Two lines, in a strict order. Survey first: anything regulated or proprietary is located across endpoints and the shares behind them, and each machine collects a figure. Rule second: encryption over whatever turned up, plus a written list naming the channels cleared to carry it.
Data policy usually collapses at step one, and step one is not drafting the rule. It is knowing what the rule would land on. Endpoints, and the shares sitting behind them, get read for personal information and for card numbers. Each machine is then scored, and a vague unease becomes a table carrying numbers.
Numbers are what make the job finite. You start at the worst machine and work downward, rather than attempting an entire estate simultaneously and abandoning the attempt in the third week.
Encryption goes over the material discovery identified. Several compliance profiles can run at once, because a folder of drawings and a folder of payroll do not warrant the same handling and pretending they do produces a rule everybody circumvents.
Which applications may move data outward is named by channel control. That list is short, it is written, and it is read through with you before taking effect, displacing an arrangement which usually amounts to whatever happens to be installed.
Every figure below is taken from billing as this page loads. Whatever goes onto the tray remains there while you read on.
Survey before rule. Endpoints get read, along with the shares behind them, for personal information and for card numbers, and every machine collects a figure of its own. Anything still unlocated cannot be governed, only worried about.

Survey converted into rule. What discovery located gets encrypted, compliance profiles get applied, and whichever applications may carry data outward get named on paper, not left to whatever people happened to install.

No bench in this catalog draws more overclaiming than this one does, which makes the boundary worth printing plainly.
