Netwrix Data Classification
Netwrix Data Classification is a data classification solution that helps protect sensitive information.
The variety of ways that organizations create, store, and share data is overwhelming, making it increasingly difficult to determine what needs to be protected. Netwrix Data Classification enables you to accurately identify and classify sensitive and business-critical content, reducing the risk of data breaches and meeting regulatory compliance.

Main benefits
Identifying sensitive information
The software helps to identify sensitive content, such as financial data, medical records, and other PII, both on-premises and in the cloud. Automatically quarantine critical or sensitive data stored in unsecured locations or shared by large groups of users to minimize access while IT teams work to remediate the situation.
Dealing with old data
Too often, organizations are fined or fail regulatory and compliance audits because of old records that were uncovered that could have been easily deleted. With Netwrix Data Classification, you can identify and delete redundant, outdated, or irrelevant information in your IT environment, reducing the number of attacks.
Compliance with regulations and standards
Netwrix Data Classification helps you identify data regulated by GDPR, HIPAA, and PCI DSS by automatically detecting data and enforcing retention policies based on data type. It also helps you find personal information associated with an individual in minutes, not days.
Monitor sensitive data across multiple data stores
Netwrix Data Classification provides complete visibility into what data is in your organization. Whether it’s structured or unstructured data, on-premises or in the cloud.

Main features
Highly accurate data classification
IT teams can focus on protecting truly sensitive data. The unique technology of compound term processing and statistical analysis helps to achieve highly accurate results that would be difficult to achieve by relying on keywords and regular expression matching alone.
Predefined classification rules
Netwrix Data Classification has built-in rules that help you get started in minutes. They can be used to identify data protected by GDPR, PCI DSS, HIPAA, and more. Teams can also create custom rules to find additional data that is important to the organization.
DSAR search engine
Reduce the cost and effort associated with the flow of DSAR (Data Subject Access Request) requests. Compliance teams can be provided with access to a special interface where they can find all the information they need in response to the requests they receive.
Automated risk elimination
Protect sensitive data by automatically moving it to a secure area, editing permissions and accesses, and excluding sensitive data from specific documents.
Accurate data tagging
To enhance the functionality of DLP solutions, you can embed classification information directly into files. This can also help optimize data management tasks, such as saving, archiving, or migrating only certain types of data.
ROT data detection
Optimize unnecessary data storage by carefully identifying outdated or duplicate records that can be safely archived or deleted. This entire process can be automated with Netwrix Data Classification.
Accurate data search
Quickly and easily find the data you need for litigation or internal investigations without downtime or creating new rules.
Configurable classification
Companies can create customized classifications for even better results. Create and modify classification criteria in a user-friendly interface with ML-based suggestions.
Improved data security
Integration of Netwrix Data Classification with Netwrix Auditor will provide enhanced data control capabilities. This will allow you to see who has access to sensitive data, how they use this access, and receive alerts about suspicious activity around sensitive data.
