Classification Settings

The Classification module helps you organize and control your data assets by applying rules and categories. It includes the following components:

Law & Standards lets you manage rule sets for data discovery and classification.
Classifications allow you to categorize organizational content to maintain control of data assets.
Rules enable you to create scanning rules by Date Range, Number Range, Regex, or List.
Lists let you add alias lists manually or import them from a CSV file for greater accuracy.
