Secure Online Data Repository (SODR) is a huge database that stores, manages and stores information sets to be used to analyze and report. It makes use of structured organization methods, standardized schemas and metadata to make data easy to locate. It also allows for the storage of multiple sources of data in a single location to make it easier to integrate.
A central system can be used to ensure uniform management practices as well as compliance to regulatory requirements. For instance it is able to regulate the length of time data should be kept or the manner in which they should be removed. Data repositories usually have robust access control mechanisms, including specific permissions that restrict authorized users to specific data segments that make it much more difficult for hackers to attack individual data points. They also may have tools for monitoring the patterns of access to data. This makes it easier to detect suspicious actions.
Quality of data is improved: The majority of repositories offer features for data cleansing and assurance of quality which improves the reliability of business intelligence and analytics efforts. However, this can sometimes lead to redundancy, which can increase storage costs and can cause problems with the process of data migration.
Security Data repositories are popular targets for cyberattacks that is why the implementation of strong security measures crucial. They also keep regular backups, in addition to strict access control.
