# Getting Started

The how-to guides linked on this page illustrate how to integrate Redshift with Immuta.

**Requirement**: Redshift cluster with an RA3 node is required for the multi-database integration. For other instance types, you may configure a single-database integration using one of the [Redshift Spectrum options](/2024.2/data-and-integrations/redshift/how-to-guides/redshift-spectrum.md).

## Configure your Redshift integration

Configuring [a Redshift integration](/2024.2/data-and-integrations/redshift/reference-guides/redshift.md) is required for Secure. These guides provide information on the recommended feature to enable with Redshift.

1. [Configure your Redshift integration](/2024.2/data-and-integrations/redshift/how-to-guides/redshift.md) or [configure your Redshift Spectrum integration](/2024.2/data-and-integrations/redshift/how-to-guides/redshift-spectrum.md).
2. Select **None** as your [default subscription policy](/2024.2/application-settings/how-to-guides/config-builder-guide.md#manage-the-default-subscription-policy).
3. [Integrate an IAM with Immuta](/2024.2/people/getting-started.md).
4. [Map external user IDs from Redshift to Immuta](/2024.2/people/immuta-users/how-to-guides/external-user-mapping.md).

## [Discover your data](/2024.2/discover-your-data/discover-introduction.md)

**Private preview:** SDD for Redshift is currently in private preview and available to all accounts.
{% endhint %}

These guides provide step-by-step instructions for discovering, classifying, and tagging your data.

1. [Enable sensitive data discovery (SDD)](/2024.2/discover-your-data/data-discovery/how-to-guides/global-sdd.md).
2. [Register a subset of your tables](/2024.2/data-and-integrations/registering-metadata/register-data-sources/query-backed-tutorial.md) to configure and validate SDD.
3. [Configure SDD](/2024.2/discover-your-data/getting-started.md#configure-sdd-for-your-data) to discover entities of interest for your policy needs.
4. [Validate that the SDD tags are applied correctly](/2024.2/discover-your-data/data-discovery/how-to-guides/manage-sdd-tags.md#verify-discovered-tags).
5. Register your remaining tables at the [schema level](/2024.2/data-and-integrations/registering-metadata/register-data-sources/query-backed-tutorial.md#select-virtual-population) with [schema monitoring turned on](/2024.2/data-and-integrations/registering-metadata/register-data-sources/query-backed-tutorial.md#enable-or-disable-schema-monitoring).
6. [Implement classification to categorize and tag sensitive data](/2024.2/discover-your-data/getting-started.md#implement-classification).

## [Secure your data](/2024.2/secure-your-data/secure-introduction.md)

These guides provide step-by-step instructions for configuring and securing your data with governance policies, or see the [Secure use cases](/2024.2/secure-your-data/getting-started-with-secure.md) for a comprehensive guide on creating policies to fit your organization's use case.

1. [Create a global subscription policy](/2024.2/secure-your-data/authoring-policies-in-secure/section-contents/how-to-guides/subscription-policy-tutorial.md).
2. [Create a global data policy](/2024.2/secure-your-data/authoring-policies-in-secure/data-policies/how-to-guides/data-policy-tutorial.md).
3. Validate the policies. You do not have to validate every policy you create in Immuta; instead, examine a few to validate the behavior you expect to see.
4. Once all Immuta policies are in place, remove or alter old permissions and revoke access to the ungoverned tables.
