Data Vault REST API

Data Vault is the feature of Cloud Compliance that helps to check the “Proof of De-identification”. After the De-identification of any record, Cloud Compliance stores some data in encrypted format in org so if the user wants to check whether the record is already de-identified or not, can use the Data Vault feature. In some use cases, Data Vault features need to be invoked by an external system so Cloud Compliance offers a REST API interface.

This document explains how to invoke “Proof of De-identification” via REST API using a JSON-based callout. The API will return “Proof of De-identification” with some standard and custom fields. Here users can decide on fields that should be stored in the org(in an encrypted format) as a “Proof of De-identification”.
 

The REST APIs that are developed for this requirement are as follows – 

1.  POST Request: 

URL
 

    /services/apexrest/PCCC_DM/DeIdentifyRestService


Request Body 
 

{
    "objectName": "Contact",
    "fieldName": "Firstname",
    "fieldValue": "Aniket",
    "deidentificationMappingName": "Contact De-identification Mapping"
}


 2. Parameters to pass – 

  • Object Name – Object Name of the record for which the user wants to check “Proof of De-identification”.
  • Field Name –  Name of the field which will work as a filter to search a de-identified record in Data Vault.
  • Field Value – The actual field value that the user wants to search by.
  • Mapping Name -Mapping name that was used to de-identify record.

Prerequisites –
 

1. Create an appropriate de-identification mapping with the “Add to Data Vault” field as true for some fields to de-identify records.

For more details please refer – RTBF/ De-identification Mappings.
 

Solution Steps

1. To add fields in Data Vault(Proof of De-identification), the user needs to make sure that the ‘Add to Data Vault’ checkbox is checked while adding fields in De-identification mappings for any object.


Note –

  • Users can add both “Erase” and “Obfuscate” fields in the Data Vault as proof of de-identification.
  • Users can add as many fields in the Data Vault but can search the “Proof of De-identification” by a single field only. We recommend adding the field which will have a unique value.

2. Once the mapping is ready as per the business use case and with the choice of Data Vault fields, the user can de-identify records and further can check “Proof of De-identification” using the Data Vault feature.

3. To check the “Proof of De-identification”, navigate to a REST tool such as Salesforce developer workbench, Postman, Insomnia, etc. (This example uses Salesforce Developer Workbench) https://workbench.developerforce.com/restExplorer.php

4. Navigate to the ‘REST Explorer’  from the Utility tab  within the workbench and select the “POST” method

5. For the “POST” method, enter Cloud Compliance’s REST call URL
 

     /services/apexrest/PCCC_DM/DeIdentifyRestService

6. Pass the values of Object Name, Field Name, Field Value, and Mapping Name with the following JSON format in the request body
 

{
    "objectName": "Contact",
    "fieldName": "Email",
    "fieldValue": "abazley65@exblog.nn",
    "deidentificationMappingName": "Contact Deidentification Mapping"
}
