DBMS_TSDP_MANAGE

180 DBMS_TSDP_MANAGE

The DBMS_TSDP_MANAGE package provides an interface to import and manage sensitive columns and sensitive column types in the database, and is used in conjunction with the DBMS_TSDP_PROTECT package with regard to transparent sensitive data protection (TSDP) policies.

DBMS_TSDP_MANAGE is available with the Enterprise Edition only.

This chapter contains the following topics:

180.1 DBMS_TSDP_MANAGE Overview

The DBMS_TSDP_MANAGE package lets you manage sensitive columns and sensitive types in the Oracle database.

The identified sensitive columns are classified based on the sensitive types. By Using the DBMS_TSDP_PROTECT package to create a policy that protects data for a given class based on a column type rather than the data itself, you can then manage security for these types in a uniform fashion and modify the settings to accommodate changing compliance regulations.

You also can export the policies to other databases, when you perform a full export using Data Pump. You cannot export the policy itself, but an export of the database will include the TSDP policies.

180.2 DBMS_TSDP_MANAGE Security Model

All procedures are executed with invoker's rights. The DBMS_TSDP_MANAGE package is owned by SYS.

The EXECUTE privilege on this package should be granted as appropriate. Typically, an application database administrator should be granted the EXECUTE privilege for this package, while the DBMS_TSDP_PROTECT package would be governed by a security administrator.
