Abstract
A data management service identifies sensitive data stored on enterprise databases according to record classification rules that classify a data record as having a sensitive data type if the data record includes fields matching at least one of the record classification rules. The data management service determines assessment scores for enterprise databases according to sensitive data records and protection policies on the enterprise databases. The data management service provides an interface that groups enterprise databases having common attributes or common sensitive data types and indicates aggregated assessment scores for the groups of enterprise databases. Through the interface with the grouped enterprise databases, an administrator apply protection policies to enterprise databases. To apply the protection policy, the data management service applies the protection policy to a source database from which dependent enterprise databases access the sensitive database.
