System Inventory Overview
The System Inventory allows you to have a comprehensive view of systems within your organization, what personal data they process, and the inherent risk associated with each system. Our goal is to help you understand where privacy risk lives across your organization through ongoing system detection, surfacing PII risk and allowing you to capture the measures in place to manage that risk.
System Inventory Cards
System Inventory Cards are found at the top of the System Inventory page and include high-level information about your Systems List.
Card Name | Description |
---|---|
New Systems Added | DataGrail will continuously detect new systems within your organization. The New Systems card will show all new systems detected and added in the last 30 days. |
Systems with Sensitive Personal Information | Quickly filter for systems that likely process Sensitive Personal Information. DataGrail's Intelligence Library infers this information based on known use cases and publicly available resources. |
Systems with AI Detected | Quickly filter for systems likely to utilize Artificial Intelligence or automated decision making. DataGrail's Intelligence Library infers this information based on known use cases and publicly available resources. |

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I export the System Inventory?
Yes! You can export the results to see everything on this page by selecting the Download dropdown and selecting the CSV or TSV export options.
How do I remove a system from my System Inventory if it’s been automatically detected by another system or it’s been manually added by a user?
Find the system you’d like to remove. From here, look to the far-right side of the System Inventory and select the ellipses. This will launch a pop-up with a Remove System button in red.
What happens to the system once I remove it from the System Inventory list?
Removed systems will not be surfaced in your inventory again by DataGrail's System Detection. If the system was detected by another third-party system, it will only populate in the Add New System dropdown under Detected Systems (as shown in the image below).
What should I do if no results are found when I search for a Third Party System in the Add New System dropdown?
If you’ve searched for a Third Party System in the dropdown, first double check that the system has not already been added to your system inventory. If it hasn’t, you can either select Custom System and add details, or you can reach out to support@datagrail.io with the third-party system name and domain. We will work to have that system available for you to add.
