R-GRAPH PROPAGATION OF DATA PROTECTION AND COMPLIANCE STATUSES
A method for assessing data resilience status of a data processing environment that includes generating a model of data processing resources within the environment, generating a data resilience-graph (R-graph) based the model, the R-graph including an object for each resource. The object for each resource further includes at least a compliance attributed and a criticality attribute. The method may then display a domain-specific view by applying compliance and criticality rules to the objects in the R-graph.
1 . A method for assessing data resilience status of a data processing environment comprising:
generating a model of data processing resources within the data processing environment;
generating a data resilience-graph (R-graph) based the model, the R-graph including an object for each resource, the object for each resource further including at least a compliance attribute and a criticality attribute; and
applying compliance and criticality rules to the objects in the R-graph; and displaying a domain-specific view of the R-graph.
2 . The method of claim 1 additionally wherein
the R-graph consists of a hierarchy of objects, and the domain-specific view is further generated by applying inheritance attributes of the compliance and criticality rules to the hierarchy of objects.
3 . The method of claim 2 wherein the domain-specific view is for an entire enterprise, a department within the enterprise, an application, or a service.
4 . An apparatus for assessing compliance status of a data processing environment comprising:
one or more data processors; and
one or more computer readable media including instructions that, when executed by the one or more data processors, cause the one or more data processors to perform a process for:
generating a model of data processing resources within the environment;
generating a data resilience-graph (R-graph) based the model, the R-graph including an object for each resource, the object for each resource further including at least a compliance attribute and a criticality attribute;
applying compliance and criticality rules to the R-graph; and
displaying a domain-specific view from the R-graph.
5 . The apparatus of claim 4 additionally wherein
the R-graph consists of a hierarchy of objects, and the domain-specific view is further generated by applying inheritance attributes of the compliance and criticality rules to the hierarchy of objects.
6 . The apparatus of claim 5 wherein the domain-specific view is for an entire enterprise, a department within the enterprise, an application, or a service.
7 . A computer program product embodied in a non-transient medium for assessing compliance status of a data processing environment, the computer program product holding computer program instructions that, when executed by a data processing system, is configured for:
generating a model of data processing resources within the data processing environment;
generating a data resilience-graph (R-graph) based the model, the R-graph including an object for each resource, the object for each resource further including at least a compliance attributed and a criticality attribute; and
applying compliance and criticality rules to the objects in the R-graph; and
displaying a domain-specific view of the R-graph.
8 . The computer program product of claim 7 additionally wherein the R-graph consists of a hierarchy of objects, and the domain-specific view is further generated by applying inheritance attributes of the compliance and criticality rules to the hierarchy of objects.
9 . The computer program product of claim 7 wherein the domain-specific view is for an entire enterprise, a department within the enterprise, an application, or a service.
