Preparing Compliant AI-Ready Datasets with Commvault Data Rooms

This product demonstration showcases Commvault Data Rooms, a solution designed to bridge the gap between enterprise AI ambitions and data governance requirements. The demo addresses a common enterprise challenge: organizations want to leverage AI-powered knowledge assistants and RAG models, but their valuable data is scattered across legacy servers, HR documents, and archived folders—with much of it containing sensitive information that cannot be exposed to AI pipelines. The demonstration walks through a complete workflow involving two personas: a compliance officer responsible for data governance and a data scientist building AI models. The compliance officer begins by running Commvault Risk Analysis across file servers to automatically flag sensitive data such as personal identifiers and confidential financial information, while identifying low-risk content like process guides and internal FAQs that are safe for AI use. With this automated classification complete, the compliance officer creates a Data Room containing only approved, low-risk files and grants access to the data science team. The data scientist then accesses the curated dataset through Data Studio, Commvault's central workspace, where they can browse, search, and filter compliant files including internal policies, IT runbooks, and departmental handbooks—ideal content for powering a RAG model that answers employee questions. When ready, the data scientist initiates an export to a secure S3-compatible AI data lake, which triggers a compliance review. The compliance officer receives a notification, verifies the export contents, and approves the transfer. Throughout this process, every action is logged and traceable, providing end-to-end auditability from risk detection to AI ingestion. The key value proposition is enabling speed without sacrificing governance—data scientists get immediate access to pre-approved datasets while compliance teams maintain complete control over what data leaves the protected environment.
