System for tracking external data transmissions via inventory and registration
First Claim
1. A system for tracking external data transmissions within an enterprise, the system comprising:
- a data transmission registrar configured to receive, in computing device storage, a plurality of data transmission registrations, wherein each registration includes an associated registration number and indicates validation of (i) data to be transmitted, (ii) an internal source from which said data is sent, and (iii) an external target to which said data is sent, wherein validation is defined by meeting predetermined external data transmission requirements;
a data transmission inventory configured to receive, in computing device storage, one or more of data transmission logs and data transmission schedules from a plurality of data transmission sources, wherein the data transmission logs and data transmission schedules identify external data transmissions and include, for each data transmission, identification of data transmitted, an internal source and an external target;
a computing platform including a memory and at least one processor in communication with the memory; and
a data transmission tracking module stored in the memory, executable by the processor and configured to;
access the data transmission inventory to retrieve at least one of one or more data transmission logs or one or more data transmission schedules,determine, for each of the external data transmissions in the one or data transmissions logs or one or more data transmission schedules, whether the external data transmission is a registered data transmission,determine, for each registered data transmission, whether the registered data transmission is a valid registered data transmission,in response to determining that the external data transmission is not (a) a registered data transmission or (b) a valid registered data transmission, validate (i) data in the transmission, (ii) an internal source from which said data is transmitted, and (iii) an external target to which said data is transmitted, andin response to validating (i) the data in the transmission, (ii) the internal source, and (iii) the external target, generating a corresponding data transmission registration including an associated registration number and storing said data transmission registration in the data transmission registrar.

Abstract
A platform for tracking external data transmissions through implementation of a data transmission inventory and registration process. The data transmission inventory provides for collection of data transmission logs and data transmission schedules from various sources throughout an enterprise. The information from the data transmission inventory is used to determine whether a pending, ongoing or completed data transmission is currently registered and, if so, whether the registration is currently valid. If a determination is made that no registration exits or the current registration is invalid, a validation/registration process ensues, whereby the data, the internal source and the external target are validated according to requisite requirements of the corresponding transmission. If validated, the data channel is deemed valid and is registered. If the data, internal source or external source are found to be invalid entries in the data transmission log or schedule are tagged/flagged indicating the invalidity and cause of the invalidity.

13. A method for tracking external data transmissions in an enterprise, the method comprising:
-
accessing, by a computing device processor, a data transmission inventory to retrieve at least one of one or more data transmission logs or one or more data transmission schedules stored in the inventory, wherein the data transmission logs and data transmission schedules identify a plurality of external data transmission and include, for each data transmission, identification of data, an internal source and an external data transmission; determining, by a computing device processors, for each of the external data transmissions in the one or data transmissions logs or the data transmission schedules, whether the external data transmission is a registered data transmission; determining, by a computing device processor, for each registered data transmission, whether the registered data transmission is a valid registered data transmission; in response to determining that the external data transmission is not (a) a registered data transmission or (b) a valid registered data transmission, validating, by a computing device processor, (i) data in the transmission, (ii) an internal source from which said data is transmitted, and (iii) an external target to which said data is transmitted; and in response to validating the (i) data in the data transmission, (ii) internal source, and (iii) external target, generating, by a computing device processor, a corresponding data transmission registration including an associated registration identifier and storing said data transmission registration in a data transmission registrar, wherein the data transmission registrar stores a plurality of data transmission registrations, wherein each registration includes an associated registration identifier and indicates validation of (i) data to be transmitted, (ii) an internal source from which said data is sent, and (iii) an external target to which said data is sent, wherein validation is defined by meeting predetermined external data transmission requirements. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15)
