How is Netwrix Data Classification licensed?

Netwrix Data Classification is licensed by its data sources, based on either a subscription or perpetual licensing model. Regardless of which licensing model you choose, most applications are licensed per enabled AD user.

Do you use agents to collect data?

No. Netwrix Data Classification operates in agentless mode, so it does not interfere with your data storage system. All index and classification information is collected, analyzed, stored and updated on a separate server.

How easy is the deployment and configuration process? How quickly will I start getting value?

It takes only a couple of hours to deploy Netwrix Data Classification. The time required for the initial classification depends on your data volume, connection speed, the classification mode you choose, server performance and other factors. After that, new data will be indexed incrementally, which is faster.
The solution provides a wide set of predefined taxonomies that cover PII (GDPR), PHI (HIPAA), payment card data (PCI DSS), financial records and other types of protected information, so you can quickly find sensitive and regulated data and implement required security controls.

Can Netwrix Data Classification be integrated with DLP or IRM solutions?

Yes. The data classification solution from Netwrix embeds classification information right into the file, increasing the accuracy of data loss prevention (DLP) or information rights management (IRM) tools and optimizing your data security efforts. Also, Netwrix Data Classification can apply Microsoft Information Protection (MIP) labels to documents.

How do the files get classified?

The data classification tool from Netwrix doesn’t simply match character strings and rely on keywords and regular expressions, unlike many other information classification tools. It also uses compound term processing and statistical analysis, which work in any language or vocabulary, regardless of grammatical style. The classification is performed by analyzing file content using rules defined in the taxonomies.
