The correct answer is D. Detectors . In Forcepoint DSPM, detectors are scan-time classification components that can contribute to the broader AI Mesh , now represented in the UI as the Classification Model . Forcepoint describes the Classification Model as the mechanism that combines detection signals from keyword lists, regex patterns, machine-learning models, and topic classifiers into a pipeline that assigns classification tags such as Confidential , Internal , or Public . It also identifies Detector Groups as nodes that assess file paths and file contents using rule-based logic, including regular expressions and keywords.
This makes detectors the best answer among the listed options because they operate during scanning and feed classification outcomes. Forcepoint’s detector documentation states that content detectors analyze file content to detect and categorize documents, and further notes that when a detector group is selected, the detector becomes part of the AI Mesh and contributes to classification results.
The other choices are not the primary AI/ML scan-time component. Patterns are regular-expression rules. Data mapping defines Data Asset Inventory metadata fields. Compliance Hub manages governance policy artifacts, policy acceptance, reviews, and audit trail functions.
