OT: workstation security assurance

We are in the process of developing security policies and procedures. During this process we have identified certain types of data that we have classified as sensitive, that cannot (by policy and law) be stored on non-secured workstations. We are certain that some workstations have "sensitive data" stored on them, due to a previous lack of policy preventing it. We have no idea where this data is, or in what format it is stored. We are certain that very few of the 5000 or so PCs are secured to the degree that this type of data requires. We are looking for a tool that can be used to scan all of the workstations for the types of data elements we have determined are sensitive, and report the findings. We can then move to either secure the workstation, and/or remove the offending data elements. Examples of the types of data we would be looking for are SSN, GPA, and other data types as defined by HIPPA and FERPA. Does such a tool exist, and where can I get it?? If you know the correct place to pose this question, please enlighten me. -- Mike Taylor Coordinator of Systems Administration and Network Security Indiana State University.
