KEEPING DATABASES COMPLIANT WITH DATA PROTECTION REGULATIONS BY SENSING THE PRESENCE OF SENSITIVE DATA AND TRANSFERRING THE DATA TO COMPLIANT GEOGRAPHIES - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17519901 titled 'KEEPING DATABASES COMPLIANT WITH DATA PROTECTION REGULATIONS BY SENSING THE PRESENCE OF SENSITIVE DATA AND TRANSFERRING THE DATA TO COMPLIANT GEOGRAPHIES

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a system for ensuring that databases comply with data protection regulations. It involves sensing the presence of sensitive data and transferring it to compliant geographies. Here are the key points:

  • The system receives a request containing information intended for processing on a local database.
  • A model is used to analyze the information in the request.
  • If the model determines that the information is sensitive data, the request is transferred to a remote database located in a geography that meets the requirements for handling sensitive data.
  • This ensures that sensitive data is stored and processed in locations that comply with data protection regulations.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Ensuring compliance with data protection regulations in various industries such as healthcare, finance, and e-commerce.
  • Facilitating the secure transfer and storage of sensitive data across different geographic locations.
  • Enabling organizations to meet the requirements of data protection laws and regulations.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Ensures that sensitive data is handled in compliance with data protection regulations.
  • Helps organizations avoid penalties and legal issues related to mishandling of sensitive data.
  • Provides a systematic approach to managing sensitive data across different geographies.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Enhances data protection and privacy by securely transferring sensitive data to compliant geographies.
  • Simplifies compliance with data protection regulations by automating the process of identifying and transferring sensitive data.
  • Reduces the risk of data breaches and unauthorized access to sensitive information.


Original Abstract Submitted

Embodiments relate to keeping databases compliant with data protection regulations by sensing the presence of sensitive data and transferring the data to compliant geographies. A request including information is received, the request being intended for processing on a local database. A model is used to process the information of the request. Responsive to the model determining that information relates to sensitive data, the request is transferred to a remote database associated with a geography meeting a requirement for the sensitive data in order to execute the request.
