Data classification: A means to an end

Abstract

The volume of data continues to grow at an incredible rate, with some predicting as much as a 50× growth from 2010 to 2020 and yet the tools available to manage that growth haven’t changed a great deal in recent years. With changes in regulation, such as the European Union’s new General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), knowing what data you have, where it is, what it is and how it is processed and then being able to apply the appropriate controls is becoming increasingly more important. This paper puts forward reasons why data discovery and data classification are two techniques that should be used to help manage data and the additional benefits that can be realised while moving organisations closer to compliance.
