SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR CONTINUOUS DATA PROFILING

The present disclosure is directed to continuous data profiling (CDP). Entities may house large amounts of disorganized and/or duplicative data. To organize and standardize data across a data set, the data may be profiled. However, profiling large data set can be inefficient and give rise to security problems, as profiling datasets typically requires exporting a dataset to a third-party profiling runtime environment. To remedy these issues, the present disclosure is directed to a continuous data profiling platform that comprises a CDP manager communicatively coupled to a client's database. The CDP manager provides access to a CDP API that may install CDP tools on a client's native database environment, enabling the database management system to profile datasets within the client's native database environment, which results in a more efficient use of computing resources and more secure process of profiling datasets.
