Manage data type scanning in data discovery

Sensitive Content Admins can enable or disable specific labels when configuring Data Discovery scans, helping tailor results to your organization's needs. For example, you can choose to focus only on GDPR labels. Once you disable or enable a label, scans are automatically updated to reflect the change. This gives Admins greater control over scan outputs and helps reduce noise from irrelevant findings. By default, all labels are enabled.

To manage data type scanning, perform the following steps:

✏️ To enable or disable labels for data discovery scanning, you must have the Sensitive Content Admin role. To request the Sensitive Content Admin role, contact your Company Admin.

1. Click your profile avatar, and then click Admin console.
2. On the left sidebar, click Enterprise Guard, and then click Data discovery.
3. On the Sensitive content detection tab, find the label you want to enable or disable. Use the Privacy-related, Business-sensitive, or Custom filter to narrow the list.
4. Click the vertical three dots on the row of the label, and then click Deactivate board scanning to disable it, or Activate board scanning to enable it.
   Updates can take up to 24 hours.

See Disable a label if the label you want to disable is currently used in a classification.
