MULTIPLE-KEY FEATURE TOGGLES FOR COMPLIANCE

摘要

A cloud service system may activate features or functionality based on agreement of at least two parties such as a system administrator and a compliance officer to mitigate compliance, security, or privacy impact on the service. The controllers may make the “enable feature” decision independently, but still have equal say in the outcome. In some examples, pre-established profiles may be provided to a controller such as a compliance officer to make decisions by selection on his/her behalf at a particular level of risk acceptance and/or to meet a particular regulatory standard/certification.

主权项

1. A method executed on a computing device to provide multiple-key feature toggling for compliance in a service, the method comprising:
determining a feature of the service with controlled activation; receiving a first input from a first controller for activation of the feature; receiving a second input from a second controller for the activation of the feature; and rendering a decision on the activation of the feature based on the first input and the second input.
