Tracking sensitive data is very important for both personal data protection and data misuse cases, and in big data environments, tracking sensitive data is quite difficult. Therefore, a tool is needed to ensure tracking of sensitive data. Data Touch (DT) is a tool that integrates with applications that collect and host data and combines information to give privilege to data.
Data Touch enables you to perceive your data with a wide range of analysis options. It helps you make data-driven decisions much more intelligently while securing your data security and privacy concerns. DT focuses on two main issues: sensitive data monitoring and data usage.
Features:
Visualization: Shows all projects in the same environment (from Discovery) with detailed information on purpose-built charts. Sorts projects by size and graphs classified data (sensitive and non-sensitive), sensitive types, and who accessed the data on the dashboard.
Data usage: Shows details of projects (scanned by Discovery), consumers (who accessed the data), how and when they accessed it. These details can be filtered by entering a date range. Filtered tables can be exported and reported on with Excel Export.
Data Analysis: Shows the details of queries for the project in three ways.
Query details,
The inquiries made,
Queries for sensitive types.
Data Heatmaps: Creates different heatmaps with predefined options for more detailed analysis of any data within the application.
Table Query Count Heatmap: Shows the total number of queries for each table on a given date.
Application Count Heatmap: Shows the total number of queries accessing each table from each application.
Table Action Type Count Heatmap: Shows the total number of queries by action type (select, update, delete, etc.) for each table.
Sensitive Type Time Heatmap: Shows the total number of queries within the selected time period for each sensitive type.
Data Touch provides a privileged data inventory by tracking all usage of data held in organizations’ data warehouses by detecting applications that touch data. Using this detailed information and many data analyses provided by Data Touch, organizations can better manage data, optimize access and usage of data, reduce their carbon footprint, save data storage space by eliminating unnecessary data, increase business efficiency and reduce total costs. Data Touch also offers solutions for protecting personal sensitive data, which can be the biggest concern of organizations. Thus, they can take more security measures for their applications and data.
