It reads what is inside every file, classifies it, and acts on it. [Book a demo](https://www.dataxray.io/demo/) Since 2017 ## Why DataXray exists We started as Ohalo in 2017, as GDPR reshaped privacy expectations and cybersecurity threats exposed how little most organizations knew about the contents of their files. DataXray is the name we use today, and Ohalo Limited remains our legal entity. Traditional governance tools were built for structured data. Unstructured data, the documents, emails, spreadsheets, PDFs, and scanned images that hold most of an organization's knowledge, went ungoverned because nothing read it. DataXray was built for that gap. It reads the contents of every file rather than sampling metadata, classifies what it finds, and turns the classification into action. Organizations use it for defensive work, such as records and retention management, disclosure, and regulatory compliance, and for offensive work, such as document intelligence and preparing governed data for AI.

He has worked with major financial institutions, government agencies, and defense organizations to bring that data under control, making it governed and ready for AI and compliance workflows. - Alistair Jones ### Alistair Jones CTO An engineer and security expert with extensive experience testing Microsoft's tools against real-world data challenges.
