The company’s Sensitive Data Manager is deployed as an on-premises solution to extend the protection provided by Microsoft AIP and MIP to environments and platforms outside the Microsoft ecosystem. This provides greater visibility and understanding of the organization's sensitive data, while adding the controls and policies suited to supporting compliance, privacy, and ethical data governance.

Sensitive Data Manager applies context-aware sensitive data detection and purposeful classification using a range of techniques not possible with RegEx, data matching, or manually applied classification technologies. It then automatically federates access, use, and privacy policies across every platform, app, or instance where that data resides.

Sensitive Data Manager delivers complete data privacy protection in a phased approach that includes:

• Privacy-grade Discovery: Discovery processes apply a set of technologies and techniques to discover sensitive personal information contained within structured data in relational databases and unstructured data on fileshares, cloud repositories, and endpoints.
• Persistent Classification: Spirion applies labels that can be customized based on the sensitivity of the data, the process in which data is collected, the purpose of the data collection, or any number of governance policies set out by an organization.
• Real-time remediation: Securely process personal data from collection through disposal. Control how personal data is retained, logged, generated, transformed, disclosed, and shared. Collect and provide the evidence necessary for defensible deletion.

Organizations deploying Sensitive Data Manager can deliver a demonstrable path to compliance with regulations that include CCPA, HIPAA, the GDPR and others. The solution helps to reduce or better manage risk associated with problematic data actions such as collection, retention, logging, generation, transformation, use, disclosure, sharing, and disposal of sensitive data.
