Overview of Connectors

Privacera provides a comprehensive data governance and security solution designed to simplify and streamline the management of data privacy, security, and compliance. The platform offers three key types of connectors:

  1. Access Connectors – Enforce fine-grained access control across diverse data sources from a central platform.
  2. Discovery Connectors – Automatically scan and classify sensitive data to support governance and compliance.
  3. Encryption Connectors – Protect sensitive data through seamless, policy-driven encryption at rest and in transit.

Connector Types

1. Access Connectors

Key Features

  1. Seamless Integration: Supports a variety of data sources across major cloud providers, on-premises systems, and big data platforms, ensuring compatibility with diverse data environments.

  2. Centralized Policy Management: Allows organizations to manage access policies from a single location, simplifying enforcement of governance rules and enhancing regulatory compliance.

  3. Real-time Monitoring and Auditing: Offers real-time visibility into data access and usage, enabling anomaly detection and generation of audit reports to meet compliance standards.

  4. Scalability and Performance: Built to support large-scale data environments, ensuring high performance and reliability for enterprise deployments.

Benefits

  • Enhanced Security: Enforces consistent security policies across all data sources, reducing the risk of unauthorized access.
  • Simplified Compliance: Centralized policy management and auditing capabilities help meet regulatory requirements efficiently.
  • Operational Efficiency: Automates policy enforcement, reducing manual overhead and allowing teams to focus on strategic initiatives.

2. Discovery Connectors

Key Features

  1. Comprehensive Data Discovery: Automatically scans and identifies sensitive data across databases, data lakes, and cloud storage.

  2. Classification and Tagging: Categorizes sensitive data into predefined classifications and applies tags for simplified management and policy enforcement.

  3. Policy-Driven Discovery: Supports the creation of custom discovery policies aligned with organizational compliance and governance requirements.

Benefits

  • Improved Data Visibility: Offers a complete view of where sensitive data resides across the organization.
  • Better Compliance: Ensures all sensitive data is identified and governed, aiding regulatory compliance.
  • Automation Efficiency: Reduces manual discovery effort and potential human error through automation.

3. Encryption Connectors

Key Features

  1. End-to-End Data Encryption: Encrypts data both at rest and in transit to protect against unauthorized access.

  2. Key Management Integration: Works with key management systems (KMS) to securely manage encryption keys.

  3. Granular Encryption Policies: Enables detailed policies specifying which data should be encrypted and under what conditions.

  4. Transparent Encryption: Requires no changes to existing applications, minimizing disruption to operations.

Benefits

  • Data Protection: Strong encryption safeguards sensitive information from breaches and unauthorized access.
  • Compliance Support: Facilitates adherence to data protection regulations through secure encryption practices.
  • Seamless Deployment: Integrates with existing infrastructure, enabling encryption without major workflow changes.
