Learn more about Netwrix Data Classification
The solution uses advanced content analysis and customizable classification rules to identify personally identifiable information (PII), financial data, intellectual property, regulated records, and other sensitive content. Classification tags are written directly to files and metadata, enabling integration with data loss prevention solutions, access governance controls, and security monitoring tools.
Netwrix Data Classification also supports automated remediation workflows. Organizations can move sensitive files to secure locations, adjust access permissions, redact sensitive content, apply labels, and identify redundant, obsolete, and trivial (ROT) data for cleanup. By combining data discovery, effective permissions analysis, and automation, it helps reduce data exposure and strengthen compliance with regulations such as GDPR, HIPAA, and PCI DSS.
