Sensitive Settings

Configure the settings for what happens when users mark assets with a Sensitive status

Does your organization store important information like employee records, financial reports, or customer data? If so, Sensitive Settings is the perfect tool to help you protect and control access to these sensitive digital assets.

What are Sensitive Settings?

Sensitivity settings are features that allow you to manage and restrict access to stored sensitive digital assets. This feature ensures that only authorized users can view or handle these assets.

Why should you use Sensitive Settings?
  • Maximum data protection: Automatically flag and manage sensitive assets.

  • Prevent unauthorized access: Ensure only permitted users can view or share sensitive files.

  • Efficient departmental access control: For example, the HR department can restrict access to candidate records, preventing the admissions team or others from viewing them.

Step 2: Sensitive Settings

1, Enable Default Sensitive Date

  • Automatically mark uploaded assets as “sensitive” after a set number of days.

  • This is useful for time-sensitive content such as financial statements or personal data. After the specified time, assets are restricted from being accessed unless the user has the correct permission.

2, Notify Admins When Assets Are Marked as Sensitive

  • Automatically sends notifications to administrators whenever an asset is flagged as sensitive.

  • Helps administrators monitor sensitive content and take action such as reviewing access permissions or applying added protection.

3, Notify Admins Prior to Assets Being Marked as Sensitive

  • Sends alerts to administrators a certain number of days before an asset is scheduled to be marked as sensitive.

  • Allows time for review and adjustments before the asset is restricted, such as changing the setting or excluding the asset from the rule.
