Data Protection Measures

Definition: Architecture Decision Record from where you should specialise the ADR SBBs regarding the Data Protection Measures

Source: ISO/IEC/IEEE 42010:2022

Additional information: Data Protection Measures refer to the set of policies, procedures, and technologies that are implemented to safeguard sensitive information from unauthorized access, use, disclosure, disruption, modification, or destruction. These measures are designed to ensure the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of data, and to comply with regulatory requirements and industry standards. Examples of data protection measures include encryption, access controls, firewalls, intrusion detection and prevention systems, backup and recovery systems, and disaster recovery plans. The selection and implementation of data protection measures depend on the nature and sensitivity of the data, the risks and threats to the data, and the cost and feasibility of the measures.

Example: Data Protection Measures:
Decision: Implementing data encryption at rest and in transit to protect sensitive data.
Rationale: Data encryption helps safeguard sensitive information from unauthorized access, ensuring compliance with data protection regulations and industry best practices.

dct:title: Architecture Decision Record about Data Protection Measures

eira:adr_context: The context explains why we need to make a decision. It also describes the alternatives along with the pros and cons.

eira:adr_decision: The decision describes the justification for why the particular solution was accepted. It has more emphasis on the why rather than the how.

eira:adr_status: [Proposed (under review)|Accepted (approved and ready for implementation)|Superseded (superseded by another decision)]

eira:adr_consecuences: The consequences section contains information about the overall impact of an architectural decision. Every decision has trade-offs. That’s why it’s crucial to include the analysis to provide a clear picture.
