After data discovery, the next step is to set up fully
automated data classification and reporting of
sensitive data.
Track the use (and misuse) of sensitive data across all of your
data stores with Data Classification
Data classification tools let users categorise documents as they are created
and provides a fully automated classification system.
By classifying data you can implement policies to ensure the correct use of sensitive information
across all your company’s trusted data repositories whether on-premise or in the cloud.
Classify
Data classification is a key requirement for data privacy and regulatory compliance (GDPR, HIPAA, PCI for example) and for mitigating data security threats from outside and inside your organisation. However, categorising large amounts of sensitive data and confidential information, such as IP, across different applications and data silos is a major challenge. Plus, you cannot always rely on manual classification which is open to incorrect categorisation by data users through human error or lack of awareness.
Once you have identified the sensitive data you have across your business using Data Discovery it is an easy task to classify data so that you can keep track of its use automatically, set up security policies and identify data security breaches.
Data classification tools provide a complete framework for you to classify your data.
To help classify your data and build the security policies and
reporting you need for regulatory compliance and DSAR
requests, DLP provides:
Do you need initial data analysis for a discovery project, without the need for classification and control?

Discovery
Before classifying your data, discover the data you have on endpoints, in databases, on-premise and in the cloud.
Data
Control
Once you have discovered and classified data across your business you can track data use automatically to prevent data loss.
