Lepide Data Classification vs Privy by IDfy

Lepide Data Classification scans unstructured data to find and classify sensitive information such as PII, PHI, PCI, and intellectual property. It offers hundreds of predefined criteria sets for locating sensitive data and mapping it to compliance mandates, and users can create custom classifications. Supported sources include Windows File Server, NetApp Filer, Exchange, SharePoint, OneDrive, Dropbox, Linux, Unix, NAS, and cloud storage. The product can classify data incrementally as it is created or modified after an initial scan, and Lepide describes identifying sensitive data at creation for persistent classification. It can score data by content risk, add context through proximity scanning, and provide visibility into access and user activity. Classified data can also be used with predefined threat models for detection and automated response. Lepide Identify can schedule Windows File Server PII searches for DSAR, right-to-be-forgotten, and eDiscovery requests. Deployment is hybrid; the DDC Agent requires a Windows system and an accessible Microsoft SQL Server database. Pricing is quote-based, and a 15-day trial includes 24x5 Full Support evaluation assistance.
