GEODI 10 – Unified Classification Across Your Entire Data Estate

For years, organizations have invested heavily in classifying sensitive information. Yet classification often remains fragmented.

Documents are labeled in Office applications, emails carry their own metadata, file shares contain years of existing classifications, and structured databases store sensitivity information in entirely different ways. As organizations adopt new collaboration platforms and operating systems, maintaining a consistent classification strategy becomes even more challenging.

The problem is no longer how to classify data. The real challenge is how to keep classification consistent wherever data lives.

A Unified Approach

GEODI 10 introduces significant enhancements to its Unified Classification capabilities by bringing together three complementary capabilities:

  • Native Add-ins for creating and applying classifications where users work.
  • Legacy Classification for discovering and recognizing existing classifications across enterprise data.
  • Legacy Classification Audit for analyzing and evaluating historical classification practices.

Together, they create a single classification strategy that spans the entire data estate.

Native Classification Wherever Users Work

Users should not have to change the way they work to classify information.

GEODI Classifier now provides native classification experiences across:

  • Windows Office
  • macOS Office
  • Windows Explorer
  • SharePoint
  • Outlook Web (OWA)
  • Microsoft 365

This allows organizations to offer a consistent user experience regardless of the platform or application being used. Whether a document is created on Windows, edited on macOS, uploaded to SharePoint, or shared through Microsoft 365, users interact with the same classification model and policies.

Legacy Classification: Preserve Existing Investments

Unified Classification is not only about newly created documents.

Most organizations already possess years of classified information distributed across different repositories. Reclassifying millions of files is rarely practical—and often unnecessary.

GEODI Legacy Classification automatically discovers and recognizes existing classifications across:

  • Structured data
  • Unstructured documents
  • Emails
  • Email attachments
  • Existing repositories

Instead of replacing previous investments, GEODI incorporates them into a unified governance model.

Legacy Classification Audit: Understand Before You Migrate

Before organizations can modernize their classification strategy, they need to understand the one they already have.

Years of mergers, acquisitions, migrations, policy changes, and different classification solutions often leave organizations with inconsistent, outdated, or overlapping classifications spread across multiple repositories.

GEODI 10 introduces Legacy Classification Audit, allowing organizations to assess their existing classification landscape before making any changes.

With Legacy Classification Audit, organizations can:

  • Identify which classification systems are currently in use.
  • Measure classification coverage across repositories.
  • Detect obsolete, inconsistent, or missing classifications.
  • Compare historical classifications with current policies.
  • Build migration and remediation plans based on real data instead of assumptions.

Rather than immediately replacing existing classifications, organizations gain visibility into their current state, making future classification initiatives significantly safer and more effective.

One Classification Strategy

By combining native classification, legacy classification discovery, and legacy classification auditing, organizations gain a single view of classification across their environment.

The same classification information becomes available for:

  • Discovery
  • Search
  • DSPM
  • Governance
  • Compliance
  • Reporting
  • Remediation workflows

Classification is no longer isolated within individual applications or repositories. It becomes an enterprise-wide asset that supports security, governance, and operational efficiency.

Classification Without Boundaries

Modern data environments extend far beyond desktops and document libraries. Information continuously moves between endpoints, collaboration platforms, cloud services, emails, databases, and file repositories.

Your classification strategy should move with it.

GEODI 10 unifies classification across the entire information lifecycle—from creating new classifications through native add-ins, to discovering and auditing existing ones, and finally using them consistently for governance and protection.

Create. Discover. Audit. Govern.

One Classification Strategy. Everywhere Your Data Lives.
