Systems, computer program products, and methods are described herein for automated data retrieval from an integrated circuit (IC). An example system receives an alert indicating a trigger event associated with the IC; extracts, using a scan island (e.g., a partition of the IC that is isolated for data retrieval), data from a plurality of scan chains and a plurality of random-access memories (RAMs) associated with the IC in response to receiving the alert; stores the data in an external non-volatile storage media; and reboots the IC upon storing the data in the external non-volatile storage media. In this way, embodiments of the present invention offer a scalable and secure method for real-time data extraction and processing in the event of an integrated circuit malfunction, improving diagnostics while ensuring cost-effectiveness and data security.
