The problem

Sensitive data spreads faster than you think it does.

A DSAR arrives on a Friday afternoon. You have one month to respond. Where does the clock start when you don't know where the data is?

Uncontrolled data sprawl

Employee files, exports, and downloads scatter sensitive data across hundreds of devices - the exact data auditors and attackers both come looking for.

One-month DSAR clock

Data subject requests arrive without warning. Manual searches take weeks you don't have.

Audit evidence on demand

Regulators want proof, not promises. Without continuous scanning you're building reports from memory.

The alternative

Enterprise compliance tools weren't built for you.

Enterprise tools

  • 6-month deployments
  • Mandatory security teams
  • Expensive professional services
  • Overbuilt SIEM integrations
  • Pricing designed for Fortune 500

EmberHound

  • Deploys as fast as an afternoon
  • Works with a team of one
  • No consultants, no drama
  • Lightweight agent, no integrations
  • Transparent pricing for lean teams

You don't need complexity. You need clarity.
