  • Patent number: 10848501
    Abstract: Real time pivoting on data to model governance properties is provided. A data explorer module of a security and compliance service may analyze data, metadata, and activities associated with a tenant or a hosted service to understand the data, identify uncategorized data, and determine applicable policies and/or remediation actions in case of sensitive data that may need protection. The data may be stored and managed by a data insights platform which may enable query-based analyses on correlated, multi-stage evaluated data. Thus, the data may be analyzed, additionally, considering metadata, activities associated with the data, etc. In addition to the data, metadata, and activities, the data explorer module may receive information associated with existing classifications, properties, access, and applied policies. Upon evaluation of the data based on the received/stored factors, the data explores module may identify the data and determine applicable policies or actions.

  • Publication number: 20190347734
    Abstract: A system and method of creating and managing a new index or index fund for investors. The new index is created by cross referencing the holdings information of an exchange-traded fund (ETF). The ETF has the constituents or index holdings information of a benchmark index or a liquid subset of the benchmark index, either of which may be thought of as an initial benchmark index. The initial benchmark index is passively tracked by the ETF. In some implementations of systems providing the new index, futures contracts and/or options on futures contracts are settled by reference to the index levels of the new index, and these futures contracts and/or options may be labeled exchange-traded derivatives.
