Discovery Scan

Discovery Scan inspects the content of all files in the tenant that are modified over the selected date range. Umbrella assesses files in the selected tenant as they are scanned upon content change and context (sharing) change. Files containing data matching the Data Classifications configured for the Discovery Scan are considered to be in violation. If Umbrella detects a violation, the offending file is listed in the Data Loss Prevention Report.
This topic walks you through how to initiate a scan and how to cancel an ongoing scan.

Note: A discovery scan must be triggered around 24 hours after tenant authorization as the system evaluates and enumerates the users in the organization. Any triggering beforehand might not include all users. Umbrella performs discovery scans on files of up to 50 MB. Scans are performed archives as well as files containing embedded files; for these, DLP can extract and scan content for up to 100 files nested up to 10 levels deep.
