DGIQ-W23: Discovering and Governing Confidential Data

This is Subscription-Only Content, It is NOT purchasable as a separate product

I recently lead an initiative to create an inventory of confidential unstructured (files on the network) and structured data (data in databases) for an organization. I had to work through questions such as: What is confidential data? Where is it located? Who knows where it is? How do we find it? How do we even get started? How do we verify and govern the resulting inventory?

In this session, we will answer the questions above and cover:

Laws, regulations, and internal policies that help define confidential data
How records retention and data governance play a part and work together
How to determine what to look for within your organization
Steps to accomplishing the goal
What we learned and the challenges we faced
How to move forward once an inventory is created
