NAICS & SIC Dataset Licensing | Enterprise Classification Data
Nationwide NAICS & SIC Dataset Licensing provides enterprise teams with a structured classification layer designed for platform integration, location intelligence, portfolio segmentation, and reporting consistency. Licenses are scoped for your usage model (internal analytics, SaaS features, redistribution, or embedded workflows).
License types
Internal / Product / Embedded
Core systems
NAICS + SIC + Crosswalk
Documentation
Data dictionary included
Delivery
Files + refresh options
License options (scoped to your usage model)
Enterprise licensing is defined by how the dataset is used: internally, embedded into a product, or integrated into workflows that are exposed to customers.
Internal analytics license
Use the classification layer inside your organization for reporting, segmentation, and mapping.
- BI & dashboards
- Risk & compliance reporting
- Territory planning
Product & feature license
Embed SIC/NAICS classification into your platform experience (filters, categories, insights).
- Customer-facing industry filters
- Analytics features
- Exportable reports
Embedded workflow license
Use the dataset within automated pipelines and operational systems with repeatable refresh cycles.
- ETL ingestion
- Warehouse joins
- Scheduled refresh processes
Note: Licensing terms vary based on usage (internal vs product), coverage scope, and whether outputs are redistributed. Contact us for a licensing brief tailored to your deployment model.
What’s included in a licensing delivery
| Component | What it provides | Why enterprise teams use it |
|---|---|---|
| NAICS hierarchy fields | 2–6 digit structure and rollup relationships | Consistent reporting (sector → industry) |
| SIC hierarchy fields | 2–4 digit structure and rollup relationships | Legacy compatibility and trend continuity |
| Crosswalk support | NAICS ↔ SIC mapping for bridging systems | Migrations and harmonized analytics |
| Titles & labels | Industry titles and hierarchy paths | User-facing UI, filters, and explainability |
| Documentation package | Data dictionary + delivery notes | Governance, compliance, and enablement |
Common licensing packages
These packages represent the most common ways enterprise teams deploy the dataset. Final scope is confirmed during intake.
Package A: Classification layer (standards + hierarchy)
Best for platforms that already have location records but need a consistent industry taxonomy layer for UI and reporting.
- NAICS structure + titles
- SIC structure + titles
- Crosswalk reference
- Documentation + version notes
Package B: Overlay to your internal IDs
Best for enterprises that want SIC/NAICS classifications delivered as a join-ready layer keyed to internal IDs.
- Overlay file keyed to your IDs
- Industry fields + rollups
- Optional confidence tier field
- Refresh workflows available
Package C: Geographic density outputs
Best for mapping and market sizing. Pre-aggregated counts by geography and industry level.
- Counts by county / CBSA / ZIP (scope-based)
- Rollups by NAICS level (2–6)
- Segment-ready exports for BI/GIS
Package D: Audit-ready subsets (optional)
Best for high-stakes segments (underwriting, compliance, regulated programs) where evidence and review tiers matter.
- Verification workflow add-on
- Review tier labeling (scope-based)
- Documentation notes for audit trails
Usage rights (plain-language overview)
Licensing is scoped by use. Most engagements define:
- Internal use: data used within your organization for analysis, mapping, and reporting.
- Product use: data used to power customer-facing features (filters, categories, insights, reports).
- Redistribution/embedded: use cases where customers receive data extracts or the dataset is re-shipped as a component of your deliverables.
We’ll provide a licensing brief aligned to your deployment model (including any embedded or redistribution requirements).
Refresh cycles & change notes
Enterprise users often require repeatable refresh workflows and a governance-friendly way to understand changes over time.
- Refresh options: one-time delivery, scheduled refresh, or scope-based updates.
- Change notes: documentation that explains structural changes, field adjustments, and mapping updates when applicable.
- Version labeling: clear labeling for dataset versions to support internal governance and repeatable reporting.
Security & data governance
Enterprise deliveries can be structured to support internal governance, compliance reviews, and audit workflows.
- Field-level data dictionary: definitions and expected values.
- Scope statement: what is included, excluded, and assumed.
- Documentation-first approach: supports internal reviewers and downstream users.

FAQ
- What’s the difference between dataset licensing and “industry mapping”?
Licensing provides the dataset rights and delivery model. Industry mapping typically refers to applying the classification layer to location records (yours or a nationwide dataset) for GIS and analytics. See Enterprise Industry Data & Mapping. - Can we use the data in a customer-facing product?
Yes, many customers license SIC/NAICS structures for platform features such as filters, categories, insights, and reporting. Product use is scoped explicitly in the license. - Do you provide NAICS-to-SIC crosswalk support?
Yes. Crosswalk support can be included to help bridge legacy SIC reporting with NAICS-based analytics. - Do you provide a data dictionary?
Yes. Enterprise deliveries include field definitions and documentation notes so teams can deploy the dataset consistently. - How do refresh cycles work?
Refresh schedules depend on scope and your governance requirements. Options range from one-time delivery to scheduled refresh deliveries with version notes. - Is this intended for marketing lists?
Dataset licensing is intended for enterprise classification layers and mapping. If you need marketing lists, see Business Lists.
