We are excited to announce the release of our new Data Access Security SharePoint Server connector!
Description
The new connector extends Data Access Security’s Resource Discovery and Data Classification capabilities to SharePoint Servers, hosted on customers premises, delivering enhanced visibility, and enabling effective governance of data assets hosted in SharePoint.
Administrators, Data Owners, Compliance Managers, and other stakeholders can now leverage Data Access Security to get insights into the data they own and are responsible for governing, across the organizations in cloud and on-premises enterprise applications alike, through a single pane of glass.
New Capabilities
- Resource discovery – Discover unstructured data assets hosted anywhere on the SharePoint Server Collaboration Suite. Map how data is distributed across distributed SharePoint environments.
- Data Classification – Classify and catalog sensitive data hosted on SharePoint sites and folders – including regulated information that needs to comply with regulatory requirements, or crown jewels and intellectual property that may be overly shared through the SharePoint collaboration portals.
- Distributed Environment Support – Easily govern complex SharePoint farms that spans multiple content servers and databases, through a single centralized dynamic connectivity.
- Pre-Reqs and Connectivity Validation - Easily validate access and connectivity requirements are met with a click of a button, to ensure successful application onboarding, and save time avoiding unnecessary changes to settings. Get immediate indication on configurations validations, and get recommendations on remediating incorrect settings.
- Reporting - Leverage automated and scheduled out-of-the-box reporting capabilities detailing data assets and data classification distribution, and ad-hoc reports for customized focused insights.
Additional Information
The Data Access Security SharePoint connector requires Virtual Appliance clusters to perform on-premises data collection. Please follow the instructions detailed in the connector documentation.
