Netwrix Data Classification
Find, label and index sensitive and regulated data in structured and unstructured stores.
"For organisations that need visibility of where sensitive and regulated data resides to support governance and compliance."
Discover and classify sensitive data across your repositories
Organisations struggle to know where sensitive and regulated data resides across mixed estates. Without reliable discovery and searchable classification, governance and compliance tasks rely on guesswork and manual effort.
Netwrix Data Classification discovers sensitive and regulated data in both structured and unstructured repositories. It applies configurable detection rules, records classifications and stores metadata so teams can report, search and build evidence about data locations and types.
The product helps reduce uncertainty about data holdings and supports more focused governance and protection work by providing a persistent, searchable classification index.
Where Netwrix Data Classification is used
Use discovery to build an inventory of sensitive and regulated data across on-premises and cloud repositories. The inventory forms the basis for governance decisions and targeted protection actions.
Produce searchable classification records and metadata to support compliance activities and internal reporting. Teams can search and report on classified items to demonstrate control and to plan remediation or data handling changes.
Fits within these solutions
Delivery & deployment
Suitable environments
Fits medium-to-large organisations and teams that need to manage sensitive or regulated data across dispersed estates. It is suited to organisations with formal security, privacy or compliance functions that require demonstrable data visibility.
It also suits environments with large volumes of unstructured or distributed data where locating and classifying sensitive content is otherwise time consuming. The product works where organisations need auditable classification records to support governance and reporting.

How we help
Armstrong can assist with implementation, configuration and ongoing product support for Netwrix Data Classification. We often support rule tuning, classification mapping and reporting setup so internal teams can operationalise the classification outputs. Armstrong may help with integration planning and knowledge transfer but does not operate customer environments or provide outsourced monitoring or incident response.
