Data protection policy enforcement decision making in collaborative framework environments

A system comprising:

• a processor, a computer readable memory, and a computer readable storage medium located in a computer device;
• program instructions to establish a plurality of rules for evaluating actions performed in a collaborative environment, the collaborative environment including a plurality of collaborators and a plurality of data assets associated with collaboration between the collaborators;
• program instructions to, in response to a request to perform an action in the collaborative environment, apply the rules to the plurality of sets of data assets to create a plurality of determinations;
• program instructions to, in response to each of the plurality of determinations being allowed, allow the action to be performed;
• program instructions to, in response to a change in the rules, disinvite a collaborator of the collaborators not complying with the change in the rules;
• program instructions to, in response to determining that one of the data assets is not allowable under the rules, but would be allowable if a portion of the one of the data assets was transformed to a form that is allowable, provide a determination that the portion of the one of the data assets needs to be transformed before the action is allowed, wherein a transformation to transform the portion of the one of the data assets includes changing what the collaborators see without changing data of the one of the data assets;
• and
• program instructions to, in response to at least one of the plurality of determinations being denied, prevent the action from being performed,
• wherein the program instructions are stored on the computer readable storage medium for execution by the processor via the computer readable memory.

A computer program product, the computer program product comprising a computer readable storage medium having program instructions embodied therewith, the program instructions executable by a computer device to cause the computer device to:

• establish a plurality of rules for evaluating actions performed in a collaborative environment, the collaborative environment including a plurality of collaborators and a plurality of data assets associated with collaboration between the collaborators;
• in response to a request to perform an action in the collaborative environment, apply, by the computer device, the rules to the plurality of data assets to create a plurality of determinations;
• in response to a change in the rules, disinvite, by the computer device, a collaborator of the collaborators not complying with the change in the rules;
• in response to the change in the rules, transform, by the computer device, a data asset to a form that is allowable for each of the collaborators by changing what the project collaborators see without changing data of the data asset;
• in response to each of the plurality of determinations being allowed, allow, by the computer device, the action to be performed;
• and
• in response to at least one of the plurality of determinations being denied, prevent, by the computer device, the action from being performed.
