Dynamic deployment of access controls anchored on request actions

A non-transitory computer-readable medium having stored thereon instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, are configurable to cause the one or more processors to:

• receive, via a user interface, a request to access one or more resources managed by the one or more processors of an electronic device in a multi-user, on demand computing environment, the request comprising one or more request elements;
• determine that the request matches one or more anchorless rules that lack dependency on resources engaged during a lifetime of the request;
• apply the one or more anchorless rules matched by the request;
• and
• responsive to the one or more anchorless rules lacking a blocking rule for the request, apply one or more virtual access check rules to the request, wherein the one or more virtual access check rules are anchored to specific request actions of the one or more request elements of the request.

A method to implement secure data transfer between entities in a multi-user, on-demand computing environment:

• receiving, via a user interface, a request to access one or more resources managed by an electronic device in the multi-user, on demand computing environment, the request comprising one or more request elements;
• determining that the request matches one or more anchorless rules that lack dependency on resources engaged during a lifetime of the request;
• applying the one or more anchorless rules matched by the request;
• and
• responsive to the one or more anchorless rules lacking a blocking rule for the request, applying one or more virtual access check rules to the request, wherein the one or more virtual access check rules are anchored to specific request actions of the one or more request elements of the request.
