Once you have filtered the results to include only those which you believe contain sensitive data, call the users to notify them. You can give them the file locations so that they can view the files and choose to keep or delete them. Users are not required to remove the information from their computers. It is suggested that Information Stewards call or speak in person with users rather than emailing them so that there is no record of the files which contain the sensitive information.

Remembering to run scans every month or quarter might be difficult. There is an option in Identity Finder to export results to a CSV file on a regular schedule. Though this will not give you access to the full functionality of the console, it is a convenient option. Receiving the export could also serve as a reminder to log into the console to review the results. To export a scan, first go to the Results tab and click Export. Image Removed Image Added

Then enter the output name, email address, and subject for the email. Choose CSV as the output format. This will allow you to open the files in MS Word, Excel, or other text editors. After the form is complete, click on "Schedule"

Image RemovedImage Added

This will allow you to set a particular day and time that you would like to run the scans. Be sure to pick a day of the month or Identity Finder will scan every day. If you do not want to scan monthly, click on the ellipsis and choose the months in which you would like to scan. Information Security recommends quarterly scans, as shown here.
