Classification: CPC H  G | IPC G  H

Claim 7:
8. A system comprising:
a processor configured to:
identify data elements subject to protection, the data elements being identified from datasets of different computing environments of an organization;
determine an access pattern associated with each of the data elements, wherein the access pattern includes a user identifier, and access date and time;
determine a lineage of a subset of the data elements, the lineage being determined based on movement of the subset of the data elements from a source system of the subset of the data elements to a target system of the subset of the data elements;
based on the lineage determined based on the movement of the subset of the data elements from the source system to the target system, identify a level of sensitivity for the subset of the data elements, the level of sensitivity indicating a first protection level associated with the target system and a second protection level associated with the source system;
responsive to identifying the level of sensitivity for the subset of the data elements, determine a protection type for the first protection level for the subset of the data elements, the determined protection type for the first protection level including one or more of a hash, encryption, or tokenization; and
protect the subset of the data elements by applying the determined protection type for the first protection level.
