A method for calculating a risk score of a data object may include obtaining a severity level associated with a data object. The severity level may be calculated based on presence of confidential information in the data object. The data object may be a file or a folder. The severity level may be calculated using a data loss prevention policy. The method may further include obtaining metadata associated with the data object.
