Manual & automatic classification
Users pick a label, or content rules suggest one: national ID, IBAN and card-number validators, regex patterns and trainable, ML-assisted suggestions.
Product
Ada Classification
Data classification for Microsoft 365 and beyond
Ada Classification is an end-to-end data classification solution: add-ins that run inside Word, Excel, PowerPoint and Outlook, an agent for file servers, and a central management console. Labels are written as Microsoft Purview/MIP-compatible metadata.
Features
From classification to enforcement, in one product
Purview/MIP-compatible labels
Labels are written and read as standard MSIP metadata. Microsoft 365 apps and your existing DLP stack recognize them directly.
Office add-ins
Task panes for Word, Excel and PowerPoint; labeling while composing in Outlook, with on-send enforcement: unlabeled or mismatched email cannot be sent.
File system agent
Scans and labels docx, xlsx and pptx files directly on disk — no Office installation required. Folder watching, reporting and auto-remediation modes.
Signed policy distribution
Policies are distributed centrally with Ed25519 signatures; clients reject any policy whose signature does not verify. Publish from the console in one click.
Tamper-evident audit trail
Every classification event is collected as hash-chained records. An offline queue makes sure nothing is lost when connectivity drops.
Use Cases
What it solves in the field
KVKK & GDPR compliance
Detect and label documents containing personal data, and back your processing inventory with audit records.
Preventing email data leaks
Email carrying confidential content is stopped at send time; users cannot send without labeling.
Labeling legacy file shares
Scan file shares that have grown for years with the agent; classify your existing archive without opening Office.
Preparing for a DLP rollout
Build the consistent label foundation your DLP investment needs to make accurate decisions.
