New data can be labelled at creation, but the hard problem is the backlog — the shares, archives and mailboxes that accumulated for years with no labels at all.
Why the backlog matters
Unlabelled legacy data is where breaches hide and where privacy requests stall. You cannot protect or report on what you have not classified, and the backlog is usually the largest unknown.
Automated classification at scale
Veriket uses OCR, document fingerprinting and content-aware AI to label existing files in place — no human opening each one. Scanned PDFs and images are read; proprietary content is matched; sensitivity is inferred.
From backlog to governed estate
Once labelled, the backlog feeds DLP and discovery like any other data. The unknown becomes governed, and your controls finally cover the whole estate rather than just new documents.
