Overview of the Document Classification System

This guide covers different classification types that can be located in documents and the ability to configure the classification feature to read documents and match to classification types that are configured and apply a tag to the custom classification attribute in the search schema. This allows simple easy searches and scheduled reporting on compliance data. This allows aggregate reports and file lists for data that has been tagged by the classification system

Once the tagging configuration is in place, full scan index can tag existing data and incremental mode can detect new documents or modified documents and scan the documents for compliance data. This feature automates the whole process and reduces the complexity and time spent classifying data.

This feature can be used with custom tags for internal document classification for any vertical industry that has specific document types. This system is flexible to tag documents based on regex syntax matching that supports substitution and wild card for letters numbers in documents.

Understanding Classification vs key Word Searching

Key word searching is typically used for legal discovery to locate files needed for a specific investigation. It can also be used for end user search solution where users are locating documents based on key words. This includes adhoc searches for key words.

Data Classification focuses on locating well known data types within documents to ensure it has been secured correctly and the correct users have access to the information. Data Classification solutions search for well known data types such as credit cards for PCI, personal information such SIN number, drivers license, email address, addresses, health records. The data is typically employee data or customer data. Data classification is often alpha numeric patterns and this is best addressed with regex pattern matching.

Data Classification requires reading the content of the files and locating matching patterns for well known data types based on the specific compliance requirements. Solutions must be able to read many different file types, Search & Recover supports over 1500 file types. As business requirements change it is necessary to update the classification pattern matching policies.

Data Classification requires reading files each time a new classification tag is added, this requires rescanning the path in the file system. The data remains in the file system and is not copied into the index. This would require too much disk space to store the data in the index, an index does not store the documents themselves and only stores pointers to words in specific documents. All Data Classification systems must scan files in the file system itself to save space in the index and not duplicate the files in the index.

Search & Recover allows incremental scanning for new or modified files to be scanned quickly due to integration with Powerscale change list feature. For cold data a path scan is required and can be targeted anywhere in the file system with an index job that specifies a path to start the scan for new Data classification tags add to the system.


Best Practise (Content or Data Classification)

  1. Full Content indexing for adhoc unknown search requirements
  2. Data Classification to tag documents for compliance data identification or any alpha numeric pattern matching.  


Starting a Data Classification Project? Start here first

  1. Data classification requires a list of PHI or specific data tags needed before you start creating production rules in Search & Recover. As per above explanation scanning the file system should be done once all rules are created and tested with test data.
  2. List all data types needed
  3. Map out tags for reporting on each type of data
  4. Create test rules using examples in this guide
  5. Create test data with good and bad matches for testing.
  6. Follow the rules test feature to test matching logic quickly and easily.  Link here.
  7. You can also test with our test data and rules.  Link here.
  8. Modify your rules and test until you are ready to move into production.
  9. Once you are in production, we suggest copying your test data to a path that is covered by a full index path policy in Search & Recover. Then use the index on demand command to index your data without waiting for the next scheduled index job.
    1. searchctl folders list (to get the folder id)
    2. searchctl folders index --id xxxx --incremental
    3. Then watch the job
    4. searchctl jobs view --id xxxx (user the job name provided from the index command)
    5. Wait for the job to complete
    6. Search in the GUI using the quick report "Data Classification" See guide link 



Advantages of Data Classification

  1. Reduction in disk space vs full content indexing
  2. Faster producing of content to locate data based on pattern matching
  3. Supports more complex pattern matching and number aware matching syntax with regex

Tag aware Indexing process

  1. Tag aware processing allows dynamic tracking of files and determines if a file has been scanned against the tag classification filters. The system will determine if any new classification filters have been created and will determine if a file needs a rescan.
  2. Full scan or incremental jobs both enable dynamic classification tag detection to intelligently scan files that have not been scanned for a new classification filter.


How Classification and Tagging Works

  1. The classification uses regex to process all the text that is provided by the content indexing engine when a full or incremental folder scan runs with content ingestion enabled in classification mode.
  2. The text of each document is decoded and sent to the classification engine.
  3. The classification engine is configured with regex rules below to locate compliance data and apply a tag to the document in the index.
  4. The tag name is specified in the classification rule.
  5. A document can match more than one classification rule and will have more than one tag applied.
  6. The text of the document is not indexed or stored in the index which reduces the space needed in the index. NOTE: no key word searches will be possible unless full content indexing is enabled in addition to classification mode.
  7. Once a document is tagged you can use the classification option in advanced search or quick reports to narrow your search results to documents that match a specific tag.
  8. See example below, the list of tags will be available with the option to combine them with AND/OR search logic with multiple tags and can multi select tags.

Regex Syntax to Follow

  1. Regex engines can vary.   The rule set to follow is the Java regex engine.  This table shows syntax and escape characters to use.

Classification Use Cases

  1. New Search & Recover Deployment
    1. Index metadata and leverage content aware data classification without storing indexed content in the database. This option does not require expanding disk space to store classification tags. Disable full content index storage following steps here.
  2. Existing Deployment with Content Indexing Enabled
    1. In the initial release of 1.1.5 tags can not be applied unless data is re-indexed and stored in the database. The presence of a classification tag configuration will trigger the re-index process to force a full re-index of content to be scanned for tags and the file will be re-added to the index even if the file on disk has not changed since it was last indexed. This will take time to re-index. This requirement should be considered before using this feature.

How to enable Classification Tagging without Content Indexing

  1. Use this option to enable classification when full content indexing is not required. This option has no additional disk space requirements other than the metadata index sizing guidelines.
  2. Login to node 1
  3. nano /opt/superna/eca/eca-env-common.conf
  4. paste this to the file
  5. export ADD_CONTENT_TO_INDEX=false 
  6. control+x to save
  7. ecactl cluster down
  8. ecactl cluster up
  9. done


How to Configure a Classification Rule

  1. Each classification rule is added to a single file and evaluated against the text of each file processed for content and classification processing.

  2. Login to Search & Recover node 1 as ecaadmin

  3. searchctl CLI commands will be added to edit this file and live update the ingestion engine to start using the new rules file. The below information is information to validate your rules file.

  4. How to list classification rules

    1. searchctl classification list

  5. How to add a new classification rule

    1. searchctl classification add --name NAME --regex REGEX | [--regex-file /home/ecaadmin/regex.txt]

      1. --name - this is the name of the tag that will appear in the GUI when searching. Use single quotes at the beginning and end of the tag name. 

      2. --regex - this is the regex value used to match text for this tag. See examples in this guide or create your own regex matching string. Use single quotes at the beginning and end of the regex pattern.

      3. (optional) --regex-file  <path to file > This flag should be used for any complex regex with special characters that cannot be passed into the CLI command due to bash shell restrictions.  The regex in the file can use any special characters needed. 
    2. example

      1. searchctl classification add --name 'email' --regex '[\\w-\\.]+@([\\w-]+\\.)+[\\w-]{2,4}'

  6. How to modify an existing classification rule

    1. searchctl classification modify --name NAME --regex REGEX

    2. Enter an existing tag name and new regex value to replace the matching logic.

  7. How to remove a classification rule

    1. This command will start a job that searches the index for the files matching the tag and will place these files in a queue to re-index the files. This second re-index will no longer be tagged with the removed tag. This job can add a lot of files to be processed and will take time to remove them from the index. Once the command is executed the GUI will no longer display the tag for searching.

    2. searchctl classification remove --name NAME

      1. NOTE: A job is launched to submit all matching files to be re-indexed, this will re-read the content of these files and run match rules for all remaining tags. This can generate read bandwidth to re-process these files and re-read all files to retag the files based on remaining data classification rules.

  8. How to View the rules file

    1. cat /opt/superna/eca/data/classifiers.json

{

"email":"[\\w-\\.]+@([\\w-]+\\.)+[\\w-]{2,4}",

"phone":"(\\+\\d{1,2}\\s)?\\(?\\d{3}\\)?[\\s.-]\\d{3}[\\s.-]\\d{4}",

"ipv4":"(([0-9]|[1-9][0-9]|1[0-9]{2}|2[0-4][0-9]|25[0-5])\\.){3}([0-9]|[1-9][0-9]|1[0-9]{2}|2[0-4][0-9]|25[0-5])"

}

How to test a file with your Classification rules before production Role out

  1. This feature allow testing your classifiers easily with a single command
  2. Example:
    1. searchctl classifications test --isilon <cluster name> --path /ifs/data/search/filetotest.txt 
    2. Retrieves the file over the rest API.
    3. Tests the content of the file against all configured classifications
    4. Prints to the console which classifications matched and which string was found
    5. See example below that shows which tags matched and which strings in the file matched the regex

How to Use Test data and commands to use to Experiment with Data Classification

  1. Download test file data and Excel sheet inside the zip file.
  2. Unzip the file and copy the word documents to a test SMB share
  3. Configure indexing on this folder path
  4. Open the Excel file from the zip file named Regex Tag and Test File Map.xlsx
  5. Use column A to copy and paste any of the classification commands to your search appliance based on which classifications you want to test with.  Each row shows which files will match this classification tag.
  6. Start an index job on the test path.
  7. Login to the GUI and click on the quick reports tab.
  8. Run the "Classification  Report"
  9.  
  10. In the table below the graph you can select a tag and chose the show me the files option to locate the tagged files.

Common Compliance Standards Overview

Businesses are collecting and storing more and more individuals’ PII. As a result, various jurisdictions have passed legislation to limit the use, distribution, and accessibility of PII, while allowing companies who need it to manage the data safely. GDPR in the European Union, HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act ) and PCI DSS  (Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard) in the United States, along with state laws, other data breach laws, and other regulations control what defines PII. 

The most common compliance standards covered below provides background on the key requirements to locating and protecting data that falls into one of these categories.

PCI DSS Data

PCI DSS provides standards for the processes and systems that merchants and vendors use to protect information. This information includes: Cardholder data such as the cardholder's name, the primary account number, and the card's expiration date and security code.

PHI Data:

PHI is any health information that can be tied to an individual, which under HIPAA means protected health information includes one or more of the following 18 identifiers. If these identifiers are removed the information is considered de-identified protected health information, which is not subject to the restrictions of the HIPAA Privacy Rule.

  1. Names (Full or last name and initial)

  2. All geographical identifiers smaller than a state, except for the initial three digits of a zip code if, according to the current publicly available data from the U.S. Bureau of the Census: the geographic unit formed by combining all zip codes with the same three initial digits contains more than 20,000 people; and the initial three digits of a zip code for all such geographic units containing 20,000 or fewer people is changed to 000

  3. Dates (other than year) directly related to an individual

  4. Phone Numbers

  5. Fax numbers

  6. Email addresses

  7. Social Security numbers

  8. Medical record numbers

  9. Health insurance beneficiary numbers

  10. Account numbers

  11. Certificate/license numbers

  12. Vehicle identifiers (including serial numbers and license plate numbers)

  13. Device identifiers and serial numbers;

  14. Web Uniform Resource Locators (URLs)

  15. Internet Protocol (IP) address numbers

  16. Biometric identifiers, including finger, retinal and voice prints

  17. Full face photographic images and any comparable images

  18. Any other unique identifying number, characteristic, or code except the unique code assigned by the investigator to code the data

GDPR Data:

The data subjects are identifiable if they can be directly or indirectly identified, especially by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier or one of several special characteristics, which expresses the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, commercial, cultural or social identity of these natural persons. In practice, these also include all data which are or can be assigned to a person in any kind of way. For example, the telephone, credit card or personnel number of a person, account data, number plate, appearance, customer number or address are all personal data.

Classifying and Securing PII

PII and Sensitive PII Defined 

PII: NIST 800-122 defines PII (Personally Identifiable Information) as any information that permits the identity of an individual to be directly or indirectly inferred, including any other information that is linked or linkable to that individual, regardless of whether the individual is a U.S. citizen, legal permanent resident, visitor to the U.S., or employee or contractor to a government agency or corporation. 

Sensitive PII (SPII): According to the US Department of Homeland Security  Handbook for Safeguarding Sensitive PII is Personally Identifiable Information, which if lost, compromised, or disclosed without authorization, could result in substantial harm, embarrassment, inconvenience, or unfairness to an individual. Sensitive PII includes:

  • Social security numbers

  • Bank account numbers

  • Passport information

  • Healthcare related information

  • Medical insurance information

  • Student information

  • Credit and debit card numbers

  • Drivers license and State ID information

Security Classification Schema For PII

In order to comply with the various restrictions in place covering the security of PII at least three levels of security classifications are recommended: Public, Private and Restricted.

1. Public Data is PII data that is in the “public domain”, which includes data found in public records, public telephone directories, business directories, business cards, newspapers, social media platforms and websites. While anyone can access this data, access controls to prevent it’s unauthorized use is recommended. If an individual does not want the data disclosed it should be classified as Private Data. If it’s linkable to disassociated data such as name, address, social insurance, bank account, credit card and medical record data, it should be classified as Restricted Data.

2. Private Data is PII data an individual may not wish to disclose, such as date-of-birth, home address and phone number. Private data should be covered by a moderate level of protection. If it is linkable to disassociated data such as name, address, social insurance, bank account, credit card and medical record data. It should be classified as Restricted Data.

3. Restricted Data is sensitive PII (SPII), and is data which cannot obtain through legitimate means. Restricted data includes social insurance numbers, bank account, credit card details, medical information, etc. Restricted data should be covered by the highest level of security controls.

How to use RegEx Expressions to Locate Compliance Data

The following are Regex expressions that will help to identify data as defined by PII, CPI, PHI and GDPR standards. All of these expressions have been tested using a mock database containing data for Germany, France, Italy, Spain, UK, Canada and US. The mock data Included:

  1. Document Security Classification

  2. Name

  3. Address  (Street, City, State or Province)

  4. Postal Code

  5. Telephone

  6. Email

  7. Date of Birth

  8. Social Insurance Number

  9. Bank Account (Account Number, Routing Number, IBAN Number)

  10. Credit Card (number, CVV, Exp Date)

  11. Medical Record Number

  12. Blood Type, Height

Regex Expression Testing Tools

A regex is a string of text that allows you to create patterns that help match, locate, and manage text.

The https://regex101.com/ test site was used to test and validate all the following expressions:


Basic Regex Syntax for Most Scenarios

  1. The following regex examples can be used for most matching scenarios. Use these examples to build your own rules.
    1. Case insensitive matching
      1. (?i)xxxxx - Using (?i) and then a string will match the string regardless of case
    2. Combining key words with OR logic
      1. xxxx | yyyy - Using the pipe command will match string xxxx OR yyyy
    3. Combining key words with AND logic
      1. xxxx AND yyyy - using upper case AND command will match string xxxx AND yyyy
    4. Numeric range matching
      1. Example 1 - matching a single number between 0 to 9
        1. [0-9]
      2. Example 2 - Matching a 2 digit 10 to 99
        1. [1-9][0-9]
      3. Example 1 - matching - 0 to 255
        1. [0-9]|[1-9][0-9]|1[0-9][0-9]|2[0-4][0-9]|25[0-5].
      4. Examples of numerous number matching options
        1. 000..255: ^([01][0-9][0-9]|2[0-4][0-9]|25[0-5])$
        2. 0 or 000..255: ^([01]?[0-9]?[0-9]|2[0-4][0-9]|25[0-5])$
        3. 0 or 000..127: ^(0?[0-9]?[0-9]|1[01][0-9]|12[0-7])$
        4. 0..999: ^([0-9]|[1-9][0-9]|[1-9][0-9][0-9])$
        5. 000..999: ^[0-9]{3}$
        6. 0 or 000..999: ^[0-9]{1,3}$
        7. 1..999: ^([1-9]|[1-9][0-9]|[1-9][0-9][0-9])$
        8. 001..999: ^(00[1-9]|0[1-9][0-9]|[1-9][0-9][0-9])$
        9. 1 or 001..999: ^(0{0,2}[1-9]|0?[1-9][0-9]|[1-9][0-9][0-9])$
        10. 0 or 00..59: ^[0-5]?[0-9]$
        11. 0 or 000..366: ^([012]?[0-9]?[0-9]|3[0-5][0-9]|36[0-6])$


Tested RegEx Expressions

The following Classification Tags and RegEx expressions have been tested using ssh prompt. They contain the necessary escape characters to work with bash prompt over ssh and can be copied and pasted to the ssh session to set up a classification rule. The data base used to test these expressions contained words in German, French, Italian, Spanish and English. German, French and Spanish languages contain accented (i.e é, ë, ê, è, ñ) and or special characters (i.e. German language ß). The following tested RegEx's do not include accommodation for accented or special characters. In a database search using these expressions data up to a accented character will be shown, the accented character and any letters following will not be displayed.
