Amazon Macie

Amazon Macie is an AWS security service built to automatically discover and protect sensitive data across your cloud environment. It scans large datasets to identify personally identifiable information or other confidential content, helping teams understand exactly where their critical data resides within storage buckets.

This tool suits organizations managing vast amounts of unstructured data who need automated classification rather than manual tagging. The primary trade-off is that while a free trial exists, ongoing usage beyond that initial period incurs standard AWS charges, so long-term budgeting requires careful planning for continuous scanning costs.
