Sensitive data settings

Coro enables you to specify sensitive data types to scan on endpoint device drives to detect potential privacy violations. When sensitive information is detected on a device drive, Coro raises Endpoint Data Governance tickets to alert admin users.

Coro does not actively monitor device drives for violations. An admin user with sufficient permissions must initiate or schedule a scan on a protected device to detect potential policy violations. For more details, see:

To access sensitive data settings:

  1. Sign in to the Coro console.

  2. From the sidebar, select Control Panel:

Data privacy configuration

Create a data privacy configuration tailored to your organization’s needs. Based on your selected industry, Coro automatically selects the sensitive data types to scan for on device drives. This streamlines data privacy setup and enables:

  • Industry-based configuration: Select your industry to tailor data privacy settings to your organization.

  • Automated sensitive data type recommendations: Coro automatically selects sensitive data types based on your industry to help reduce ticket fatigue by minimizing unnecessary ticket generation. For more information, see Sensitive data types assigned per industry.

  • Configuration customization: Modify industry selections and data types to fit your organization’s needs.

For information on the sensitive data that Coro recognizes, see Sensitive data recognized by Coro.

For information on sensitive data type tickets, see Ticket types for Endpoint Data Governance.
