Using an externally hosted model to find the sensitive data in your corpus has a sequencing problem: The data has already left your environment by the time it’s classified. Identify, classify and sanitize in a controlled environment first. Then decide what external AI sees.

Your provider’s settings and contract say sensitive data won’t be used for training. Can you independently verify that? Once data leaves your environment, you’ve moved from verification to trust. Know which one your AI governance actually rests on.

Excluding content from a RAG index doesn't delete it. The AI just can't retrieve it. Before indexing, confirm each source is relevant, current, authoritative and approved for AI use, with sensitive data handled. That is data preparation. It belongs before the index.

Should you put all your enterprise data into RAG? Not necessarily. Duplicates, outdated documents, and drafts can compete with trusted information during retrieval. The goal isn’t more data. It’s getting the right data into your AI’s answers.

Here’s an Instagram-ready caption for Aparavi announcing the whitepaper: 80% of your data is unstructured. Your AI is hungry for it. Your governance? Not so much. We just dropped our new whitepaper: aparavi.com/whitepapers/rein…

Columbus AI Week was a blast. We connected with the community, ran live sessions on PII masking for complex PDFs and our MCP server, and welcomed new users. #ColumbusAIWeek #AI

Smarter Copilot starts with smarter data. From a real M365 deployment: 39TB mapped, 18.4TB ROT removed, 5 role datasets, 2× relevance, 0 exposures. Our blueprint to make Copilot trustworthy → aparavi.com/blog/2025/09/05/… #Copilot #Microsoft365 #DataGovernance #AI

Headed to #ColumbusAIWeek (Sept 9–11). Aparavi: panel + main stage + hands-on workshop. Real workflows: PII-safe data prep, multimodal pipelines (text, images, audio, long docs), and MCP-native “talk to your data.” Bring your questions and come say hi!

You can’t protect what you don’t know you have. Discovery = understanding your data, not just listing files. Aparavi’s ROV found an entire payroll folder in a public share. That’s what real data visibility does. #DataDiscovery #DataSecurity #ROV #Aparavi #AIReadiness

Text isn’t the only thing your AI needs to understand With Aparavi, we make sense of video, audio, and images too Multimodal is not the future It’s the now And we’re putting it to work #Aparavi #MultimodalAI #AIReady #SmartData #GenerativeAI
