Abstract:
1. A computer hardware-implemented method of determining an applicability of a data privacy regulation when transmitting data used with an enterprise project, the computer hardware-implemented method comprising: receiving a first set of binary data that describes a data privacy regulation, wherein the data privacy regulation describes regulatory restrictions on data being transmitted from a first country to a second country, and wherein the first set of binary data describes multiple components of the data privacy regulation; receiving a second set of binary data that describes a set of categorized data, wherein the set of categorized data is used by an enterprise project, and wherein the data privacy regulation establishes limitations on a transmission of at least one category of data, from the set of categorized data, from the first country to the second country; processing, by computer hardware, the first set of binary data and the second set of binary data to determine if transmission of said at least one category of data from the first country to the second country is regulated by the data privacy regulation, wherein determining whether the transmission of said at least one category of data from the first country to the second country is regulated by the data privacy regulation is performed by determining whether or not the categorized data is within a scope of the data privacy regulation; identifying a currently implemented enterprise data privacy procedure; generating and displaying a matrix of the set of categorized data, wherein the matrix is visually coded to indicate a non-binary level of compliance, due to the currently implemented enterprise data privacy procedure, by a particular category from said at least one category of data with a particular component of said multiple components of the data privacy regulation; and in response to a change to the data privacy regulation changing a non-binary compliance level of said at least one category of data with said particular component of said multiple components of the data privacy regulation, automatically adjusting visual coding of blocks in the matrix in order to reflect said change to the data privacy regulation.
