Data Discovery and Data Classification


Know what sensitive data you have, where it is, and how it’s used and take appropriate measures to keep it safe and secure.

You can't protect what you can't find

Sensitive data multiplies — copies in email, local drives, shared folders, and dozens of cloud apps. Most teams have no reliable map of where regulated data actually lives.

Blind spots mean unquantified risk you can't report on.

Can't attest to data handling without a complete inventory.

 IT / Security Engineer

Manual discovery doesn't scale and is outdated the moment it's finished.

The fix: continuous, automated discovery and classification — the foundation everything else (DLP, insider risk, compliance) builds on.

Discover and Secure Sensitive Data

 

Data at rest

Safetica can search for sensitive files in selected folders on endpoints and in network shares.

Data in motion

Safetica can classify files directly during user operations, such as exports, uploads and downloads, opening files, copying files to a different path, uploading files via web browsers, sending files via email or IM apps, and others.

Streamline Your Data Classification with Safetica's Unified Approach


Safetica Unified Data Classification combines analyses of file content, file origin, and file properties, and ties into unified data protection policies.

For the user, this means that a single data classification can incorporate various types of rules and technologies. Powered by this unification approach, data policies can now apply to multiple data classifications and you no longer need to create a special policy for each one of them. It’s that simple!

FAQ

Data discovery & classification

What is data discovery?

Finding and identifying sensitive data — PII, PHI, financial data, IP — wherever it's stored, across endpoints and the cloud.

Why does discovery matter for data protection?

You can't protect — or prove compliance for — data you can't see. Discovery is the foundation of DLP and compliance.

Does Safetica classify data automatically?

Yes. It identifies and classifies sensitive content automatically, with options to refine by policy.

Does it cover cloud storage?

Yes — endpoints plus major cloud services from a single console.

How is this different from a one-time scan?

Safetica discovers continuously, so new and moved data stays classified and protected over time.
