Claim 11:
12. A computer-implemented method for monitoring networked computing devices with integrated electronic data encryption and decryption mechanism, wherein the computer-implemented method comprises:
receiving, from a host computing system via an application programming interface (“API”) layer, host data and metadata;
encrypting, using an encryption module, the host data and metadata;
transmitting the host data and metadata to a consolidated data sink, wherein the consolidated data sink is a relational database comprising a table, the table comprising entries for an identity of a user associated with the host computing system, types of data processed by the host computing system, and processes executed by the host computing system;
receiving a request from a monitoring computing system to decrypt the host data and metadata; and
decrypting, using a decryption module, the host data and metadata.
