Sensitive data discovery
Finds PII, PHI, and payment data across files and repositories.
Discover, classify, and remediate sensitive and stale data across file servers, SharePoint, and cloud repositories.
Netwrix Data Classification finds and classifies sensitive and regulated data across file servers, SharePoint, databases, email, and cloud repositories. It uses predefined and custom taxonomies with compound term processing, flags redundant, obsolete, and trivial data, scores risk by sensitivity and exposure, and can move files, remove excess permissions, or redact content. It also produces GDPR, HIPAA, and PCI DSS reports. IT administrators, security teams, and compliance officers use it to reduce data exposure.
Swagata G.
Data Engineer
“Liked fast scanning of large file shares, clear reporting, and help finding stale files to clean up. Found occasional false positives with certain date formats.”
Phil Y.
IT Manager
“Liked the friendly, knowledgeable support team and reliable reports on sensitive data. Found the analysis search tab needs more filters to narrow results.”
Arpit K.
Project Engineer
“Liked automatic finding and tagging of obsolete data in cloud repositories. Found troubleshooting skipped or misclassified files technical and taxonomy rules rigid.”
Anuj S.
System Engineer
“Liked the discovery and context tagging, supportive team, and good value. Found diagnosing misclassified files requires digging through logs and workflows.”
Collen H.
Stores Controller
“Liked thorough classification across sources and responsive support. Found a steep learning curve, complex setup, high pricing for basic needs, and navigation that could be simpler.”
Piyush B.
Founder and CEO
“Liked mapping sensitive data and permissions, reclaiming disk space, and locating PHI. Found rule setup time-consuming and troubleshooting technical, needing experienced staff.”
Harsh G.
Cyber Security Engineer
“Liked the centralized monitoring and logging of data access across the environment. Found a learning curve and rising costs when adding advanced features.”
Shivam A.
Junior Data Analyst
“Liked automatic finding and labeling of sensitive files and a clear view of exposure. Found the initial setup and scan slow, the interface technical, and tuning necessary.”
AMIT D.
Data Engineer
“Liked the help with compliance, reclaimed storage, and flagging of sensitive folders. Found occasional false positives caused by date formats.”
Isla W.
IT Compliance Officer
“Liked solid auto-classification and an intuitive interface. Found exact reports hard to extract and integration with security software less smooth.”
Akriti C.
Technical Specialist
“Liked strong features at a reasonable cost, ease of use, and helpful support. Found built-in search slow on large datasets.”
Mohit A.
Consultant
“Liked the classification power, modern interface, good value, and responsive support. Found slow policy setup, limited reporting options, and slowdowns on large datasets.”
Mike S.
System Engineer
“Liked recovering drive space, flagging folders with patient information, and working alongside Netwrix Auditor. Found occasional false positives from date formats.”
Ovi H.
Network System Administrator
“Liked timely change reports, simple categorization, and custom categories. Found browsing classified data unintuitive at first and changing credentials across many sources tedious.”
Bruce W.
Dir IT
“Liked how easy it is to understand, set up, and use, plus help with SOC 2 reporting. Found setup and reporting somewhat clunky to learn.”
Zeeshan A.
Network Administrator
“Liked the easy deployment, simple alert setup, and dependable day-to-day operation. Found updating credentials for many data sources slow on large networks.”
James D.
System Administrator
“Liked how well it finds sensitive data across infrastructure. Found setup pitfalls that forced re-crawls, high cost, many false positives, and limited remediation.”
Adrian P.
IT Manager
“Liked the good high-level view of data and the mix of predefined and custom categories. Found categorized data unintuitive to browse at first.”
Sean C.
Admin
“Liked the useful reports the tool produces for the environment. Found two-factor login for Azure reporting awkward and an agent install needed for remote workstations.”
Ben S.
Network Administrator
“Liked accurate detection of PCI, PHI, and PII data and solid reporting. Found indexing needs substantial computing power and memory.”
