Protegrity’s Data Security Methodology consists of the following stages:

Classification
Discovery
Protection

Monitoring

The following diagram summarizes each stage:

Classification

In the Classification stage, determine which data is considered sensitive for the enterprise, and why it needs to be protected. At this stage, it is important to understand the regulatory landscape in which the company is operating and the risk measurement framework associated with the privacy risk. An enterprise may need to meet certain regulatory compliance requirements or laws, such as:

The Policy Management dashboard consists of the following three areas:

Summary
Keys
Statuses

Note: The Statuses area is a legacy feature that is not applicable for 10.0.x protectors and later. For 10.0.x protectors and later, you can access the information about the protector statuses from the Protegrity Dashboard.

Summary

The Summary area displays an overview of the number of policy components created using the Policy Management Web UI. The following policy components appear under the Summary area:

Package Deployment

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

Starting with version 10.0.x artifacts such as the Data Security Policy or the DSG CoP rulesets, are distributed to Protectors through Packages. Packages in the ESA are resilient. Protectors store the resilient Packages using dynamic memory allocation, allowing for high scalability and performance.

A Data Security Policy is deployed in the ESA either using the ESA Web UI or the Policy Management API. A deployed policy indicates that it is ready to be distributed to the Protectors. If multiple policies exist in one data store, then the policies are merged on deployment. A deployed policy can be distributed to the Protectors using one of the following methods:

Legacy Features

The following Policy Management features are not applicable for 10.0.x protectors and later:

Policy Management > Nodes
Policy Management > Dashboard > Statuses

For more information about these Legacy features for your supported Protectors earlier than 10.0.x, refer to a corresponding version of the Policy Management Guide from the My.Protegrity website.

For 10.0.x protectors and later, you can access the information about the protector nodes and statuses from the Protegrity Dashboard.
