Data security systems and methods

A computer-implemented method for data security, the method implemented using a computer system including at least one processor and a non-transitory, tangible, computer-readable storage medium having computer-executable instructions stored thereon, the method comprising:

• logging a plurality of data access events initiated by a user to generate a user profile of the user, wherein the user profile includes a type of data accessed by each of the plurality of data access events;
• receiving a new data access event initiated by the user including a type of requested data by the new data access event;
• comparing the type of the requested data of the new data access event to the type of the data included in the user profile;
• determining, based upon the comparing, whether to deny, restrict, or provide access to the requested data associated with the new data access event;
• in a case where the determining is to restrict the requested data, automatically triggering an audit of the user;
• and
• informing a system administrator of the audit.

At least one non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having computer-executable instructions embodied thereon, wherein when executed by at least one processor, the computer-executable instructions cause the at least one processor to:

• log a plurality of data access events initiated by a user to generate a user profile of the user, wherein the user profile includes a type of data accessed by each of the plurality of data access events;
• receive a new data access event initiated by the user including a type of requested data by the new data access event;
• compare the type of the requested data of the new data access event to the type of the data included in the user profile;
• determine, based upon the comparing, whether to deny, restrict, or provide access to the requested data associated with the new data access event;
• in a case where the determining is to restrict the requested data, automatically trigger an audit of the user;
• and
• inform a system administrator of the audit.
