Data harvester

Abstract:

A data harvester enhances compliance audits by characterizing data sources, sampling data in one or more of the data sources to determine likelihood of success of the data harvest, estimating time for the data harvest, making recommendations from the samples based on machine learning relating to previous runs, then sampling additional data while estimated expected completion time. The harvested data may then be analyzed and compared to compliance requirements, and a compliance report may be generated.
