Before You Publish Your Dataroom - Make Sure It's Secure!
Often times the moments you need a dataroom are accompanied with significant urgency. Under this pressure, it is common to prioritize speed and quickly assemble the dataroom using material at hand, sometimes at the expense of thoroughness. Notion is particularly well-suited for these moments—you can rapidly build a dataroom by copying and pasting your existing pages and blocks, which is exactly why Notion Rooms was created.
However, this speed to act can and often does introduce risks. More often than you might expect, the pages and blocks you copy contain sensitive information that shouldn’t be shared. By quickly duplicating content, you may inadvertently expose confidential data, such as:
- Passwords
- API Keys
- Usernames
- Email and physical addresses
- Other secrets
Notion Scanner
Hence the team that create Notion Rooms, has also created Notion Scanner: Fully AI-powered privacy and secrets scanner built for Notion pages. It securely integrates with your Notion workspaces, scans your pages, and uses AI to detect any potentially sensitive information including passwords, API keys, usernames, and other potentially delicate details in all of your Notion blocks.
It is a perfect sidekick for when your are building your dataroom: just connect your Notion, scan your workspace, and sleep your nights well knowing that you have not accidentally exposed any sensitive information with your potential investors, buyers, or other stakeholders.
AI-powered
The tools should be modern, and Notion Scanner is indeed fully AI powered meaning that it finds the secrets not based on rules, but rather a large-language model (LLM) that reads all of your Notion blocks to understand whether vulnerable information might be exposed. This is much more robust than logic- and rules-based scanning.
Automated, continuous scanning
The scanner is further built to continuously scan your pages in the background. Notion's strength is that it is a collaborative platform, meaning that many people can quickly and easily work on the same content. But this also means pages may and will change and often introducing a chance that someone accidentally exposes information that shouldn't be shared. Those vulnerabilities should be surfaced as quickly for possible for which Notion Scanner is optimal.
Notion native :)
As always, we've made this to be fully secure and easy to use in the sense that it connects directly to your Notion workspace using the OAuth from native Notion integration with zero tinkering needed. In other words, it's up an running in <15 seconds and then eating all the Notion blocks and databases that you may have on your Notion workspace (but not files, embeds, or other external data), outputting all potentially sensitive information and data that you should probably have a look at. Oh, and it's pretty much free to get started and try out.
