Abstract
Methods, systems, and computer storage media for providing data security posture management using a sensitive data reclassification engine in a security management system. Data security posture management provides security operations—including identifying and remediating risk exposure—to securely manage data, resources, and workloads. In operation, sensitive data scan results are accessed. A scanned data item having a first data sensitivity confidence score—and a first data classification that indicates that the scanned data item is a potentially sensitive data item—is identified in the sensitive data scan results. Based on the scanned data item having the first data classification, scanned metadata comprising a sensitive data attribute is accessed. Based on a second data sensitivity confidence score associated with the sensitive data attribute and the scanned data item, the first data classification is replaced with a second data classification that indicates that the scanned data item is a sensitive data item.
