TRACKING SENSITIVE DATA IN A DISTRIBUTED COMPUTING ENVIRONMENT

Computing resource service providers may operate a plurality of computing resources in a distributed computing environment. In addition, the computing resource server providers may provide customers with access to applications and/or services. The applications and/or services may include sensitive data. Sensitive data in the distributed computing environment may be tracked by analyzing source code associated with the applications and/or services. Analysis of the source code may include detecting operations associated with databases and generating schemas associated with the databases based at least in part on attributes included in the source code. Sensitive data may be detected based at least in part on the schemas generated by analyzing the source code.
