All entities within t he elements of the US Intelligence Community (IC) operate under s pecific documented legal authorities rooted in applicable laws, Executive O rders, and IC Directives. These artifacts define IC Agencies Functional Aut horities, and at what capacity each Agency acquires, protects, retains, and disseminate data. They also provide means to articulate data retention gui delines, data access controls, consistent data protections guidelines, and data sharing and dissemination.
\nAs the IC moves most of the mission data it collects, analyze, and stores into a classified cloud-computing en vironment, it is necessary to formalize and define data governance framewor ks, and standards to enforce the implementation of data-centric tags associ ated with high-level policies and obligations. As these frameworks get impl emented, the need to streamline data access controls guidelines for data be ing accessed to/from the cloud environment becomes relevant, ensuring that all data in the cloud environment is handled and accessed in a legally and compliant matter.
\nThis presentation highlights how the IC successfu lly addressed these challenges by means of establishing Policy-Centric Data Entitlement frameworks. This scalable approach allows:
\n\n Assessing appropriate data access controls\n Measuring effectiveness on how data is being share with IC Stakeholders\n Analyzing how efficiently data access controls are being implemented\n Implementing policy-compliant dataflows\n Controlling data access based on pre-defined selection criteria\n Designing policy-compliant dataflow templates\n Verifying implementation of data entitlements\n\n\n DTSTART:20190321T083000 SUMMARY:Enabling Data Stewardship via Policy-Centric Data Entitlement Frame works DTEND:20190321T092959 LOCATION: See Description END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
