A scalable way to secure your data
Attach policies to custom classifications, like PII and GDPR
Whenever an asset is tagged as PII, your access policies are automatically applied. No more nights spent worrying if your data is in the wrong hands.
Create and scale granular metadata and data policies
Depending on the classification, select who can view and edit metadata, and who should be able to query and preview sensitive data.
