Abstract

Methods, systems, and computer-readable media for enhancing information security using an information passport dashboard are presented. In one or more embodiments, a computing platform may receive, from a user computing device, a request for an information passport dashboard. Subsequently, the computing platform may load a listing of available dashboard content items from an information passport database. Then, the computing platform may select content items from the listing of available dashboard content items to promote one or more content items to the user of the user computing device based on user preferences information and further based on aggregate usage information. Thereafter, the computing platform may generate an information passport dashboard interface that includes information identifying the content items selected from the listing of available dashboard content items for the user of the user computing device. The computing platform then may send, to the user computing device, the information passport dashboard interface.

while the communications link with the user computing device is established, send, via the communication interface, and to the user computing device, the information passport dashboard interface, wherein sending the information passport dashboard interface to the user computing device causes the user computing device to display the information passport dashboard interface,

wherein selecting the content items from the listing of available dashboard content items includes selecting at least one content item based on the violation information for the user of the user computing device.

2. The system of claim 1, wherein selecting the content items from the listing of available dashboard content items includes matching demographic information for the user of the user computing device with demographic trend information identifying one or more preferred content types for at least two different user groups to determine at least one preferred content type for the user of the user computing device.

3. The system of claim 1, wherein the user preferences information identifies at least one preferred content type of the user of the user computing device.

4. The system of claim 1, wherein the memory stores additional computer-readable instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, further cause the system to:

receive, via the communication interface, and from the user computing device, a request to view a first content item;

load content information for the first content item; and

send, via the communication interface, and to the user computing device, the content information for the first content item.

5. The system of claim 4, wherein the memory stores additional computer-readable instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, further cause the system to:

store user history information based on the request to view the first content item received from the user computing device; and

update the user preferences information that is specific to the user of the user computing device based on the user history information.

6. The system of claim 1, wherein the memory stores additional computer-readable instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, further cause the system to:

monitor user activity information received from the user computing device; and

update the aggregate usage information based on the user activity information.

7. The system of claim 6, wherein the aggregate usage information is further updated based on additional user activity information received from one or more other computing devices different from the user computing device.

8. The system of claim 1, wherein at least one point value of the at least one content item is dynamically modified to incentivize the user of the user computing device to view the at least one content item.

9. The system of claim 1, wherein the user information security score is further determined based on exception information for the user of the user computing device.

10. The system of claim 9, wherein selecting the content items from the listing of available dashboard content items includes selecting at least one content item based on the exception information for the user of the user computing device.

11. The system of claim 10, wherein at least one point value of the at least one content item is dynamically modified to incentivize the user of the user computing device to view the at least one content item.

12. The system of claim 1, wherein the information passport dashboard interface further includes at least one leaderboard interface.

13. The system of claim 1, wherein the information passport dashboard interface further includes at least one violations interface.

14. The system of claim 1, wherein the information passport dashboard interface further includes at least one manager interface.

15. A method, comprising:

at a computing platform comprising at least one processor, memory, and a communication interface;

receiving, by the at least one processor, via the communication interface, and from a user computing device, a request for an information passport dashboard for a user of the user computing device;
