Strac Data Classification
Strac Data Classification identifies and classifies sensitive information across SaaS, cloud, and endpoint environments, as well as databases, file shares, logs, documents, email, chat, and AI tools. Its machine-learning model scans text, attachments, and audio or video recordings. Listed categories include personal, health, and financial information, secrets, profanity, network details, vehicle data, and voice recordings. Organizations can define custom rules, including regex detection and examples from uploaded documents. Mapped policies can automatically apply Microsoft Purview Information Protection or Google Drive labels. Strac also lists actions such as encryption, masking, redaction, alerts, deletion, blocking, and revoking access. Named integrations include Office 365, Google Drive, AWS, Azure, Snowflake, Microsoft AIP, Google Cloud DLP, and Google Workspace IRM. Reporting and analytics are intended to support compliance monitoring and audits. The solution is described as agentless, with Linux, macOS, Windows, web, and self-hosted platforms listed. Pricing is by scope-based quote; the maker says an itemized quote follows a 30-minute scoping call.
