Introduction

While Ground Labs' sensitive data discovery solution, Enterprise Recon, comes with over 300 built-in data types, there may be times when these predefined data types do not meet your organization's special requirements.

For example, you need to search for a range of inactive membership numbers, or a subject access request (SAR) requires you to identify all locations across your organization's data storage platforms that contain information pertaining to a specific individual.

In such instances, you can use GLASS Studio - a user-friendly, visual programming interface - to develop GLASS custom data types that can be easily integrated with Enterprise Recon.

GLASS Studio is offered for free to users with an Enterprise Recon PII PII or Enterprise Recon PRO PRO license.

See Enterprise Recon - Add a Custom Data Type for more information.

What is GLASS Studio?

GLASS Studio is a standalone platform with a moderate learning curve that integrates the rich features of the GLASS language within a user-friendly interface.

The intuitive Visual Builder makes it simple for you to create new GLASS data types, with or without any programming language experience.

If you prefer the coding approach, you also have the option of using the built-in Code Editor to develop your data types.

Who Should Use GLASS Studio?

Whether you are an IT manager, sales engineer, internal auditor, software developer, or a curious data owner, give GLASS Studio a try and start building your own custom data types.

What is GLASS?

Ground Labs Accurate Search Syntax (GLASS) is a programming language developed by Ground Labs. It is used internally by the GLASS scanning engine to perform accurate and high-speed detection of sensitive data in Enterprise Recon.

GLASS is highly efficient and human-readable, making it easy for new users to grasp the syntax that define the GLASS language.
