3. Error Handling regarding GDPR
In eMagiz, all errors are raised when a process fails, and you want to have some form of logging end up in the Manage phase of eMagiz. The Manage phase of eMagiz is primarily accessible to support employees, employees working on the project, and in some cases, even more, people have at least view rights. You can imagine that when many people have access to potentially sensitive data, you should consider countermeasures. This way, you can reduce the chances of sensitive data ending up in the wrong hands. Some of the potential countermeasures are available within the platform. Some of them are procedural in nature. In this microlearning, we will learn what you can do to keep your data safe within eMagiz.
In eMagiz, we value the security of your data. A detailed overview of how your data is secured within the platform and when data is exchanged can be found in our Security Guide. One of the additional measures you could take on our data models is to indicate whether the information stored in those attributes is confidential. More information on how that works exactly can be found in this microlearning.
Building on that, we have a store component available in the store with which you can replace the values in these attributes (in case the original payload is XML) with ***. The error message is still shown for an RCA to be performed, but the sensitive data is not accessible to the user.
In terms of process, you should know which data is sensitive in terms of GDPR and not store that information in external tools such as Postman and SOAP UI. Furthermore, it would be best to consider how you want to shape the notifications to prevent sensitive information from being willingly distributed to the eMail boxes of recipients.
