Barracuda Data Inspector

Barracuda Data Inspector is an automated cloud data discovery, classification, and threat scanning solution designed to protect sensitive business data stored within Microsoft OneDrive and SharePoint repositories. Operating as an agentless cloud SaaS service, it scans cloud file shares to uncover data leakage risks, compliance violations, and dormant malware embedded within enterprise cloud storage.

The solution connects directly to Microsoft 365 tenants via cloud APIs to continuously inspect files for sensitive and confidential data. Key platform capabilities encompass automated scanning for personally identifiable information (PII), credit card numbers, and medical data, advanced Optical Character Recognition (OCR) to detect sensitive data inside scanned images and PDF files, heuristic detection of dormant malware and ransomware files residing in cloud shares, and automated DLP policy alerts. Security administrators can easily identify shared links that expose company data externally.

Financial services, healthcare organizations, and corporate compliance teams implement Barracuda Data Inspector to enforce data protection standards and prevent accidental data breaches. It integrates smoothly with Microsoft Entra ID and the Barracuda Cloud Control dashboard. Common enterprise use cases include identifying publicly accessible OneDrive files containing customer credentials, locating sensitive healthcare records shared across internal collaboration channels, scanning file repositories for dormant malware before migrations, and generating compliance reports for GDPR, HIPAA, and CCPA audits.
