data discovery & classification
Know where your data lives. Automate what happens next.
Transcend scans your structured databases to find and classify sensitive data. Those classifications feed directly into your data inventory, powering DSR Automation, so fulfilling access and deletion requests doesn't mean someone hand-writing queries against every system you own.

The Status QuoBefore you know if you can use the data, can you even find it?
Most discovery tools stop at the system layer: they'll confirm you have a Snowflake instance or an S3 bucket, but not whether it holds a customer's SSN or a health record. You can't answer "can I use this data" until you know what's actually inside it.
The opportunity
Transcend's discovery and classification engine powers DSR automation at scale
System-agnostic visibility
Discovery and classification across databases and warehouses, including Snowflake, MongoDB, Redshift, BigQuery, and Salesforce. All from one system.
Secure by design, not just fast
Data Discovery & Classification runs through Sombra so data gets classified where it lives. Only the classification result ever reaches Transcend, never the raw data.
Built to connect, not sit in a silo
Data Discovery & Classification connects natively into DSR Automation, feeding classification results straight into request fulfillment.
why transcendDiscover data differently, on purpose
Classification runs on your side. We never reach in.
Data gets classified inside your own infrastructure, not pulled into ours. The raw data never leaves, we never touch the API keys.

Classification that writes the query for you
Once something's found, Transcend doesn't just flag it. Classification results feed automated SQL query generation in DSR Automation, so fulfilling a request doesn't mean someone manually writing queries against every system you found.

Discovery that surfaces what's connected, and what isn't
Scanning structured systems doesn't just classify known data, it surfaces systems you didn't know were feeding your stack. Full shadow AI and system discovery lives in its own workflow, but classification results flag the gap the moment it shows up.

The sombra difference for sensitive data use cases
Secure-by-design with Sombra
Sombra is Transcend's self-hosted, zero-trust security gateway, the only secure-by-design architecture built to handle your most sensitive data. With two-way encryption, it runs entirely inside your infrastructure and keeps your API keys, so we never see it.
THE most complete integrations
Native integrations for structured discovery
Transcend integrates with your structured databases and warehouses, from internal systems to SaaS tools like Snowflake and Salesforce. Every integration is built and managed in-house on a zero-trust, secure architecture, so classification results reach DSR Automation the moment they're found. Custom integrations available.
“30 days after purchasing Transcend we had data mapping + classification running on our 1500+ systems (homegrown and SaaS tools), had a full ROPA ready to go, and had automated our DSR flows.”

One discovery and classification engine, every workflow and team
Activate AI responsibly at enterprise scale
Transcend helps CIOs, IT, and AI transformation leaders answer "Can I use this data?" in real time by encoding permissions directly into the systems that process customer data to unblock AI and agentic initiatives.
Build once, deploy everywhere automatically
Transcend turns governance into real-time data decisions. Delivered through APIs and embedded into your architecture, it enforces permissions where data is used - enabling AI and agentic initiatives without governance overhead.
Automated policy enforcement with real-time evidence
Only Transcend can answer “can I use this data” in real-time by encoding permissions, jurisdictions, and business policy directly into the systems that process customer data. Humans in the loop only if you choose.
Airtight governance for the most sensitive data
Only Transcend enforces permissions and policies where customer data is used. Sombra's secure-by-design, two-way encrypted architecture ensures your API keys and sensitive data never leave your environment.

Find what's hiding in systems you already trust
Discovery doesn't stop at known systems. Vendors add new models and teams turn on new features inside tools you've already connected, so classification surfaces those gaps as they appear.
One framework. Every team aligned.
