2.5 Determine Whether to Scan File Content

Among the capabilities of File Reporter is the ability to scan and classify file content. For example, you can scan for files containing U.S. Social Security numbers and then classify these documents as restricted documents whose access permissions and storage locations might need to be corrected.

File Content scanning can only be conducted on files stored on Windows network storage devices and requires that Active Directory be configured as one of the identity systems.

If you plan to scan Windows network storage devices for file content, you will need to install the following additional components:

  • RabbitMQ messaging broker

  • ManagerFC

  • AgentFC
