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.
