If you only want to profile a single data resource, you can do so by creating a project-level scan configuration.

<br />

## Supported resources

The following resource types are supported:

- BigQuery table
- Cloud SQL table
- Cloud Storage bucket
- Vertex AI dataset
- Vertex AI tuning job
- Amazon S3 bucket
- Azure Blob Storage container

## Differences between profiling a single data resource and standard profiling

Single-resource profiling differs from standard profiling in the following ways:

- Single-resource profiling is available only in project view.
- A single-resource discovery configuration lets you profile only one data resource. You can't add schedules to the configuration, but you can edit the catch-all schedule. You can't add filters to the schedule.
- You can create many single-resource discovery configurations for different data resources in a project. For each data resource, you can have only one single-resource discovery configuration.

## Create a single-resource discovery configuration

To create a single-resource discovery configuration, see the instructions for
the data that you want to profile:

- [Profile BigQuery data in a single
  project](https://docs.cloud.google.com/sensitive-data-protection/docs/profile-project)
- [Profile Cloud SQL data in a single
  project](https://docs.cloud.google.com/sensitive-data-protection/docs/profile-project-cloud-sql)
- [Profile Cloud Storage data in a single
  project](https://docs.cloud.google.com/sensitive-data-protection/docs/profile-project-cloud-storage)
- [Profile Vertex AI data in a single
  project](https://docs.cloud.google.com/sensitive-data-protection/docs/profile-project-vertex-ai)
- [Discovery for Amazon S3
  data](https://docs.cloud.google.com/sensitive-data-protection/docs/profile-amazon-s3)

When you're prompted to select the scope of the scan, select the single-resource
option, and then enter the details of the resource.

## Profile regeneration


Sensitive Data Protection reprofiles data as described in [Frequency of data profile
generation](https://docs.cloud.google.com/sensitive-data-protection/docs/data-profiles#scan-frequency). You can customize the profiling frequency in your scan configuration by [creating a schedule](https://docs.cloud.google.com/sensitive-data-protection/docs/profile-org-folder#manage-schedules).
To force the discovery service to reprofile your data, see [Force a reprofile
operation](https://docs.cloud.google.com/sensitive-data-protection/docs/manage-data-profiles#force-reprofile).
