Claim 16:
17. A computer-implemented method for detecting data posture of a cloud environment, the computer-implemented method comprising:
executing a cloud scanner in the cloud environment to discover one or more structured databases in the cloud environment and return metadata representing a structure of schema objects in the one or more structured databases;
for each schema object in the structure of schema objects, traversing the schema object based on the metadata to identify a plurality of data items stored in the schema object, and executing a content-based data classifier to classify data items in the plurality of data items based on a plurality of pre-defined data profiles;
generating a confidence score based on the metadata, the confidence score representing a confidence of the classification of the data items;
for a given schema object in the structure of schema objects, generating a classifier result that identifies a first data item in the given schema object as matching a first pre-defined data profile of the plurality of pre-defined data profiles, and a second data item in the given schema object as matching a second pre-defined data profile of the plurality of pre-defined data profiles;
detecting an instance of a composite data profile based on a determination that a relational distance between the first data item and the second data item is within a threshold proximity; and
generating a user interface display that includes:
a first profile display element that identifies instances of data items that match the first pre-defined data profile, a second profile display element that identifies instances of data items that match the second pre-defined data profile, and a confidence score display element that displays the confidence score.
