System and methods for scanning and profiling data for security compliance

A centralized computing system comprising:

• one or more processors;
• and
• memory storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the centralized computing system to:
• store, for a first user of a plurality of users, a first security policy and a second security policy, wherein the first security policy and the second security policy are configured to identify sensitive data, and wherein the first security policy, when implemented to process data, is less computationally intensive than the second security policy;
• cause instantiation, at a client device associated by the first user, of execution of an application configured to implement the first security policy;
• receive, from the application executing on the client device, first processing results corresponding to processing first data, stored by a data storage component, in accordance with the first security policy;
• identify, based on the first processing results, second processing results by:
• retrieving, from the data storage component, the first data;
• and
• processing the first data in accordance with the second security policy, wherein the second processing results indicate at least a portion of the first data that comprises first sensitive information;
• and
• cause, based on the second processing results, tokenization of the at least the portion of the first data that comprises the first sensitive information.

One or more non-transitory computer-readable media storing instructions that, when executed by one or more processors of a centralized computing system, cause the centralized computing system to:

• store, for a first user of a plurality of users, a first security policy and a second security policy, wherein the first security policy and the second security policy are configured to identify sensitive data, and wherein the first security policy, when implemented to process data, is less computationally intensive than the second security policy;
• cause instantiation, at a client device associated by the first user, of execution of an application configured to implement the first security policy;
• receive, from the application executing on the client device, first processing results corresponding to processing first data, stored by a data storage component, in accordance with the first security policy;
• identify, based on the first processing results, second processing results by:
• retrieving, from the data storage component, the first data;
• and
• processing the first data in accordance with the second security policy, wherein the second processing results indicate at least a portion of the first data that comprises first sensitive information;
• and
• cause, based on the second processing results, tokenization of the at least the portion of the first data that comprises the first sensitive information.
