Discovery and classification of unstructured data

IBM StoredIQ artifacts such as infosets, volumes, and filters are represented as information assets within the governance catalog so that you can get a unified view of the content and can govern these assets through glossary terms, governance rules, business rules, and so on. In addition, you can trace the usage of those information assets through data lineage reports, for example, for compliance reporting.

Information classifications such as data class definitions are synchronized between IBM StoredIQ and the governance catalog so that those classifications are used uniformly across structured and unstructured content in the enterprise. Thus, you can find data of a certain data class in structured and unstructured content, for example, to detect policy violations for placement of sensitive data, so that you can apply the required actions such as preventing copying of sensitive information.

The synchronization of data from IBM StoredIQ to the governance catalog happens on a predefined schedule.

Synchronization of data from the governance catalog to IBM StoredIQ is triggered by Kafka events.
