Sensitive Content Audit Interface

The Sensitive Content Audit interface is opened by searching for a particular criteria value. See the Search Features topic for additional information. It contains three panes in all audit interfaces: Reports, Results, and Group Membership.

In order to enable the criteria match search feature, the Store discovered sensitive data option must be enabled in the Enterprise Auditor data collector scanning the target environment. See the relevant solution topic in the Netwrix Enterprise Auditor Documentation for additional information on the data collection options.

The criterion being audited is identified at the top of the interface as part of the interface breadcrumb. See the Sensitive Content Reports topic for additional information.

Sensitive Content Reports

Sensitive Content reports are accessed through the Content Audit interface. You can access Sensitive Content reports by searching for sensitive data criterion or values on the Home page. These searches must be preceded by SDD and a space, for example SDD credit cards. Searches are not case sensitive. See the Search Features topic for additional information. The sensitive data being reviewed is identified in the upper-left corner. The data within these reports is collected by the Enterprise Auditor solutions which provide data to the Resource reports. See the desired solution topic in the Netwrix Enterprise Auditor Documentation for additional information.

In order to view populated Content reports, it is necessary to enable the Store discovered sensitive data option within Enterprise Auditor. This is a setting configured within the solutions’ collection query:

  • File System – Configure this option for the 1-SEEK System Scan job on the SDD Audit Criteria Settings page of the query configuration wizard
  • SharePoint – Solution automatically stores discovered sensitive data
  • SQL – Configure this option for the 3-SQL_SensitiveDataScan job on the Options page of the query configuration wizard

NOTE: Only Access Information Center users with either the Security Team role or the Console Administrator role will be able to perform Sensitive Data Discovery criteria searches. Reports are blank for Access Information Center users with the Reader role.

The Sensitive Content report identifies where potentially sensitive data has been found across the scanned targeted environments.
