Last updated
Swarm's Data Privacy Framework ensures comprehensive protection and compliance for sensitive data throughout its lifecycle. The framework integrates privacy-by-design principles into its architecture, focusing on classification, enforcement, and monitoring.
Core Components and Functions
Data Classification:
Purpose: Categorize data based on sensitivity and regulatory requirements.
Implementation:
Automated Scanning: Uses AI-powered tools to identify and classify sensitive data across the platform.
Policy Assignment: Dynamically assigns appropriate privacy policies based on classification results.
Privacy Enforcement:
Purpose: Enforce privacy policies to safeguard classified data.
Implementation:
Access Control: Employs Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) and Attribute-Based Access Control (ABAC) to restrict data access to authorized users and processes.
Encryption: Ensures that all sensitive data is encrypted:
At-Rest: Secured with AES-256-GCM encryption.
In-Transit: Protected using TLS 1.3 within the Mesh VPN.
In-Use: Shielded with secure enclaves (Intel SGX/AMD SEV).
Privacy Monitoring:
Purpose: Continuously track and validate adherence to privacy policies and detect violations.
Implementation:
Audit Logging: Maintains detailed logs of data access and usage for traceability and forensic analysis.
Compliance Checking: Automated checks ensure adherence to data privacy regulations (e.g., GDPR, CCPA).
Real-Time Monitoring: Detects anomalies or unauthorized access attempts to sensitive data.
Key Benefits
Data Protection: Ensures confidentiality, integrity, and availability of sensitive data across all states (in-transit, at-rest, and in-use).
Regulatory Compliance: Streamlines adherence to global privacy regulations with automated classification and compliance checking.
Transparency and Accountability: Audit logging and monitoring provide visibility into data handling practices, fostering trust with users and stakeholders.
Scalability: The framework dynamically adapts to diverse workloads and evolving privacy requirements.
Swarm’s Privacy Architecture delivers a robust, automated, and compliant solution for data privacy, empowering organizations to manage sensitive workloads securely and responsibly.
