Data Classification
Data classification software automates tasks classifying and analyzing information, typically in an integrated data security platform.
The classification process tags data based on various criteria to make it searchable and trackable, assists with deduplication, simplifies data retrieval and supports efficient regulatory compliance.
Why Data Classification?
Data classification tools help you identify the context as well as content of data and critically extends classification beyond the security domain to ensure you a holistic view of data.
You can scan and analyze your data at creation, in motion and at rest – and apply appropriate identification attributes.
Sensitive data is important to identify, to ensure the right people have access to the right data. However, sensitivity is just one dimension of data classification. In order to get the full potential from data classification and value from your data, you need to combine categorisation with security labelling.
