Lepide Data Classification

What Lepide Data Classification is

Lepide Data Classification scans files to find and classify sensitive unstructured data, including PII, PHI, PCI, and intellectual property. Hundreds of predefined criteria sets help locate information and map it to compliance mandates. The product scans file types such as Word documents, text documents, and Excel spreadsheets across sources including Windows File Server, NetApp Filer, Exchange, SharePoint, OneDrive, Dropbox, Linux, Unix, NAS, and cloud storage. After an initial discovery scan, classification can continue as data is created or modified; Lepide also describes identifying sensitive information at creation for persistent classification. Users can score data by content risk to focus behavior analytics and permissions strategies on higher-risk material. Classification adds visibility into access and user activity, and classified data can be used with predefined threat models to detect threats and automate responses. Proximity scanning adds context to detected patterns to help separate sensitive data from false positives. Lepide Identify can schedule searches for PII on Windows File Servers to support DSAR, right-to-be-forgotten, and eDiscovery requests. It requires a Windows system for its DDC Agent and an accessible Microsoft SQL Server database.
