The Classify360 Approach: Remediate
Take action on classified data to ensure it’s properly protected, optimally stored, and most effectively serving the business.
Remediate
Classify360 then gives the opportunity to remediate that data in various ways such as protect, preserve, dispose, or move. The action engine carries out any actions instructed by the organization to perform on the classified data. Actions include copy, inject, secure, decision, and delete. Classify360 maintains a visible account of the data that would be affected by an organization’s policies in the action workflow engine.
Healthy Data Makes for Healthy Business Practices
Strengthen Data Protection
Rely on Classify360 reporting to determine which data requires a higher level of protection. Make informed decisions when addressing proprietary, frequently accessed, preserved, and regulated data.
Move or Preserve
Conserve and maintain the safety and integrity of relevant data. In instances where litigation hold is applicable, ensure data is not moved or deleted to comply with legal orders.
Defensibly Dispose
Confidently delete redundant, obsolete, trivial, or stale data that puts your business at risk. Classify360’s machine learning capabilities maintain a clear chain of custody and employ mathematical algorithms, allowing for defensible data deletion.
Data Encryption
Apply a deeper level of security via data encryption to files being stored in the cloud, rendering files unreadable to unauthorized individuals.
Tagging
Assign relevant tags to files so they can be most accurately located and analyzed in future searches, within Classify360 and in other data management and security & risk applications.
Metadata Injection
Inject metadata into existing files to supplement missing or incomplete fields, allowing for more complete and comprehensive future searches on and management of that data.
The Classify360 Action Engine
In the action engine, Classify360 carries out the actions custodians approve to carry out on their classified data. Policies hold the logic of which actions to perform, and in which order, applied to specific classifications. It carries out these instructions for class-assigned items in their Classify360 repositories. Custodians can approve and execute the following actions:
- Copy – copies items from the source to another location
- Inject – injects entries into property fields at the source
- Secure – secures the items at the source with read-only access
- Decision – allows authorized users to review the next action
- Delete – deletes items at the source
Actions are the final step in the Classify360 process, and the only step where Classify360 would modify on-prem or cloud-stored data as instructed by data custodians. Because these actions only work on the items classified by analysis trees, Classify360 maintains a visible account and full audit trail of the data that would be affected by an organization’s policies in the action workflow engine.
