Data Classification

Overview

AutoRABIT Guard’s Data Classification enhances your organization's ability to identify and manage sensitive data within Salesforce environments. By automatically classifying and categorizing data based on sensitivity and compliance requirements, AutoRABIT supports your data governance and security strategies.

Key Capabilities

• Automated Data Classification Instantly scans your Salesforce org—including all custom fields across all objects—and classifies them against key regulations:

  • PCI

  • HIPAA

  • GDPR

  • COPPA

  • CCPA

  • PersonalInfo

  • PII

• Regulation-Based Filtering Use the Relevant Regulations filter to quickly identify which fields align with specific compliance standards.

• Object-Based Filtering Select to review fields based on specific Objects.

• Field Insights: Know What's Really Happening For each classified field, Guard provides detailed context on how it matches a specific regulation—going beyond static definitions. Why It Matters? It's not enough to know a field is sensitive—you need to know how widely it's used and in what contexts. Guard tells you:

  • Where the field lives: See where the field appears across your org in Page Layouts, Apex Classes, Flows, Validation Rules, etc.

• How often it's populated: Understand if the field is frequently used, rarely touched, or unused—critical for prioritizing cleanup or lockdowns.

• Access Visibility: See Who Has Keys Even well-protected data becomes a risk if too many people have access to it. With Guard, you can instantly view which Profiles, Permission Sets, and Permission Set Groups have access to a sensitive field.
