Data Discovery

Every data store. Every schema. Continuously.

PostQKey runs agentless discovery on 40+ cloud data stores. No agents to deploy. No data leaves your environment. Schema snapshots updated on a configurable schedule.

Four steps from connection to inventory.

1

Connect via read-only credentials

Provide an OAuth token, IAM role ARN, or service account. PostQKey uses read-only permissions only. Nothing is written to your environment. You can revoke access in the same UI where you granted it.

2

Enumerate stores and schemas

PostQKey lists all available buckets, tables, schemas, and file shares in your connected account. For warehouses: full schema traversal including future grants and inherited schemas. For object stores: scan by prefix and extension (CSV, JSON, Parquet, PDF, XLSX). New stores added to the account after the initial scan are picked up automatically on the next scheduled run.

3

Sample and analyze

PostQKey samples up to 1,000 rows per table (configurable). Object stores: samples up to 500 objects per bucket, selects by extension (CSV, JSON, Parquet, PDF, XLSX). No sampled data is stored server-side.

4

Build the structured inventory

Results are assembled into a structured inventory record per data store: type, region, owner, schema snapshot, last_modified, estimated row count, classification results, and exposure score. Updated on your chosen schedule.

What the inventory includes for every data store.

Field Description Example
data_store_id Unique internal identifier ds-sf-prod-001
type Connector type snowflake / s3 / salesforce
region Cloud region or datacenter us-east-1
owner Mapped IAM account or org unit [email protected]
schema_snapshot Current table/column structure JSON schema object
estimated_rows Approximate row count 4,200,000
pii_detected Whether PII was found true
classification_confidence Highest confidence score across fields 0.94
exposure_score Composite risk score (0-100) 82

Read-only access. No agents. No data stored beyond metadata.
