Start a content scan of your data at rest
Start a content scan of your data at rest
You can initiate a content scan at any time. It can scan content at rest within your organization’s sites, covering Confluence and Jira apps. What is a content scan?
Who can do this? |
A content scan is likely to take hours to days, depending on the size of your organization’s data. You can add more scans to your queue, but only one will be processed at a time. Scans are capped to three scans every 90 days. Once you’ve reached your limit, you will need to wait until the cap timeframe has passed before the next content scan begins. If you wish to run a shorter test scan first, you can select individual Confluence or Jira sites. This still counts as one of your scans. You can see how many content scans you’ve run from Guard Detect, along with your content scan history and options to manage them.
