Exact Data Matching Column Context for Enterprise DLP Incidents
Enhance visibility into Exact Data Matching (EDM) by displaying the specific columns
when Enterprise Data Loss Prevention (E-DLP) detects sensitive data in a DLP incident.
When investigating sensitive data incidents, understanding exactly where and why a
match occurred is critical for effective remediation. The Exact Data Match (EDM)
Column Context feature solves this challenge by displaying the specific column names
from the uploaded EDM data set alongside matched data snippets when reviewing an
Enterprise Data Loss Prevention (E-DLP)
incident. This enhanced visibility
eliminates the guesswork in determining whether a match on data like
123-45-6789 occurred in a
Social
Security Number,
Loan Application
Number, or
Patient ID column to
provide immediate context for your incident analysis. Data security administrators
can now quickly validate the accuracy of matches without contacting support, as the
system clearly indicates which column triggered each detection. This transparency is
particularly valuable for compliance officers who require detailed audit trails
showing precisely what data caused a match, streamlining regulatory reporting. EDM
Column Context also helps new data security administrators understand EDM
functionality faster by making the connection between matched content and data
structure explicit. By presenting column information alongside existing match
details in the DLP incident, data security administrators gain greater confidence in
your data protection strategy while reducing the time spent interpreting detection
results.
