DECE Software Geodi: Finding, Classifying and Protecting Data

DECE Software Geodi is a data governance solution family that finds, classifies and protects documents and content in corporate data sources according to their meaning, sensitivity and defined business rules. Over the years, file systems, document repositories and databases fill up with data sets no one fully inventories; DLP, access control and retention policies only work properly when it is known what the data is.

Three Capabilities

Data discovery: File systems, document repositories and databases are scanned, and sensitive, personal or regulated information is inventoried with its type, location, likely owner and risk status.

Classification: Structured and unstructured data is sorted into classes such as personal data, financial information or intellectual property, automatically or with user assistance, and labelled.

Masking: Personal and critical fields are transformed with masking, anonymisation and, where needed, synthetic data while preserving functional integrity, so testing, analytics and sharing can be done safely.

Benefits for Organisations

The security programme runs on an actual data inventory rather than assumptions. An auditable record is created for regulations such as data protection laws, redundant and risky data can be cleaned up, and the scope of affected records can be determined quickly in a breach. Development and test teams also need far less access to real customer data.
