Data Security Finding [2006] Class

Findings Category

A Data Security Finding describes detections or alerts generated by various data security products such as Data Loss Prevention (DLP), Data Classification, Secrets Management, Digital Rights Management (DRM), Data Security Posture Management (DSPM), and similar tools. These detections or alerts can be created using fingerprinting, statistical analysis, machine learning or other methodologies. The finding describes the actors and endpoints who accessed or own the sensitive data, as well as the resources which store the sensitive data.
Name Caption Group Requirement Type Description
action Action primary Optional String The normalized caption of action_id.
This is the string sibling of enum attribute action_id.
action_id Action ID primary Required Integer The action taken by a control or other policy-based system leading to an outcome or disposition. Dispositions conform to an action of 1 'Allowed' or 2 'Denied' in most cases. Note that 99 'Other' is not an option. No action would equate to 1 'Allowed'. An unknown action may still correspond to a known disposition. Refer to disposition_id for the outcome of the action.
0Unknown
The action was unknown. The disposition_id attribute may still be set to a non-unknown value, for example 'Count', 'Uncorrected', 'Isolated', 'Quarantined' or 'Exonerated'.
1Allowed
The activity was allowed. The disposition_id attribute should be set to a value that conforms to this action, for example 'Allowed', 'Approved', 'Delayed', 'No Action', 'Count' etc.
2Denied
The attempted activity was denied. The disposition_id attribute should be set to a value that conforms to this action, for example 'Blocked', 'Rejected', 'Quarantined', 'Isolated', 'Dropped', 'Access Revoked, etc.
