Discovery policies

A discovery policy specifies the configuration used when running a discovery operation, including which classifiers are used and how detection results are evaluated. Policies allow organizations to standardize how sensitive data is detected across different environments and datasets.

Policies are applied when running discovery on a ruleset. During execution, the discovery process evaluates the tables and columns defined in the ruleset using the classifiers configured in the selected policy.
