Will Classify360 Keep a Copy of My Sensitive Data?

The cloud platform for Classify360 does not make, store, or copy entire files from their original sources. Only indexes that make files searchable are kept in a compressed and illegible form. Analyses and resulting classifications reference data in their original locations. This approach eliminates the burden, cost, and risk of managing additional data and yields a very efficient store of searchable content for a responsive user experience.
