Voltage Data Access GovernanceComprising 80 percent or more of an organization’s total stored data,
unstructured data is perhaps the most vulnerable to data breaches. Voltage Data
Access Governance identifies, secures, and protects sensitive unstructured data,
extending the comprehensive data security and protection of Voltage Fusion.

When it comes to protecting sensitive
data from unauthorized access, mostorganizations tend to focus first on theirrecords stored in application databases—
frequently referred to as “structured data.”
Afterall, this is normally where the regulated
personal information (PII, PCI, PHI, etc.) isstored. Noncompliance with regulations
protecting the privacy of personal information
can result in huge fines.
But an organization’s sensitive data can also
exist in “unstructured data.” Unstructured
data includes the word processing files
containing sensitive legal information, thespreadsheets with yet-to-be announced sales
results, presentation files covering strategic
marketing plans, upcoming press releases
stored as PDFs, and countless other file types
that are stored on network storage areasor the cloud. Unstructured data makes up
80 percent or more of an organization’s
data so identifying where sensitive files are
stored and then taking needed action canbe challenging.

Data Access Governance

Recognizing the risks and vulnerabilityof unauthorized access to sensitive
unstructured data, analysts have identified
and defined the data access governance(DAG) market segment. Its objective is toidentify stored unstructured data (including“dark data” that hasn’t been accessed foryears) and who has access to it and thenprovide the means of securing, protecting,archiving, or disposing of this data throughautomated processes.

Voltage Data Access Governance

Since its initial product introduction in
2003, the team that develops what today
is known as OpenText™ File Reporter andOpenText™ File Dynamics has continuously
been addressing the objectives of what
would years later be classified as the DAG
market. Through an identity-driven approach,these products reported on, and throughautomation, managed and controlled accessto unstructured data located in the network
file system and Microsoft 365 cloud libraries,
helping to ensure that only the right people
had the right information at the right time.
This legacy continues with Voltage Data
Access Governance by OpenText. Voltage Data
Access Governance:• Determines if sensitive and high-value data
is being stored in secure locations• Identifies who has access to these files• Corrects access permissions for over- andunder-exposed data• Enforces policies governing how accesspermissions can change

Data Discovery with File Reporter
The File Reporter application built into
Voltage Data Access Governance inventoriesnetwork file systems and Microsoft 365 cloudlibraries to deliver the detailed file storage
intelligence you need to optimize and secure
your network for efficiency and compliance.
Engineered for enterprise level reporting,
File Reporter gathers data across the millions
of files and folders scattered among the
network storage devices and Microsoft 365
cloud libraries that make up your network.
Flexible reporting, filtering, and querying
options then present the exact findings youneed so you can demonstrate complianceor take corrective action.

File Reporter delivers the following data
access governance core capabilities:• Data discovery• Owner identification• Analysis of data relevancy• Detection of data risk and vulnerabilities
CONTENT ANALYSIS WITH VOLTAGE FUSION

When used with Voltage Fusion by OpenText
for data content analysis, File Reporter canspecify the locations of unstructured datawith PII, PCI, PHI, etc., and identify who hasaccess to these files, equipping you with thedetails you need to take corrective action.

Automated Remediation
through File Dynamics
The File Dynamics application included inVoltage Data Access Governance automates
network file system management taskswhile securing your organization’s mostimportant files from unauthorized accessthrough the power of policy-enacted data
management. Identity-driven policies
provision user and group storage, perform
day-to-day management tasks, and clean up
and dispose of storage content. Target-driven
policies move files, clean up storage, andsecure storage locations storing sensitiveand high-value data.
File Dynamics policies include policies that
can automatically:• Entitle access to secure data locations
based on user role
• Groom unallowable file types, for example
personal media files, from storage• Move files from a less secure to a moresecure location• Create workloads for migrating large setsof data
• Notify you of changes to NTFS permissions
on a specific network folder or share• Lock down NTFS access permissions sothat if they are modified, they are reverted
back to the original permissions.
• Create Fencing policies that limit or restrict
access based on user role
• And many other tasks
