Business Advantage and Legislative Compliance
Those who create and have care and control of confidential information are required by norms of business and professional practice (and maybe legislation) to protect that information from unauthorized access. There may be a commercial or privacy requirement to be audit-ready regarding the use of those records:
- Privacy (or confidentiality) - Restrict the use of information to permitted and owner-beneficial purposes; carefully and proactively protect sensitive information from use not intended by the owner or rightsholder.
- Audit (or auditability) Track the various uses (display, print, &) of a record to make an audit possible; be prepared to answer "who, what, when" if required.
RightsVault technology is designed to be integrated with existing information systems to provide compliance with privacy legislation and/or organizational responsibility:
- Accountability Give accountable individuals a powerful technological tool for ensuring that only authorized users access private information, and for answering audit questions.
- Portability Integrate with the source information system simply and easily. Make almost no assumption about the system that will be used by the recipient of a protected record. The recipient should not need to have the source system, or any part of it. All software needed by a legitimate recipient should be automatically supplied as required.
