Ontology Mapping for Cross-Border Data Compliance Visualization
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
There is a need for improved systems and methods to manage personal data in compliance with privacy and security policies, as frequent breaches and varying jurisdictional requirements pose challenges for organizations and individuals in protecting sensitive information.
Innovation Solution
A method and system that generate a graphical user interface to present personal data management documentation requirements, allowing users to navigate and retrieve relevant datasets through an ontology, and generate reports for regulatory compliance, facilitating compliance with diverse jurisdictional and sectoral regulations.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If organizations implement operational policies and processes to comply with legal and industry requirements for personal data management, then privacy and security compliance is improved, but system complexity and operational burden increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments personal data management requirements by jurisdiction and sector, organizing complex regulatory obligations into discrete, manageable units. Each jurisdiction-specific requirement module can be independently configured and assessed, breaking down the overwhelming complexity of global compliance into structured segments that can be addressed systematically.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent creates a universal assessment framework that can evaluate compliance across multiple jurisdictions and sectors simultaneously. The system uses a common core assessment structure that adapts to different regulatory environments, allowing organizations to manage diverse compliance requirements through a single multi-functional platform rather than separate systems for each jurisdiction.
2Adaptability or versatility
If organizations attempt to manage personal data across multiple jurisdictions with different requirements, then compliance coverage is improved, but operational difficulty and time consumption increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a dynamic compliance assessment system that automatically adapts to different jurisdictions and sectors. The framework dynamically configures assessment criteria, data elements, and evaluation methods based on the selected jurisdiction and sector, allowing the system to flexibly respond to varying regulatory requirements without requiring manual reconfiguration for each environment.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces an intermediary assessment framework that mediates between diverse jurisdictional requirements and organizational data practices. This intermediary layer translates various regulatory languages and requirements into a unified assessment structure, simplifying the operational burden by providing a consistent interface for managing compliance across multiple jurisdictions.
3Reliability
If detailed personal data management documentation is collected and maintained, then regulatory compliance capability is improved, but data management complexity and storage requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts and identifies only the specific personal data elements and documentation actually required for compliance with applicable jurisdictional and sectoral requirements. Rather than collecting and maintaining all possible documentation, the system extracts precisely what is needed based on the organization's operational context, reducing documentation volume while maintaining compliance capability.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the parameters of documentation management by organizing data according to jurisdiction-specific and sector-specific criteria rather than traditional organizational structures. This parameter change allows for more efficient data retrieval and validation, reducing the effective volume of documentation that must be actively managed while maintaining comprehensive compliance coverage.
Data Source
AI summary
The disclosed systems facilitate collection and management of personal data management documentation requirements and associated data. A master questionnaire is used to solicit information regarding documentation requirements for several contexts in a single interaction and responsive data can be mapped to questionnaires and/or datasets for particular contexts, such as jurisdictions and business sectors. The system can generate graphical user interfaces for presenting the documentation requirement data for a particular context by generating an interface with navigational elements for various contexts, detecting browser state data indicating user manipulation of one or more such elements, and generating a subsequent graphical user interface based on the browser context data. The system configures the subsequent interface to present the requested information in display elements and instructs the browser presenting the subsequent interface to retrieve the requested information using an ontology mapping the requested information to a master dataset.
