Data Classification
What is Data Classification and Why is it Important?
From your social security number to a customer file, anything with sensitive information should be filtered and identified so that the most vulnerable assets can be protected. With increasing cybersecurity threats, data classification has never been more important to safeguard your agency from data leaks and cyberattacks. Spirion through the OMNIA Partners cooperative contract offers solutions to unify security, privacy and governance.

SLED
Government officials are responsible for a broad spectrum of citizens’ personal information, from Social Security numbers and tax documents to property deeds and census data. They are also responsible for creating systems to protect that information and ensuring the network infrastructure is safeguarded from attacks, although this is often hampered by complex IT environments and limited budgets and staff.
Over the past few years, the public sector has been hit with ransomware attacks, making essential services, including 911 emergency centers, unavailable. Governments are also at higher risk of hacktivist attacks from groups trying to promote a political or social agenda, not to mention unexpected threats from contractors and employees. Elected leaders may not be aware of the level or types of cyberattacks on their networks, or they may not have teams in place qualified to handle security situations. Cybersecurity ends up being a lower priority compared to funding emergency services and education – until a data breach happens.
Spirion minimizes the risk associated with citizen information and highly sensitive agency data. With accurate visibility into sprawling data repositories, public sector agencies will reduce risk exposure, improve efficiencies, and inform decision-making while facilitating compliance with data protection and privacy legislation, including CMMC, CJIS, HIPAA, FERPA, and more.
MIP/AIP
Today’s SLED agencies own extensive IT landscapes. The sheer volume of data and its widespread nature makes it nearly impossible by conventional means to effectively locate and classify according to its sensitivity level. The rise of data regulations like CMMC, CJIS and FERPA and many others demand a robust approach to minimize breaches and preserve and protect sensitive data.
Traditionally, enterprises have often relied on vendor-supplied information protection tools. Microsoft, for example, offers Microsoft Information Protection (MIP) and Azure Information Protection (AIP) to label and classify data within the Microsoft and Azure environment. But today’s enterprises are increasingly adopting a multicloud business strategy and spending as much as 35% more annually on private and public cloud options than in the past.Given that their data will naturally end up living in one or more of those platforms at any given time, agencies are now seeking vendor-agnostic solutions, like Spirion, to help them gain visibility and transparency into their data across systems, platforms, and environments.

CMMC/CUI
Maintaining compliance with CMMC requires using the right set of tools that are able to locate CUI or export-controlled data, as well as other sensitive data like Personally Identifiable Information (PII). Automated tools reduce the overall time spent locating documents with common categories or markings that may be in scope of the CMMC.
Spirion offers solutions that:
- identify both PII and CUI across structured and unstructured data by searching text and images
- accurately discover common PII sensitive data types
- create custom sensitive data types to search for phrases, words, and acronyms that are indicative of CUI
- enable regular CUI risk assessments with its automatic data discovery capabilities and dynamic dashboards
- automatically and persistently classify data and imbed labels into documents and files
DoD contractors can prevent unauthorized/unintended transfers and publication of CUI with the help of a strong solution like Spirion and ensure that their department is CMMC compliant.

CJIS
CJIS Security Policy is among the most important government regulations, yet compliance is extremely difficult. Maintaining data integrity helps keep the criminal justice system safe, secure, and honest. Understanding where your sensitive CJI lives, how it is collected and used, and if or when it’s shared is vital to remaining compliant.
Spirion can help your agency discover, classify, and remediate sensitive data across your entire IT environment with 98.5% accuracy.
