Discovering Sensitive Information
DDC helps organizations identify and classify sensitive data within the data stores to ensure compliance, security, and data protection. A data store refers to a repository or location where your sensitive data is stored. This could include cloud storage, databases, local and network storages, servers, or any other storage system.
This section provides information on how to add the supported data stores on DDC and configure scans to discover and classify the data.
You can manage data stores through the Data Stores page, which is accessed by clicking the Data Stores link in the Data Discovery sidebar on the left. The list view of the Data Stores page shows the following details:
| Column | Description |
|---|---|
| Data Store Name | Name of the data store. |
| Type | Type of the data store. |
| Ready to Scan | Whether the data store is configured successfully for scanning. |
| Last Agent Check | Time when the Agent was last scanned. |
| Location | Location of the data store. |
| Sens. Level | Sensitivity level applied to the data store. |
| Labels | The number of agent labels that the datastore has. |
| Status | Status of the data store - enabled or disabled. During a scan, DDC searches for agents in enabled data stores. Click the toggle switch to change the status. |
The status of a data store could be disabled while it waits for an Agent or if it fails to select an Agent. Disabled data stores are skipped during the scan.
Note
Any modifications in the data store will be effective from the subsequent scans.
If a data store is associated with a scan, it can't be deleted. Deassociate the data store from the scan and try deleting it again.
