What is Cloud Transformation? The Complete Guide
Discover what cloud transformation means, its benefits, and how CWSI helps businesses modernise IT systems and drive innovation through cloud solutions.
Data Classification Readiness Assessment.
Data compliance management is a complex process. With only approximately 6% of organisations being Microsoft E5 ready and in a position to implement information security and compliance successfully, this is even more crucial. CWSI has developed a Data Classification Readiness Assessment to help organisations define the problem and develop a roadmap to implement a data classification program using Microsoft Purview.
What is Data Classification?
Data classification is the systematic categorisation of data based on its sensitivity, value, and the level of protection required. It helps organisations manage and secure their data effectively.
Data Challenges
- Organisations’ data must be mapped to understand where the sensitive and critical data resides and who it could be exposed to.
- Sensitive data that is not classified and labelled makes it difficult to manage and mitigate any potential risks associated with the data.
- Data Classification requirements need to be clearly defined to meet the needs of the business and be relevant to real risks.
- Organisations struggle to implement Data Classification and DLP programs, primarily because of lack of visibility into data landscape and having defined business requirements.
CWSI’s data classification insight tool autonomously maps your M365 information-in-motion.
By categorising your assets into over 300 out-of-the-box information categories, our tool will give you a comprehensive view of your data landscape, enabling us to identify what your data is, where it is, and even how it is being processed. Understanding your data structure is the key first step to developing a Data Classification program.
Visibility of your Sensitive Information
Visibility is the building block of information security. It determines how effective every other activity can be. CWSI can provide better information visibility to your organisation’s data.
CWSI’s Data Classification Readiness Assessment uses our state-of-the-art discovery tool, in conjunction with our tried and tested requirements gathering workshop methodology, to provide customers with all the basic building blocks to start implementing a structured Data Classification program.
What Role Does Automated Classification Play in Data Security?
Automated classification tools use predefined rules and algorithms to analyse and categorize data based on specific criteria. This speeds up the classification process, reduces human error, and ensures consistency across large datasets.
