Partial risk score calculation for a data object

摘要

A method for calculating a partial risk score for a data object may include identifying a request to calculate a partial risk score for a data object, the request including a partial risk score filter, and the data object being associated with one or more policies. The method may further include for each policy associated with the data object, determining whether characteristics associated with the policy match a parameter in the partial risk score filter, and when the characteristics associated with the policy match information in the partial risk score filter, including a data object risk score associated with the policy in the partial risk score for the data object.

1. A computer-implemented method comprising:
determining one or more hazards for a data object, wherein each hazard represents a violation of a data loss prevention (DLP) policy by the data object, each hazard comprising a set of characteristics and a stored risk score calculated for the violation; identifying a request to calculate a partial risk score for the data object, wherein the request comprises a partial risk score filter; for each of the one or more hazards, performing partial risk score determination comprising:
determining whether a characteristic of the set of characteristics associated with the hazard matches a parameter in the partial risk score filter, andwhen the characteristic associated with the hazard matches the parameter in the partial risk score filter, adding a respective stored risk score to the partial risk score for the data object; and upon completing the partial risk score determination for the one or more hazards, providing the partial risk score in response to the request to a data loss prevention system to protect sensitive information associated with the data object from being exposed outside of a computer network.
