Data Classification

Data classification is the process of organizing and categorizing data based on its level of sensitivity, importance, and confidentiality. This helps organizations manage their data more effectively by ensuring that sensitive information is protected and accessed only by authorized personnel. Data classification typically involves assigning labels or tags to data based on predetermined criteria, such as the type of data, the level of sensitivity, and the potential impact of unauthorized access or disclosure.

Why is Data Classification Important? 

  • Efficient GenAI Usage
    Data classification is essential for safely leveraging generative AI by identifying which data can be shared and processed without compromising sensitive information. It ensures that only appropriate, authorized data is used in AI models, reducing the risk of data leakage or regulatory violations while maximizing AI efficiency.
  • Enhanced Security
    Identify sensitive data to apply appropriate level of security to protect against data breaches and cyber-attacks. By focusing security efforts on critical data, organizations can better prevent unauthorized access and potential damage.
  • Regulatory Compliance
    Ensure adherence to data privacy laws such as GDPR, CCPA, PDPA, and PDP Law. Accurate data classification helps organizations identify and segregate regulated data, enabling easier application of required safeguards and meeting specific legal requirements.
  • Cost Efficiency
    Avoid overprotecting low-risk or trivial data while focusing resources on critical information assets. Optimize data storage and management strategies by identifying which data is most valuable and should be prioritized for backup, retention, and archival purposes.
  • Streamlined Operations
    Enable better access control and data management practices. Proper data classification reduces redundant and obsolete data, improving efficiency and enabling faster data retrieval.

Fasoo Data Radar is Here to Help!

Fasoo Data Radar (FDR) is an advanced Data Security Posture Management (DSPM) solution designed to simplify the complexities of data discovery, classification, and protection.

 

  • Automated Data Discovery and Classification

Fasoo Data Radar (FDR) discovers sensitive data in databases and files across various environments, including file servers, cloud storage, and endpoint devices. Upon identifying each data, FDR inserts a tag, quarantines, encrypts, or deletes unwanted or obsolete files based on the predefined security policies without requiring extensive manual intervention.

 

  • Real-Time Insights from a Centralized Console

FDR dashboard provides a full data visibility into file usage, including data location, file types, and access history. The visualized insights help organizations reduce shadow IT risks and make informed decisions for enhanced data governance while ensuring compliance with data protection regulations.

 

  • Automated Protection for Sensitive Data

FDR enforces robust security measures, including encryption, access control, and automated tagging. FDR ensures sensitive files are safeguarded throughout their lifecycle, adapting protections to match evolving threats and compliance demands.
