Sensitivity Levels
Sensitivity levels provide a way to classify what connections, modules, and fields store sensitive information.
Currently, the user interface permits up to 10 sensitivity levels. |
The sensitivity level on a DAL connection specifies the highest sensitivity level of a record stored in the given connection. The connection sensitivity level also dictates the highest sensitivity level defined on underlying modules and module fields. To exemplify, you can make Corteza save all medical records to a dedicated encrypted database. By default, if no sensitivity level is specified, the data is considered non-sensitive. |
|||
The sensitivity level on a Low Code Module specifies the sensitivity level of records stored in the given module. The module sensitivity level also dictates the highest sensitivity level defined on underlying module fields. By default, if no sensitivity level is specified, the data is considered non-sensitive. |

The sensitivity level on a Low Code module field specifies the sensitivity level of a record value stored in the given module.
By default, if no sensitivity level is specified, the data is considered non-sensitive. |
Configuring Sensitivity Levels
To configure sensitivity levels, open the Corteza Admin web application and navigate to
. You can create new and manage existing sensitivity levels from the list of sensitivity levels.To create a new sensitivity level, click on the new button in the top right corner of the list
Fill out the form and click on the submit button.
The level parameter determines the order regarding which one is more sensitive. |
Configuring DAL Connections
To configure DAL connections with sensitivity levels, open the Corteza Admin web application and navigate to
.From the list of DAL connections, click on the edit icon next to the one you wish to update.
Locate the "highest sensitivity level" parameter and set it to the desired sensitivity level.
Configuring Low Code Modules
To configure a Corteza Low Code with a sensitivity level, open the Corteza Low Code web application and navigate to the admin panel of the desired namespace. From the list of modules, click on the module you wish to update.
If incompatible, changing the sensitivity level value on a module will reset the sensitivity level defined on module fields. |
Navigate to the privacy settings tab and locate the "highest allowed sensitivity level" option.
Additionally, you can set the sensitivity level to specific fields. Under the fields tab, click on the edit button next to the field you want to update. Navigate to the privacy tab and locate the "sensitivity level" option.
Usage Disclosure
Usage disclosure provides a way for you to communicate to the end user how their sensitive data is used within the system and your organization.
Usage disclosure is shown on the privacy console when the user interacts with their sensitive information. |
-
Module-level disclosure notes how the entire record is used,
-
module field-level disclosure notes how the specific value is used.
Module-Level Disclosure
Module-level disclosure notes how the entire record is used. Module-level usage disclosures are ideal for noting the general idea of what the module is used for, such as sellable data to advertisement providers.
To set module-level usage disclosure, navigate to the admin panel of your Low Code namespace and edit the relevant module. The sensitive data usage disclosure input is available under the privacy settings tab.
Field-Level Disclosure
Module field-level disclosure notes how a specific record value is used. Module field-level usage disclosures are ideal to note specific fields that may not be intuitive from the general module-level disclosure.
To set module field-level usage disclosure, navigate to the admin panel of your Low Code namespace and edit the relevant module. Click on the edit button next to the module field you wish to set the disclosure. The sensitive data usage disclosure input is available under the privacy tab.
