Systems and methods for automated determination of trust levels associated with regions and securely transporting data between the regions

Various embodiments of the present technology can include systems, methods, and non-transitory computer readable media configured to receive information about a plurality of regions contained within a hierarchy of a computer network environment, wherein the plurality of regions are assigned respective prime numbers. A first prime number assigned to a first region of the plurality of regions is determined. A second prime number assigned to a second region of the plurality of regions, wherein the second prime number is different from the first prime number is determined. A nearest common region in the hierarchy that includes the first region and the second region based on the respective prime numbers is identified. A security policy associated with the nearest common region is determined.
