Data categorization is the process of dividing data into groups or categories based on common characteristics or attributes. This process helps organizations identify and classify their data assets according to sensitivity levels, data types, or other relevant criteria. Data categorization is a crucial step in data governance and security, as it enables organizations to apply appropriate access controls, retention policies, and protection measures to different categories of data.
