Configure Data Redaction in OFSAA

This section details the configurations required in case you want to enable Data Redaction in the OFSAA applications.

Topics:

·        Prerequisites

·        Data Redaction

·        Enable Data Redaction in case of an Upgrade

Prerequisites

Ensure the required Oracle Database Server versions are installed:

·        Oracle Database Server Enterprise Edition 18c Release 3  - 64 bit RAC/Non-RAC with/without partitioning option, Advanced Security Option.

·        Oracle Database Server Enterprise Edition 19c Release 3 - 64 bit RAC/Non-RAC with/without partitioning option, Advanced Security Option.

Data Redaction

OFSAA is enhanced to enable masking of sensitive data and Personal Identification Information (PII) to adhere to Regulations and Privacy Policies Oracle Data Redaction provides selective, on-the-fly redaction of sensitive data in database query results before display by applications so that unauthorized users cannot view the sensitive data The stored data remains unaltered, while displayed data is transformed into a pattern that does not contain any identifiable information.

To enable Data Redaction, perform the following steps:

1.     Log in as SYSDBA into the database.

2.     Execute the $FIC_HOME/utility/data_security/scripts/create_data_sec_ roles.sql file only once per database (PDB in case of 18c/19c).

3.     Execute the following SQL statement to find out the list of atomic users from the table:

select v_schema_name from aai_db_detail where V_DB_NAME <> 'CONFIG' AND V_DB_ TYPE = 'ORACLE'

4.     Execute the $FIC_HOME/utility/data_security/scripts/grant_data_sec_roles.sql file for all atomic users found in the previous step.

5.     From the Configuration window in the System Configuration module, select the Allow Data Redaction checkbox.

6.     Run the Data Redaction utility.

For more details on enabling Data Redaction, see the Data Redaction section in the Data Security and Data Privacy topic in the OFS Analytical Applications Infrastructure Administration and Configuration Guide.

Enable Data Redaction in case of Upgrade

This section details the configurations required in case you want to enable Data Redaction in OFSAA applications after upgrade to OFSAA 8.1.2.0.0 version from a previous version Additionally, these configurations are required in case you did not enable TDE during Oracle Insurance Accounting Analyzer 8.1.2.0.0 installation and want to enable it at a later point in time.

Perform the following steps:

1.     From the Configuration window in the System Configuration module, select the Allow Data Redaction checkbox.

2.     Run the Data Redaction utility.

For more details on enabling Data Redaction, see the Data Redaction section in the Data Security and Data Privacy topic in the OFS Analytical Applications Infrastructure Administration Guide.

Data Protection Implementation in OFSAA

Data Protection implementation in OFSAA applications includes the following:

·        Right to be Forgotten

·        Data Portability

·        Pseudonymization

·        Notice and Consent

·        Data Archival

·        Data Redaction

See the OFSDF Data Protection Implementation Guide for details.

Right to be Forgotten

Right to be Forgotten

Right to be Forgotten is the task of removing Personally Identifiable Information (PII) of a Data Subject for the given Party The financial institution can delete PII for those Data Subjects who have requested this Right to be Forgotten functionality.

The Data Subjects may have made significant financial transactions, and/or financial information may be required for regulatory or compliance reporting Deleting the complete record that consists of PII may lead to issues in data reconciliation In OFSAA, the PII data will be replaced with randomized values and therefore, the complete Data Subject record is retained As a result, financial information is retained; however, the associated Party PII is removed permanently.

Configuring Right to be Forgotten During Oracle Insurance Accounting Analyzer Installation

To configure Right to be Forgotten, follow these steps:

1.     Ensure that you assign the role of Data Controller to the IIA user.

2.     Edit the task of the batch <Infodom_name>_RightToForget By default the parameter is SYSADMN Modify the user ID in the Metadata Value field to the IIA Data Controller user ID from Step 1.

3.     Add the party IDs entries for the Right to Forget in the FSI_PARTY_RIGHT_TO_FORGET table.

4.     Execute the batch <Infodom_name>_RightToForget, for the specific FIC MIS date mentioned in the FSI_PARTY_RIGHT_TO_FORGET table.
