Mapped control outcomes

1 personal data inventory/data map; 2 sensitive-data discovery; 3 downstream copy tracking; 8 breach blast-radius analysis; 9 retention/minimization; 10 regulator audit evidence

Kestryl can evidence where regulated personal data actually resides across structured stores and unstructured attachments/images, produce audit rows and evidence packs showing when each location was discovered and reviewed, and apply structured-data remediation modes (mask, vault, strip) to reduce exposure. It does not alter source attachments or documents, and its output is technical evidence supporting controls, not proof of legal compliance.
