Data Layer Security

Data layer security encompasses the protective measures and controls applied to databases, data warehouses, and storage systems that hold organizational information. This includes access controls, encryption, monitoring, and threat detection to prevent unauthorized access, data breaches, and exfiltration of sensitive information. For AI governance, data layer security is critical because machine learning models often require access to large datasets containing personal, proprietary, or regulated information, making robust security practices essential for compliance with standards like GDPR, HIPAA, and SOC 2.
