On this last page, several options will determine how PII and other sensitive data are found and matched during the data classification process.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">First, choose an existing IRI project with a Data Class Rule Library in it from the top dropdown menu. Based on the Data Class Rule Library selected, the data classes belonging to the library will be displayed in the table.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Check on or off to the left of each data class to determine which data classes should be used during the data classification process. Again, to learn about data classification and the different search methods to match PII, see this <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.iri.com\/blog\/data-protection\/iri-data-classification\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">article<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After indicating which data classes to use in searches, you can configure \u201cdepth of matching\u201d parameters for the data in your files. The first parameter is the matching threshold, which will stop the scan once the matching threshold is reached after N number rows of data (see below).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For this example, say the default threshold is set to. This means that if 90% of the first group of data in a column matches against a specific data class, scanning down that field stops and moves on to the next field in the file.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The second parameter for depth of matching determines how many rows (records) in a file(s) may be potentially read and scanned. The default option is to scan the first 4096 (or some other specified number of records) and determine if there is a match based on whether the matching threshold was met. If no match is found in the first block of records in that field, scanning moves on to the next field.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you need a more thorough scanning process, the second option is a better choice, but it can increase the amount of time it will take to scan the file(s). This is because the process continues to search through the fields in 4K blocks until it reaches the matching threshold or there is no more data.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can instead choose to not match the data itself, but just on the column name. This will speed up the matching process in exchange for losing the ability to analyze the data itself.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Clicking <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Finish<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> starts the search\/map process.
