General Architecture
Details about components and the workflow.
The main components of the Protegrity Data Discovery product are as follows:
Classification service: The access point for the requests.
Presidio and Roberta providers: These are used to identify, classify, and locate sensitive data.
The general architecture is illustrated in the following figure.
| Callout | Description |
|---|---|
| 1 | The user enters the data to be classified for sensitive data as text body and sends the request to the Classification service. |
| 2 | This Classification service then distributes the request to the Presidio and Roberta service providers to process the data. |
| 3 | The Presidio and Roberta providers process the data based on their logic and classify them in the form of a response to the Classification service. |
| 4 | The Classification service then aggregates the responses from the service providers and sends it to the user. |
