Abstract

One example method includes extracting content metadata from data, storing the content metadata in a data catalogue, receiving at the data catalogue, from a user, a request to access the data, transmitting, by the data catalogue to a security service provider, an access request that includes the extracted content metadata and metadata relating to the access request, accessing, by the security service provider, identity metadata concerning an identity of the user, and a data access policy, and transmitting, by the security service provider to the data catalogue, a decision as to whether or not access can be granted to the data, and the decision is based on the data access policy, the identity metadata, and the metadata in the access request.
