Database rating

If you are new to database security and privacy rules, we recommend you first read through our dedicated article on the subject:

Just like pages, your data types can be categorized based on their intended accessibility: some data is meant to be publicly available, while other data should only be accessed under specific conditions. However, a data type does not in itself contain any data, but is instead separated into fields, each of which contain data that can be public or sensitive.

As Flusk generates reports on the security of your data types and fields, it again needs to know how you as a developer intend for the access of each of your data type fields to be.

Selecting a data type

Before you can assign a rating to a field, you need to pick which data type you want to work with. Flusk will fetch all data types from the selected app and show them. Clicking an data type will show you each field on that type.

Automatic ratings

Flusk will attempt to give each of your data type fields a rating on its own by using AI. Each of those fields can be overridden by clicking on the assigned rating.

Manual ratings

Every field can be given the rating safe or sensitive by clicking on the rate in the page rating tool.

• Safe: the data in the field can be accessible to anyone, including through the Data API.

• Sensitive: the data in the field should be protected with privacy rules, and should not be accessible by anyone without the proper authentication.
