Concepts

• Actions

  An action is something that occurs after a DLP job completes successfully.

• Image inspection and redaction

  Cloud DLP can inspect for and redact sensitive content that exists within images.

• InfoTypes and infoType detectors

  Learn about the different types of sensitive data that Cloud DLP searches for.

• Job triggers

  A job trigger is an event that automates the creation of DLP jobs to scan Google Cloud storage repositories.

• Match likelihood

  Cloud DLP measures how likely it is that a text string is a piece of sensitive information.

• Redaction and de-identification

  Cloud DLP can redact and de-identify sensitive information in your text strings, images, and structured content.

• Date shifting

  Date shifting techniques randomly shift a set of dates to obscure the actual month and day but preserve the sequence and duration.

• Generalization and bucketing

  Generalization and bucketing take a highly distinguishing value and transforms it into a more general or less distinguishing value.

• Pseudonymization

  Cloud DLP provides pseudonymization capabilities.

• Text classification and redaction

  Cloud DLP can inspect for and redact sensitive content that exists within text strings.

• Risk analysis

  Risk analysis is the process of analyzing sensitive data to find properties that might increase the risk of subjects being identified.

• Templates

  You can use templates to create and persist configuration information to use with Cloud DLP.
