Configure the severity for each data profile. Setting higher severity increases the effect a match of a particular Data Profile has on the data risk for a data asset. If an asset matches multiple data profiles, it will be assigned the highest matching severity for the Data Profile risk factor. The data profiles listed here included all Enterprise Data Loss Prevention (E-DLP) predefined and custom data profiles. All custom data profiles are assigned a default severity. You can apply the following severity levels:
  • Critical
  • High
  • Medium
  • Low
  • Very Low
  • None
If you have already configured the severity levels for different data profiles to custom values, you can Reset to Default to reapply the default severities.
