Smarter Data Governance with Compliance for Confluence: Automation Rules

[#1]

We’re thrilled to introduce Automation Rules, a game-changing feature that enhances data governance in Confluence by automatically taking action whenever sensitive data is detected.

This feature is part of the Compliance for Confluence app by AppFox and helps organizations improve security and compliance effortlessly.

Why Automation Rules Are Essential

Managing sensitive information effectively is a key priority for many organizations. With Automation Rules, you can proactively enforce data protection policies, reduce risks, and maintain compliance - without relying on manual processes.

How It Works

When sensitive data appears in your Confluence instance, Automation Rules trigger predefined actions to handle it efficiently. Available automation options include:

✅ CLASSIFY - Automatically assign a classification level (and optionally a sub-level) to pages for better oversight and control.
✅ LABEL - Add a custom Confluence label to a page, making it easier to track and categorize content.
✅ EMAIL - Notify users or groups via email when sensitive data is detected, ensuring timely awareness and response.
✅ REDACT - Conceal or remove sensitive information, with the option to delete the page version that contained it.

Rule Schemes for Greater Flexibility

Rule Schemes offer an extra layer of control over how Automation Rules are implemented across Confluence. They are particularly valuable when different teams or departments have unique data governance needs that a single, organization-wide rule cannot accommodate.

For instance, while your company may have a rule to restrict access to sensitive data like National Insurance Numbers, your Human Resources team may require access to this information in their Confluence space. With Rule Schemes, you can apply different automation rules where they are needed most.

Rule Schemes can be applied in two ways:

• Globally - Enforce rules across your entire Confluence instance.

• Per Space - Customize rules for individual Confluence spaces, giving teams the flexibility to manage data according to their specific requirements.
