Network Drives\Shares as destination in Data Control?

Our environment contains large amount of PID that should only be stored on ISO27001 Compliant storage, therefore we'd like to prevent PID from being transferred to group drives and scan group drives for PID. The PID can be define with the Data Control Rules. It doesn't appear that Transfers to Network Storage isn't monitored by Data Control Currently, is this on the road map to be added as this is crucial functionality for us? Also, is it possible that the scan could detect PID on the drives?

  • Hello Jack Williman,

    Data Control is strictly concerned with data (potentially) leaving the site.
    It isn't sophisticated data protection but a by-product of On-Access scanning. Thus any data read by a (supported) browser is considered a potential loss (you can't exempt internal web servers as destinations), all storage that is not of type Removable - whether local or remote - is considered on-site, furthermore devices are not checked whether they are internal or external.

    the scan could detect PID?
    as said, Data Control piggybacks on On-Access scanning. In theory an on-demand scan could apply the same rules but AFAIK this hasn't been implemented.
