based on data classification
Combine Data Discovery with Masking & Encryption, user Attributes, and Data Access Control policies to consistently protect sensitive data across your data estate.
Identify Sensitive Data
Privacera automatically scans data in 20+ cloud data sources across all 3 major cloud providers, using a wide-range of out of the box Machine Learning techniques and look up tables to find sensitive data, as well as allow organizations to define their own. In addition, Privacera provides a quality score and allows manual review and adjustments.
Classify and Tag Sensitive Data
Automatically apply data tags or classifications to sensitive data to identify data attributes and classification levels, which can be used to visualize what sensitive data you have and where it is located. Classifications and tags can be used to automatically protect sensitive data.
Integrate 3rd Party Classifications and Tags
Privacera’s open API allows tags and classifications to be integrated from 3rd parties, like Collibra, Alation, or BigID, so that data can be protected at the source via data masking or encryption. Third party tags and classifications can also be integrated with data access policies to allow access to be controlled based of data attributes.
