Allow Netwrix Auditor to categorize custom taxonomy classified result

Please describe your idea in detail. What is your problem, why do you feel this idea is the best solution, etc.

In NA+NDC integration, a custom taxonomy was created to check of specific keywords (English + Chinese) inside files. The results in NDC is good, but NA cannot “read” the result and update into Data Discovery and Classifications Reports, because the classified files did not have category assigned and NA did not retrieve the classified file information for the reports.

How do you currently solve the challenges you have by not having this feature?

Separate two products to produce the reports required by customer. Report of files with specific keywords is prepared and sent to customer in NDC, while other reports (file/folder permission, filename/folder name with specific keywords, activities on files and folders) are generated in NA.

Thanks for the detailed write-up, this is a great example of an NA/NDC integration gap and I appreciate you laying out the workaround you’re using in the meantime.

Custom taxonomy results should be able to feed into NA’s Data Discovery and Classification reports the same way built-in taxonomies do. I’ve logged it so it’s tracked against our backlog. I can’t commit to a timeline right now since we’re heads down on other priorities, but it’s on our radar for future planning.

In the meantime, keep the split reporting approach you described, and feel free to add any additional context or upvote if others hit the same gap. That helps us prioritize.
