 Before you can scan your data source, you must take these steps:
 
 1. [Register your data source](manage-data-sources.md#register-a-new-source) - This essentially gives Microsoft Purview the address of your data source, and maps it to a [collection](catalog-permissions.md#a-collections-example) in the Microsoft Purview Data Map.

Consider your network - If your source is on an on-premises network, or a virtual private network (VPN), or if your [Microsoft Purview account is using private endpoints](catalog-private-link-end-to-end.md), you'll need a self-hosted integration runtime, which is a tool that will sit on a machine in your private network so your source and Microsoft Purview can connect during the scan.
