Secure Online Data Repository is a large database infrastructure that maintains, collects and stores data sets for analysis and reporting purposes. It uses metadata as well as standard schemas and structured methods of organization to make it easy to locate information. It also stores data from multiple sources in a single location for better integration.
A centralized system permits uniform management practices and conformity to the requirements of regulatory agencies. For instance it is able to control the length of time data is required to be kept for or how they should be securely and safely disposed. Data repositories generally have strong access control methods, including granular permissions that limit authorized users to specific segments of data which makes it more difficult for hackers to attack individual data points. They also may have tools that track data access patterns, making it easier to identify suspicious activities.
Improved Data Quality: Many repositories have features for cleansing data and quality assurance, which improves the reliability of business intelligence and analytics efforts. This approach can lead to redundant storage that increases costs and may make it difficult to move data.
Security Data repositories are a prime targets for cyber-attacks and this makes the implementation of robust security measures vital. They also maintain regular backups in addition to strict access control.
A well-constructed repository can support your company’s goals in analytics and business intelligence while securing sensitive information from unauthorized access and helping you comply with regulations such as GDPR. Lepide Data Security Platform allows you to scan repositories and detect sensitive data. It then automatically classifies the data once it is detected and allows you to establish access control rules.
