6.1 Activity Summary
|
Activity Description |
Once the discovery and review process has been established, it should be scaled out to extend the discovered catalog of unstructured data to address further locations and repositories. |
|
Goals |
Address the entire data scope and build a complete view of your information landscape. |
|
Participants |
Application Administrator, Data analysts, IT team |
|
Pre-requisites |
|
|
Outputs |
Scale out the newly created discovery and review process, and extend the discovered catalog of unstructured data to address further locations and repositories. |
6.2 Determine Data Source Paths
Identify appropriate Data Sources to partition the repositories on your inventory. Factors to consider include any logical segregation of data that already exists, volume of specific sub-locations and desired frequency of re-discovery.
6.3 Prioritize Data Sources
Prioritize the list of data sources to reflect the likelihood that you may identify data that does not comply with the desired data profile.
6.4 Manage Collectors
The appropriate Deployment Architecture to cover target repositories was addressed during the preparation phase. If necessary, complete the deployment of on-premise Collectors in alignment with the schedule for adding Data Sources.
6.5 Create and Monitor Data Sources
You can now steadily increase the number of Data Sources defined within the ActiveNav Cloud platform, following the prioritized list of Data Source locations.
As new Data Sources are added, the Application Administrator can monitor their progress and address any issues encountered. For instance, it is common to need to resolve inconsistencies in the expected permissions on content which can lead to a Collector failing to access some locations.
6.6 Manage Business Units
When a Data Source is complete, locations within the Data Source can be assigned to the relevant Business Units, or new Business Units can be created. Please refer to the following KBA for information:
6.7 Direct Review Activities
As Data Sources are completed and Business Units are updated, you can direct the relevant data analysts, and data owners to begin review activities on the newly discovered data, via the relevant Business Units. In turn, the reviewers can generate exports of data for remediation, and route through disposition process.
6.8 Repeat to Complete Catalog
The process of adding new Data Sources, monitoring them, and delegating review activities can then be iterated to build out the catalog of unstructured data.
