The speed of data creation continues to increase, and that means the volume of data at rest is growing exponentially. With more people accessing and storing files in a multitude of network and cloud repositories, your sensitive data could be just about anywhere. Fortra’s Data Classification Suite (DCS) for Data at Rest helps you discover and identify your data at rest so you can apply classifications, including persistent metadata to secure your most valuable data.
How DCS for Data at Rest works
DCS for Data at Rest scans file storage, including on-premise file shares, Microsoft SharePoint, SharePoint Online, OneDrive, Box, and Dropbox. It examines and automatically classifies the data it discovers, ensuring appropriate data protection is applied. As it scans files, DCS for Data at Rest gathers extensive information about each file, building a data inventory for you to run analytics to identify risk areas.
Enhance your security ecosystem with data identification and classification
Data Classification metadata can be leveraged by other security solutions, such as data loss prevention (DLP), Secure Collaboration, cloud access security brokers (CASB), and next-generation firewalls to enforce the data protection policies you’ve defined.
DCS for Data at Rest helps you discover where your data is, how to define it, who has access to it, and how to protect it

| Key Feature | Benefit |
|---|---|
| Usability | Intuitive and simple user interface allows for efficient use |
| Discover and protect data at rest | By identifying and classifying data at rest, organizations can engage the entire ecosystem of information security products. DCS for Data at Rest enhances the ability of DLP, Secure Collaboration, and various other security solutions to apply the proper security controls based on the classification |
| Reporting | View details of a specified scan such as file size, type, number of files for selected scan, original classification, and any applied classifications that your employees are using to classify data |
| Performance monitoring | While performing a scan, DCS for Data at Rest displays how many files are being processed per second/minute using Windows Performance Monitor. Operators can view the Performance Monitor counters to determine when a scan is complete, or if there is a task that requires the operator’s attention |
| Regulatory compliance | DCS for Data at Rest can apply metadata and detect content on data at rest, allowing enterprises to prove regulatory compliance. When used with third-party encryption and Secure Collaboration software, enterprises can demonstrate use of best-of-breed technology and best practices with regard to regulations such as GDPR, CCPA, CUI, and the protection of personal data |
| Security enablement | DCS for Data at Rest can apply additional layers of security, such as automatic encryption, to your most valuable data |
