Original Abstract Submitted

Disclosed systems and methods identify a data record set and determine whether one or more predetermined conditions exist for triggering analysis of one or more records in the data record set. Disclosed embodiments trigger the analysis only in response to determining that the predetermined conditions have been met. Upon triggering the analysis of the data record set, disclosed embodiments identify a subset of the data record set to undergo the analysis while refraining from performing the analysis on the remaining records in the data record set. Further, embodiments identify an analysis model based on a level of analysis to be performed and apply the analysis model to the subset of the data record set to identify any presence of sensitive data. Lastly, disclosed embodiments selectively perform a security process to the data record set in response to detecting the presence of the sensitive data.
