# Data Classification (premium)
Data classification helps identify sensitive or regulated data stored internally or exposed external sharing.
DoControl scans eligible **Google Drive** assets that are shared externally or publicly, classifies detected content using the DoControl classification engine, and adds the results to the Google Drive inventory. Use classification results to filter exposed assets, review sensitive data exposure, and apply remediation actions.
{% hint style="info" %}
Data Classification is available for Google Drive only in this release.
{% endhint %}
### What is data classification
Data classification adds content-level context to Google Drive exposure.
DoControl scans eligible Google Drive assets and detects:
* Classification categories
* Compliance tags
* Classifier matches
* Match probability: Low, Medium, or High
Classification results appear in the Google Drive inventory, so you can understand which exposed assets contain sensitive or regulated data and prioritize remediation.
### What DoControl scans
DoControl scans a limited population of Google Drive assets that are:
* Shared externally
* Shared publicly with anyone with the link
* Published publicly on the web
After Data Classification is enabled and periodic scanning is allowed, DoControl scans a limited population of assets. DoControl scans recently edited assets on a recurring basis that match the same public or external sharing criteria.
#### Supported assets
* Google Drive assets under 10MB
* Files and images
#### Assets not scanned
* Videos
* Assets over 10MB
* Assets that cannot be exported through the Google Drive API, such as Google Forms and Google Drawings
Assets that are not scanned show **N/A** in the classification status.
### Where classification results appear
To view classification results, go to **Inventory > Assets > Google Drive > Inventory table**.
After an asset is scanned, classification data appears in the Google Drive inventory colum called **Classification**.
Long match lists are shortened in the table. Hover or open the asset details to review the full match list.
### Filter classified assets
Use classification filters to find exposed assets that match a specific sensitivity or compliance profile.
Available filters:
* Classification category
* Compliance tags
* Classifier name
* Probability
Filtering helps you focus on high-priority exposure, such as publicly shared assets with sensitive matches or externally shared assets with compliance tags.
### Remediate classified assets
Classification filters can be used with Google Drive remediation actions.
To remediate classified assets:
1. Go to **Inventory > Assets > Google Drive**.
2. Filter assets by classification category, compliance tag, classifier name, or probability.
3. Review the filtered asset list.
4. Select the assets you want to remediate.
5. Apply an available Google Drive remediation action.
DoControl applies the remediation action to the selected assets that match your filters.
Classification-related Google Drive export and download activity does not trigger DoControl workflows or alerts.
Data refreshes every 24 hours for recently edited public or externally shared assets.
### Enable data classification
{% hint style="info" %}
Data Classification is a Premium capability.
To enable Data Classification or request a scanning sample, contact DoControl Support or your Customer Success Manager. They will help enable the capability for your account and guide the next steps.
{% endhint %}
To enable Data Classification for Google Drive:
1. Contact DoControl Customer Success to enable Data Classification for your account.
2. Go to your account settings.
3. Allow periodic scanning.
4. Go to **Inventory > Assets > Google Drive**.
5. Review classification results after the first scan is complete.
DoControl scans all public and externally shared assets after the capability is enabled. After the initial scan, DoControl scans recently edited public or externally shared assets every 24 hours.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:
```
GET https://docs.docontrol.io/docontrol-user-guide/risk-management/data-classification-premium.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
