SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR DETERMINING A RISK LEVEL OF DATA IN A RESPONSE TO QUERIES TO A DATABASE

A method and system are configured for identifying a risk level of data in a response to a query made to a database. The method may include receiving the query, receiving a framework including data categorization rules for the data, parsing the query to determine queried tables of data elements in the database, classifying the data elements in the queried tables based on rules in the framework to produce classification labelings, jointly classifying a union of data elements in the queried tables to produce classification labelings for the union of data elements, determining a risk level for each of the queried tables by comparing the classification labelings for data elements in each table to the classification labelings in the union of data elements, and presenting a risk level alert for the query when the risk level of any of the queried tables is above a predetermined risk level.
