Sensitive Data Discovery (SDD) API Reference Guide

Note

In previous documentation, identifier is referred to as classifier. The language is being updated to identifier to be more accurate and not conflate meaning with the Immuta data classification and frameworks feature.

Workflow

  1. Create a custom identifier.
  2. Create a template containing one or more identifiers.
  3. Search for identifiers or templates.
  4. Apply templates to one or more data sources.
  5. Run SDD on one or more data sources; tags are applied to columns where identifiers were detected.
  6. Update identifiers or templates.
  7. Delete identifiers or templates.
