Data Governance
File Classification & Tagging
Modern enterprises face an unprecedented data management challenge. Sensitive information is scattered across file servers, cloud storage, collaboration platforms, and employee devices-and 80% of enterprise data is unstructured, hiding in documents, spreadsheets, PDFs, and images. Traditional DLP solutions that simply label files as “sensitive” or “confidential” cannot provide the granularity needed for precise policy enforcement. And relying on users to classify their own documents leads to inconsistent, incomplete, and often incorrect labeling.
File Classification and Tagging solves this challenge with enterprise-grade data discovery that automatically identifies sensitive information across your entire data landscape. When a file contains sensitive data, you’ll know exactly what types are present-national identification numbers, email addresses, financial records, healthcare information, and hundreds of other data elements. Real-time watchdog agents detect new and modified files as they appear, while cloud connectors monitor SharePoint, OneDrive, S3, and Azure storage. The result is granular, element-level classification that enables precise policy enforcement, accurate compliance reporting, and true visibility into where your sensitive data lives.
