  • Publication number: 20230385440
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatuses embodied herein control and track access to secured data independent of the asset storing the secured data. In this regard, some embodiments organize volumes including one or more datasets and attach one or more assets to each volume. Some embodiments further receive data permissions of use information, for example from a data steward device, for the volume and datasets, which are registered with the volume and the datasets. Some embodiments further receive a set of restrictions, retrieve the dataset permissions of use information for one or more dataset identifiers, and determine the restrictions do not conflict with the dataset permissions of use information. Some embodiments further generate, and subsequently store, an indication the set of restrictions is valid when the dataset permissions of use information does not conflict. Permissions of use information may be organized into persona data objects assigned to various user profiles.

  • Publication number: 20230289386
    Abstract: Embodiments provide for predicted data use obligation matching using data differentiators. Example embodiments retrieve a cross-link relationship graph structure from a data repository, where the cross-link relationship graph structure includes a plurality of cross-link relationship graph nodes connected by a plurality of cross-link relationship graph edges. Each cross-link relationship graph node is associated with a unique logical data record set identifier of a plurality of logical data record set identifiers associated with a dataset identifier. For each unique logical data record set identifier, the cross-link relationship graph structure is traversed. Based at least in part on a separation measure associated with each cross-link relationship of one or more cross-link relationships associated with the unique logical data record set identifier, one or more data use obligation scores for the unique logical data record set identifier is generated.

  • Patent number: 11734351
    Abstract: Embodiments provide for predicted data use obligation matching using data differentiators. Embodiments retrieve one or more logical data record set identifiers associated with an intended use request. For each unique logical data record set identifier of the one or more logical data record set identifiers, a cross-link relationship graph structure comprising a plurality of cross-link relationship graph nodes and a plurality of cross-link relationship graph edges is traversed. Based at least in part on a separation measure associated with each cross-link relationship of one or more cross-link relationships associated with the unique logical data record set identifier, one or more data use obligation scores are generated for the unique logical data record set identifier.

  • Patent number: 11062043
    Abstract: There is a need for solutions that perform entity sensitivity classification for a database entity associated with plurality of database elements. This need can be addressed by, for example, for each database element, generating element tokens for the database element based on a textual identifier for the database element, generating token combinations for the database element based on the element tokens for the database element and a token order associated with the textual identifier, generating a token-combination document for the database element based on the token combinations for the database element, and generating element feature data for the database element based on the token-combination document for the database element, and determining the entity sensitivity classification on each element feature data associated with a database element of the plurality of database elements and using a sensitivity classification model.
