Provenance remains connected
Medium, system, owner, location, authority and transfer receive a source ID.
BronVast Scan & Intake
Know what exists first. Then decide what should happen to it.
Fileshares, mailboxes, exports and legacy media are registered as sources and, where appropriate, examined read-only. This creates a reliable view of volume, structure, integrity, risk and context before migration.

Never count extensions alone
Signatures, PUIDs, versions, encryption, damage and dependencies become visible.
An executable route
The scan translates stock into work packages, exceptions, priorities and an evidence-based estimate.

Example: digital legacy
Fileshares, mailboxes and loose media in one source register
An organisation has external drives, USB media, old exports and mailbox files without a complete view. Intake links every source to owner, provenance, authority, volume, checksum and next action.
What the baseline examines
The scan looks beyond terabytes. Distribution, complexity and exceptions determine the real processing challenge.
- file and folder volumes, depth and naming patterns
- duplicates and near-duplicates
- encrypted, empty, truncated or damaged objects
- legacy formats and external dependencies
- privacy, rights and possible retention categories
What intake delivers
Every source receives a traceable position in the next process.
- source register and chain-of-custody data
- intake and checksum manifest
- format and risk profile
- exception list and quarantine route
- work packages, priorities and decision points
What the organisation retains
Facts before assumptions
A readable overview for governance, records management and IT.
Object-level accountability
Machine-readable inventory with identifiers, properties and checksums.
From stock to work package
Clear phasing for processing, migration, transfer or further investigation.
From scan to delivery
Exceptions become concrete work packages
Unknown formats, encrypted files, duplicates and damage do not disappear into a report. They receive a controlled route for investigation, quarantine, recovery, migration or transfer.
Local by design
Source analysis can remain inside the data boundary
The scan can run on site, in a segregated processing environment or on controlled copies. Only agreed reports and manifests leave the source zone.

Technical reference points
We align the route with recognised standards and specifications where they fit the source, destination and customer responsibility. This is never presented as automatic certification.
Questions about this route
Are source files changed during the scan?
Not silently. Where technically possible and appropriate, intake is read-only or uses an accountable copy. Every necessary action is recorded.
Can 2dA investigate damaged or unknown media?
Yes, but unusual, encrypted or physically damaged media first receive a specialist feasibility assessment.
Does the scan immediately produce a fixed price?
No, but it does produce the evidence required to estimate volumes, complexity, exceptions and desired outcomes more realistically.
Next step
Choose the right starting point
Start with one source, one process or a read-only assessment. We will define what should remain local, what evidence is required and which route creates value first.
