Netwrix Data Classification: 민감 데이터 발견, 분류, 보호

Data classification solutions help organizations identify, classify, and protect sensitive and business-critical information by assigning labels based on data type and sensitivity. Organizations save time and costs by automating the data discovery and classification process across IT environments (including structured or unstructured, on-premises or in the cloud).

The four most common types of data classification include:

• Public – Information that can be shared freely without risk, such as your organization’s contact details or cookie policy.
• Internal – Information meant to be used internally but has low sensitivity, like business processes or general operational documentation.
• Confidential – Information requiring more protection, such as vendor contracts, competitor analysis, or employee performance reviews.
• Restricted/Highly Confidential – Highly sensitive data that could cause serious financial, operational, or legal harm if exposed, such as intellectual property, custom applications, or healthcare records.

Netwrix Data Classification is licensed on a subscription basis, per employee, and determined by the number of data sources classified.

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.

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.

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.

Netwrix Data Classification doesn’t just 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.
