Systems and methods are described herein for graphically representing an information management system based on the characteristics of within the system. The systems and methods interface with various components of the system (e.g., administrative components, index components, and so on) to identify data having certain characteristics (e.g., personal data), and generate or render information (e.g., a heat map or other visual display) that represents areas or locations within the system storing the data. Thus, the systems and methods, in some embodiments, generate or create a data-specific view into the information management system.
