General Day-to-Day Work Pattern

This is a general approach for use of Privacera Encryption in conjunction with Privacera Discovery.

Prerequisites

• Make sure that Privacera Encryption has been installed and enabled.
• Make sure that you have defined data sources in Privacera Discovery.
• Generate encryption keys.
• Decide if you want to rely on Privacera Encryption's pre-defined schemes or you want to create your own custom schemes.

General Day-to-Day Workflow

This generalized workflow can help establish organizational mechanisms to incorporate encryption into a cycle of governing shared data. Adapt it to your own organization's needs.

• Run scans in Privacera Discovery to tag new data sources.

• Analyze the results of scans to determine exactly the fields you want encrypt.

• Determine encryption schemes to protect those fields.

• Re-evaluate the encryption by re-running the scans of those data sources.

• Repeat this process in daily operations as your organization's data expands.
