What are classification rules?
A classification rule helps you keep your data protected with less manual intervention. When you create a classification rule, you assign a classification level to a detection. A classification rule automatically applies a data classification level to content objects in Jira and Confluence based on detected content. By assigning classification levels to detections from Guard Detect, classification rules ensure that data is labeled consistently.
How do classification rules work?
When Guard detects matching data in a content object, such as a Confluence blog post or a Jira work item, it applies the relevant classification rule.
Example
Automatically prevent users from exporting a content object when it contains a credit card number
Let’s say your organization wants to ensure that any content object in your Confluence apps is restricted to prevent exports when the content object contains a credit card number.
As an organization admin, you’ve already set up classification levels for your organization. You’ve also configured your data security policy to prevent exports for the classification level of Highly confidential.
You can now set up a classification rule for credit card number detections. You set the rule to automatically update the content object’s classification level to Highly confidential.
When a user adds a credit card number to a Confluence page, the classification rule gets to work, changing the classification level to Highly confidential which in turn prevents users from exporting the page.
