Securys expands its ecosystem with the acquisition of Workscope, the automated data discovery and governance solution.
Failing to identify and control unstructured data is one of the most frequent causes of data breaches globally. All too frequently, personal information lives hidden in unstructured files across personal OneDrives, local storage and shadow IT systems, making manual audits virtually impossible at scale.
Automated data discovery enables organisations to identify, analyse, catalogue and classify business-critical and sensitive data. It is an essential requirement for organisations, enabling them to reduce unnecessary breach risk, meet compliance requirements and govern their data with greater transparency.

Workscope is a data discovery and data governance solution that helps organisations manage their data assets responsibly and rapidly.
When deployed, Workscope provides a comprehensive view of unstructured data processes (i.e. the data that is sitting outside of the approved systems) that is more precise and insightful, faster and cheaper than manual audit or traditional point-in-time passive scanning. It delivers insights that accelerate risk mitigation, subject access rights response, and boost continuous governance.
Speak to our team"Workscope delivers a rapid and modern way to monitor and transform business processes, based entirely on data and intelligence."
Unlike discovery tools that simply locate data, Workscope answers the critical questions: who is using the data, what it's being used for, where it is saved and why.
This enables organisations to build complete Records of Processing Activity (RoPAs), maintain accurate data catalogues, and differentiate between live data requiring governance and inert data that can be deleted or kept in cold storage.
By automating discovery and classification in real time, Workscope transforms costly, time-consuming compliance into easily enforceable practice thereby strengthening data governance.

Workscope deploys autonomous agents which deliver a 360-degree view over processes utilising end-user developed applications.
The software includes advanced AI analytics features that generate insights into manual processes, data risks, usage, quality, and data lineage helping businesses understand their data landscape and make informed decisions.
Discover moreWorkscope puts data governance on autopilot. It continuously scans files and data to detect risk, classify data, and alert the right people at the right time.
Compliance teams gain a live, X-ray view of their unstructured data, automating reviews, reducing non-compliance, and ensuring ongoing governance without manual effort.
Speak to our team"Once deployed, it can pinpoint precisely any personal, health or other sensitive information within your data estate."
With Workscope, you can rapidly discover, analyse, classify, inventory, and map end-user-developed applications no matter where they reside and in real-time.

In the modern enterprise, the most dangerous data isn't the type you can see in a neatly organised SQL database or a structured CRM. The true "black swan" for privacy and compliance lies
Here are some answers to questions we are regularly posed by companies looking to discover more about Workscope and how it works.
Workscope uses Agentic AI to discover unstructured data and can be deployed in several ways. When deployed directly to end users, AI Agents work silently in the background, identifying and capturing personal and sensitive data embedded within files in real time as users work.
When deployed on demand via a server or virtual machine, the AI Agents scan specific network locations defined by administrators.
Both deployment approaches enable organisations to surface data that exists outside structured systems —across servers, desktops, OneDrive, local directories, and email attachments and without requiring any manual intervention from end users.
Workscope can scan for a broad range of file types, including Excel (.xlsx, .xls, .xlsm, .csv, .xml and others), Microsoft Access, PDFs, Power BI files, Alteryx workflows, Python scripts, R files, Notepad files, and more.
It builds an inventory regardless of where files are accessed or stored. This includes network servers, local desktops, OneDrive, and shared drives. Scans can be configured to target specific folders and locations, and folder exclusions can be defined centrally to prevent scanning of restricted areas.
Yes. Workscope maps end-to-end data connections across spreadsheets, systems, third-party vendors, embedded code queries, and databases. This data lineage capability helps organisations understand how files and connected, and how data flows between files and systems, providing greater visibility, traceability, and governance over data us.
Workscope supports both one-time scanning and continuous real-time monitoring, and the two approaches can also be used together.
The platform offers two deployment modes:
These modes can operate independently or together, providing organisations with “always-on” observability to proactively manage governance, risk, compliance, and transformation initiatives, rather than relying solely on periodic point-in-time assessments.
Yes. Every aspect of a Workscope deployment can be tailored. Administrators can select what data to search, define folder exclusions, set recursive scan depth, configure governance policies with bespoke risk scoring thresholds, and create custom questionnaires for end-user attestation. The no-code tool builder allows non-technical users to design automated governance processes aligned with internal policies and target specific risks or organisational areas.
Workscope is designed to discover and analyse unstructured data wherever it exists across the organisation. The platform can scan locations outside core business systems, including:
Workscope can be configured to target specific locations, operate across the wider enterprise, or exclude sensitive environments to align with internal compliance and security requirements.
Workscope can analyse virtually any file type as part of the discovery process, including spreadsheets, documents, presentations, PDFs, archives, and other common business file formats.
The platform provides advanced diagnostics for Excel and spreadsheet files, helping organisations understand how sensitive information is stored, used, duplicated, and shared across the business.
For text-based documents, Workscope uses AI-driven analysis to identify, classify, and categorise personal and sensitive data within files, including contact details, financial information, identification numbers, health-related data, and other regulated data categories.
