Data Classification Engine
The Data Classification Engine discovers sensitive content, shows where it's exposed, and helps lock it down (and keep it that way) without disrupting business.

Classify sensitive data on-premises and in the cloud
Turn on the lights and see what's hidden inside your files. Varonis automatically scans and classifies sensitive and regulated information stored on file shares, NAS devices, SharePoint, and Office 365.
The Data Classification Engine provides context around sensitive data, so you can easily identify and block overexposed data, stale data, and fix security vulnerabilities. Create rules that combine content sensitivity with risk exposure, usage, and file system metadata, so nothing is lost.
A vast library of pre-built rules and patterns
Varonis contains a pre-built library of nearly 50 built-in rules and over 400 standards for all common laws and standards (HIPAA, SOX, PCI, GDPR). Varonis has over 340 GDPR standards alone, covering all EU nations.
Personal information: credit card numbers, passport numbers, driver's license numbers, social security numbers, IBAN and more
Financial records
Security file types (.cer, crt, p7b)
Regulated data (GDPR, HIPAA, PHI, PCI, Sarbanes Oxley, GLBA)
Finding sensitive data is just the beginning
Add context to your rating
Varonis tells you who can access sensitive data, who owns it, and who is using it – helping to ensure the right level of access and demonstrate to auditors that you are compliant with regulations.
Comply with access requests
A full-text index and a search for sensitive content help you comply with requirements such as public access requests, GDPR right to be forgotten, and subject access requests (SARs).
Advanced classification criteria
Rules contain a complex set of conditions that identify sensitive patterns using regular expressions, text proximity, and algorithms that validate the accuracy of the data. Easily apply custom tags, flags, and notes to datasets that are accessible in the UI, reports, and through our API.
Automate remediation
After classifying your critical data, the Data Classification Engine helps remediate security vulnerabilities such as inconsistent ACLs and overexposed access to sensitive data. With Automation Engine, organizations have patched petabytes of overexposed sensitive information in weeks, not years.
Actionable data security
Automatically move data according to business policy, quarantine sensitive or regulated data that is overexposed, and archive or delete stale data that is no longer in use.
Updated standards and rules
We're continually adding standards (including GDPR standards), RegExes, positive keywords, negative keywords, and more. Get an out-of-the-box rating policy with regular updates.
Protect your critical data with advanced security analytics
Warn of suspicious and abnormal activity on your sensitive data and gain risk assessment insights with deep data context so you know when something isn't right.
How it works
Truly incremental scanning
The Data Classification Engine leverages its file activity audit trail to incrementally check new and modified data without starting from scratch each time, providing a scalable solution that works quickly and efficiently.
Prioritize your riskiest data
Varonis prioritizes scans based on permissions exposure, activity frequency, and other parameters that you can adjust to your requirements. This ensures that you discover your biggest security risks first, not last.
Distributed and multi-threaded
The scan is performed by distributed multithreaded collectors so that the scan can be performed in the vicinity of the monitored network.
Robust file type support
Scan more than 60 out-of-the-box file types with Oracle Outside-In technology, including documents, spreadsheets, and more.
