Abstract
A computer-implemented method for normalizing data-loss-prevention categorization information, at least a portion of the method being performed by a computing system comprising at least one processor, may identify a data object at a first time. The method may apply a first version of a set of data-loss-prevention rules to the data object to determine a set of categorizations of the data object. The method may distinguish a set of content-based categorizations in the set of categorizations from a set of context-based categorizations in the set of categorizations. The method may apply, based on the set of categorizations, a first data-loss-prevention policy to the data object. The method may identify the data object at a second time, and apply, based on the set of content-based categorizations, a second data-loss-prevention policy to the data object. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.
