Managing Sensitive Content Manager Profiles

A Sensitive Content Manager Profile is a named collection of content search and analysis guidelines. SCM includes a number of Standard (BuiltIn) Profiles for detecting Sensitive Content, which include:

·Personally Identifiable Information (PII)

·Protected Health Information (PHI)

·Payment Card Information (PCI)

·General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) compliance.

NOTE:   Quest continually adds new Standard (BuiltIn) Profiles, which cannot be modified or deleted.

Members of the ControlPoint Compliance Administrators group can also create and manage custom Profiles by defining  content search and analysis guidelines to use, as an organization's file analysis criteria may differ from those used in BuilIn Profiles. For example, you may want to create a custom Profile to group and weight a different subset of the predefined Search Terms, add custom Search Terms for sensitive data types, or analyze data that falls outside BuiltIn Profile definitions.

IMPORTANT:  If you have upgraded from Sensitive Content Manager 1.9, you may have to re-create (or try to restore) any existing custom Profiles, as the range of possible severity levels.  Contact Quest Support for assistance.

Sensitive Content Manager Profile Components

Sensitive Content Manager Profiles consist of the components described in the following table.

Profile Component

Description

Search Term

A word or any simple or complex alphanumeric pattern that represents sensitive information in a document.

For example, in the PII Profile, these Search Terms are the personal identifiable information like a person's name, date of birth, financial account numbers, address, email address, etc.

Each content search uses a set of Search Terms in a Profile.

Regular Expression (Regex)

The search syntax for a Search Term.  

The analysis engine matches the file contents with a Search Term based on the regex syntax specified in the Profile. You can define new Profiles that use the Standard Search Terms, or create Search Terms based on custom expressions.

NOTE:  Regular expressions for the predefined search terms are internally defined in the Search Term, and cannot be modified because they are not standalone regular expressions.

Weight

The degree of severity of a possible content match for a specific Profile.

File Score

That weight factor combined with the number of content matches encountered during an analysis job.

File scores are calculated during a file analysis to determine the overall severity level of a document

Creating, Editing, and Deleting Sensitive Content Manager Profiles

IMPORTANT: As of Metalogix Sensitive Content Manager version 2.0:

·The concept of Public vs. Private Profiles has been eliminated.  All Profiles can be viewed by all members of the Compliance Administrators group.

·The range of possible Severity Thresholds has been reduced to between 1 and 10.  If you have upgraded from an earlier version, Standard (BuiltIn) Profiles will reflect this change.  Any Custom Profiles, as well as pending content submissions that use older Profiles, may need to be re-created.

To create a Sensitive Content Manager Custom Profile:

1.From the Manage panel, choose Compliance > Profile Maintenance.

SCM Profile Maintenance

2Click [Create].

3Enter a unique title for the Profile, as well as a description that will be visible to end users.

Defining Compliance Action Rules

Members of the ControlPoint Compliance Administrators group can define Compliance Action rules to determine how non-compliant content should be handled, based on the severity level detected.  You can also specify that one or more users be alerted via email when a Compliance Action is taken.
