Discover and Classify
IBM® Guardium® Discover and Classify software discovers and classifies sensitive data across on-premises and cloud environments. It is part of the IBM Guardium family of data security products.
Robust data protection begins by knowing where your sensitive data resides. IBM Guardium Discover and Classify discovers known and unknown sensitive data on premises and in the cloud—whether structured or unstructured, in motion or at rest.
IBM Guardium Discover and Classify network-based analytics, compliance-ready capabilities and ease of deployment make it a powerful complement to IBM Guardium for improving your data security posture management.

Enhance your existing security tools with precise sensitive data intelligence to prioritize effective actions.
Find and map previously unknown data—at rest or in motion—in the cloud or on premises.
Use scale-up architecture that supports loads of any size irrespective of data source type or location.
Apply automated controls for sensitive data according to business context and risk factors.
Achieve higher accuracy and minimize false positives and negatives in data classification.
Reduce the time and effort needed to discover and classify data in a complex environment.
Use cases
Seamless integration with OneTrust transforms your approach to privacy management, automates DSAR fulfillment, and minimizes the manual efforts and errors associated with data mapping and classification.
This integration leverages the strengths of both platforms, combining sensitivity labeling with advanced automation for precise data management, enabling organizations to navigate modern data environments with confidence.
IBM Guardium Discover and Classify automatically updates Collibra with the location, sensitivity and business context of unstructured data in near real time by using APIs, so organizations can gain total data visibility across all environments.
IBM Guardium Discover and Classify provides automated, near real-time discovery, network mapping and tracking of sensitive data. Combined with robust data monitorization from IBM Guardium Data Protection, it can help you boost operational efficiency, significantly reduce risk and lower costs for your organization.
Managed virtual servers (MVS) are used for structured data discovery and Terabyte (TB) is used for unstructured data discovery. Pricing varies based on number of data sources and configuration of your environment.
We count the number of individual database servers to determine the number of MVS, irrespective of the amount of database schema or data sources on this server.
The amount of uncompressed data on a repository, on a cloud or on premises.
Use contextual AI to deliver unmatched visibility and accuracy in data discovery and classification across mainframe environments.
