The type of scan you configure determines the amount of information retrieved in a scan, the actions taken during the scan, and the configuration needed for the scan.
Inventory scans retrieve metadata only, providing a base for configuring classification and remediation scans.
Classification scans retrieve metadata, analyze files, and match policy classifications that you define.
Remediation scans include classification scan analysis and can enforce rules on files.
Note
For database scans, remediation scans can only report an incident and store evidence.
Registration scans fingerprint the content in sensitive files and store the fingerprints as registered documents on the DLP Server.
The policy components you must configure depend on the scan type.
Scan type | Definitions | Classifications | Rules | Fingerprint criteria |
|---|---|---|---|---|
Inventory | X | |||
Classification | X | X | ||
Remediation | X | X | X | |
Registration | X | X |
Scan results are displayed on the Data Analytics tab. The Data Inventory tab displays the inventory of files from scans that have the File List option enabled.
