Abstract

A data security evaluation computing device for evaluating data security of a target system is coupled to a plurality of data sources including the target system, and receives a request message requesting data security review, the request message including an identifier of the target system. The computing device queries a first data source to receive data representing whether the target system has previously breached, and locally caches the data. The computing device queries a second data source to receive data associated with a potential for a future data breach, and locally caches the data. The computing device also generates a data security score by analyzing the locally cached data, the data security score representing a likelihood the target system was or will be the subject of a data breach, compiles the data security score and additional data into a data security report, and transmits a response message including the report.
