Automated Classification for Payment and Banking Data

Label cardholder and customer data consistently across the bank, so every control — from DLP to access — inherits the same context.

The Challenge

Manual Labelling Does Not Scale

Cardholder data, customer records and internal reports are spread across hundreds of shares and mailboxes. Asking staff to label them by hand produces inconsistent results between teams, and inconsistent labels weaken every control that relies on them.

When payment-card and banking rules ask where regulated data lives, the honest answer is often "we are not sure" — and that gap is what reviews tend to find first.

The Data Guard Approach

How It Works, Step by Step

01

Define one scheme

Set a single label scheme — for example Public, Internal, Confidential, Restricted — that reflects the rules your institution answers to.

02

Label at scale

Data Guard Classification applies labels automatically where the match is clear, lets users label in their normal workflow, and sends uncertain matches to a reviewer.

03

Make labels stick

Labels are stored with the file and travel with it, so DLP, access and retention decisions all read the same context.

04

Report coverage

See how much of your data is labelled, and which regulated files are still unlabelled, before a review asks.

Outcomes

What You End Up With

Consistent labels

The same categories applied the same way across teams and storage.

Shared context

DLP, access and retention controls all act on one set of labels.

Visible coverage

A clear, defensible picture of what is labelled and why.
