Automatic creations of tags and rules based on folders

Major new feature in Confidential 1.3.1: using this feature you can select a group of folder, one tag per folder will be created and all the content of each folder will be tag with each correspondent tag. This saves you from the burden of having to create tags manually, for your existing folder structure.

You can optionally also create auto-tagging rules on those

Recursively tag a folder and create and auto-tagging rule in 7 clicks

Dear tagging aficionados,

One of the first issues we faced when developing Confidential was how can we quickly tag data, based on the user’s existing folder structure?

Open Bookmarks in Chrome

Our Windows 10 users reported they open a bookmark in Confidential, the bookmark is opened in Internet Explorer (or Firefox) even if the default browser is Chrome.

We investigated the matter and we realized that in Windows 10 the setting for default browser is managed differently then in Windows 8 and previous. We’ll implement the changes soon. Until

Run Confidential Database Server on Linux

Many people asked us if  the Confidential database can run on MySQL, the reason being that that most people have Linux servers and are typically running MySQL databases.

Confidential needs a Microsoft SQL Server to run, as most of its logic is written using Microsoft SQL Server stored procedures. But Microsoft comes to help: since February 2018, Microsoft SQL Server is available for several Linux distribution (at this point Ubuntu 16.04,

Detect sensitive information in files: GDPR compliance for unstructured data

Data mine your drives for sensitive data

In Confidential 1.2.31 we combined the search based on regular expressions, with the search in file content that we introduced in Confidential 1.2. So basically you can now tell Confidential to “scrape my disks and auto-tag everything that looks like credit number, an email address, invoice number, a name from a list or anything that can be describe by a regular

Auto-tagging based on file content is out!

We’ve releasing is an extension of the auto-tagging rules that will allow you to search “inside” a file ( search the content of a file or document) and tag the file automatically based on what’s inside it. To achieve we’re using the awesome .net port of the Tika library, the full list of files we can extract text from is here.

The next feature we’ll release (in a couple
