Data Security extends its governance and protection capabilities automatically for files, securing that content—before it's shared. Data Security provides automatic remediation, but it’s even better to avoid the sharing. The removal of public links offers necessary security, but results in broken links and confusion for collaborators. Data classification labels provide security without usability conditions.

Simply define data classification labels in the schema map provided. Data Security analyzes content. If any content is sensitive, Data Security applies a classification label you define in your schema map. If a policy prevents the sharing of sensitive content, asset owners don't see some share options thereby preventing sensitive content exfiltration.

Data Security automatically generates data patterns based on the classification labels. An asset can potentially have more than one label. If an asset matches more than one policy, Data Security applies the most strict label.

You can use classification labels to:

Before you enable classification labels, you must add your Box app so Data Security can discover those assets.
