Best Practices

Use these practices to keep DSPM Discovery results accurate and actionable across Explorer, Data, and Datastore.

  • Connect every in scope repository before relying on posture summaries so counts stay complete.
  • Align labels with policy priorities so Explorer groupings and Data filters match how you triage risk.
  • Filter by sensitivity first, then pivot to provenance or pattern labels to narrow investigations quickly.
  • Review datastore object counts and label coverage after each connector change to confirm scanning works.
  • Use Test and tune in Labels to refine definitions before expecting clean results in Discovery pages.
  • Save screenshots or exports from Visual Analytics when you need to share findings until page level exports are available.
  • Run regular posture reviews to track changes after rescans or label updates.
