Mapping PII Across a Legacy Estate Before the Auditors Do

The question you should be able to answer

Where does personal data live in your system, and who can see it? For many legacy estates, the honest answer is "we're not entirely sure." That's a compliance gap waiting to become an incident.

PII, traced end to end

CodeIQ Pro flags personal-data columns and follows them through the graph: from column to table, to the functions that read and write it, to the screens that render it. The result is an exposure map — every PII field and every place it surfaces.

From unknown to inventory

Instead of a spreadsheet someone updated two years ago, you get a current, evidence-backed inventory of sensitive data flows across the whole estate — generated from the code, not from memory.

Governance that lasts

Because it's part of the graph, the PII map updates as the code changes, feeds the standards checks in code-Guard, and is preserved through modernization by the parity gate. Protecting personal data becomes a continuous property of the system, not a scramble before an audit.
