metrics underscore Inventa’s capacity to offer rapid data security and compliance insights, critical for maintaining a strong security posture in large environments. The platform’s architecture, designed for high-volume data processing and parallel processing capabilities boost throughput, making it suitable for growing data environments.
Real-time data processing is a key feature of Inventa, enabling prompt decision-making and rapid threat response, ensuring enterprises have the latest information readily available.
