Boomi DataDetective

Boomi DataDetective (Early Access) lets you visualize the movement of Personal Identifiable Information (PII) between integration connections. A summary details the data fields, connectors, processes, and countries involved. You can view PII details using the map visualization or table view.

Boomi DataDetective data is refreshed weekly from your Integration account. It classifies data as PII by looking at field names and process step names. It does not use your processed data. Like our other AI Products, Boomi DataDetective solely uses the customer-agnostic de-identified metadata as outlined in the Data Collection. It utilizes Boomi internal SLMs to determine and classify the sensitivity of your data, including PII. If you have turned off Boomi data collection, you will not see data in Boomi DataDetective.

Use cases

With Boomi DataDetective you can:

• Explore PII data movement across countries using a global visualization
• Analyze PII data statistics by integration, data object, PII category, and more
• Manage PII data fields by suggesting the tracking of data field categorization

Visualize PII movement

You can view information about the location of PII using the map visualization. Enter fields and select filters to see specific PII information. You can click on the globe to turn it and view other continents. Pause your cursor on a connection near the country to see how many processes, data fields, connectors, and PII categories are associated with the country. Read Visualizing PII statistics for a detailed walkthrough.

Analyze PII data statistics

You can view statistics in a table to see which process and data fields contain PII. Select filters to see specific PII information. Read Analyzing PII statistics for a detailed walkthrough.

Manage PII data fields

You can suggest tracking new data fields and changes to the categories of existing data fields. Read Managing PII data fields for a detailed walkthrough.
