Cetbix offers a detailed asset classification process that includes repository information, data type details, confidentiality levels, and risk registers1. This structured approach simplifies the organization and management of diverse data assets.

By providing these features, Cetbix inventory enables organizations to integrate their data more efficiently, reducing the complexity and time required for comprehensive data management and compliance.

How Cetbix inventory manage data classification

Cetbix inventory manages data classification through a comprehensive and structured approach:

Classification Process

  • Utilizes an Information Confidentiality Classification Scheme to categorize data based on legal requirements, value, criticality, and sensitivity to unauthorized disclosure or modification.
  • Assigns a Sensitivity Level to each dataset, ensuring appropriate security protections are in place.
  • Incorporates a Confidentiality Level for each asset in the inventory.


AI-Enhanced Classification

Cetbix employs AI to enhance the classification process, making it more efficient and accurate.

Customization and Flexibility

  • Allows organizations to define their own classification levels, typically ranging from three to five categories.
  • Supports custom classification schemes to meet specific organizational needs.

Integration with Security Controls

  • Uses classification levels to determine and consistently apply appropriate security controls across datasets.
  • Facilitates the implementation of Data Loss Prevention (DLP) tools based on classification data.

Reporting and Analysis

  • Provides summaries and reports on files per classification by department, repository, and control.
  • Offers a 3D Risk management dashboard for data visualization.

By providing these features, Cetbix inventory enables organizations to effectively manage their data classification, ensuring proper protection and compliance for sensitive information.

How Cetbix inventory integrate data from different departments

Cetbix inventory integrates data from different departments through several key features:

  • 360° Data Inventory: Cetbix creates a comprehensive view of data sources across all departments, enabling accurate prioritization analysis.
  • Data Silo Integration: The system integrates data silos that departments may have kept in Excel files or Access databases, overcoming challenges when incorporating this data into a data mart or data warehouse.
  • AI-Enhanced Inventorization: Cetbix utilizes AI to enhance comprehensive internal interviews for asset identification across departments, streamlining the often time-consuming process of data gathering.
  • Unified Data Management: The inventory covers both personal and general data, allowing organizations to create a unified data inventory across all departments.
  • Standardized Classification: Cetbix provides a standardized process for asset classification, including repository information, data type details, and confidentiality levels, ensuring consistency in data handling across departments.
  • Centralized Management: The system allows for centralized management of data assets from various departments, representing a significant shift for organizations with siloed departmental structures.

By implementing these features, Cetbix inventory helps organizations create a cohesive data management strategy across different departments, improving overall data accuracy and accessibility.
