Creating CRUD for customer data vs using open-source Databunker tool

Yuli — Mon, 05 Jul 2021 16:28:12 +0000

Creating CRUD without security in mind can bring you to security disaster. Check out this article how to do it correctly.

About me.

I am an open-source developer working on Databunker. Today I got a question from one of the guys on a social network.

Why the hell I need Databunker when I can do everything by myself?

It is totally true, you can go DIY. On the other hand, Databunker grew to be a better solution than you can think about.

Let's start from the basics.

Databunker is a special application server used for the secure storage of customer data. It is not a full-fledged database. In the backend, it is using MySQL, PostgreSQL, or SQLite to store encrypted customer records. The product comes with full GDPR compliance and is built with privacy-by-design architecture.

Any company implementing Databunker has a quick and easy way for GDPR and privacy-by-design compliance in addition to much better security.

Hmm, but I can go with Hashicorp Vault?

Hashicorp Vault is a great product. It is built for completely different use cases.

For example, when saving records in Databunker, Databunker knows to extract user email, phone, login identity, and custom identity and built a secure hashed-based index to do a quick user record lookup.

User record CRUD is just a part of the service. In Databunker, you have a secure session storage API, temp shareable identities API, automatic record expiration and removal, compliance with pseudonymization, DPO management, user-accessible UI, and more.

Besides you can go with a free version with an MIT license.

It is up to you to go with Databunker or build your own solution.

Just do not leave customer data unencrypted.

Databunker - a new vault project

Yuli — Thu, 24 Jun 2021 13:19:42 +0000

Today, I'm really excited to share the #opensource project we've been working on at Privacybunker.io for a while – Databunker🚀🚀🚀!

Databunker is a special secure vault for customer records. It is easy to integrate with the existing code. And it matches the needs of privacy by design compliance.

It can be easily integrated with existing #CRMs, #email marketing services, #e-commerce web-sites, #HR systems and #Node.js applications.

It allows following:

Seamless encryption of customer data. You can easily lookup user records by the field: email, phone, token, custom index without exposing customer PII/data in clear text.
Automatic privacy compliance in accordance with GDPR / CPRA requirements.
To provide secure storage for personal data.

Developing a new project? Want to target European customers? Look no further! Our product solves compliance in the most cost-effective way: https://databunker.org/

Secure Session Storage for Web Apps

Yuli — Sun, 14 Mar 2021 13:25:29 +0000

When creating web applications you need to save data in a session object. This data can include user email address, user permissions, last operation code, error messages.

Some of this information is considered Personal Identifiable Information. In short, PII, as defined by GDPR.

Europeans (and the European Union in particular) care a great deal about online privacy and data protection.

In this article, we’ll be taking an in-depth look at the GDPR and how it could affect the storage of user-session information.

PII in GCP

Yuli — Sat, 23 Jan 2021 19:26:12 +0000

Due to the cancelation of the privacy shield framework and Schrems II, you might no longer be able to use store customer details in the GCP.

A solution for it can be pseudonymisation.

I am running an open-source project that can help you with that.

Check out the following article for more information:

https://databunker.org/use-case/schrems-ii-compliance/

What are you guys doing with Schrems-II?

Yuli — Thu, 14 Jan 2021 09:40:53 +0000

Hi guys,

The ruling by the Court of Justice of the EU (CJEU) on 16 July 2020 in the so-called 'Schrems II' case has significant implications for the transfer of personal data outside of the European Economic Area (EEA).

What are you doing with this?

A swiss army knife tool to store personal records 🛡️

Yuli — Tue, 05 Jan 2021 09:01:41 +0000

My open-source project finally reached an important milestone. 100 stars on Github. My project is a kind of swiss army knife tool to store personal records. Due to the lack of time, I was actually not promoting it. So the growth is organic. For me, it means that it has real value for the developers and for startup founders.

Databunker is a GDPR compliant user store service for Web and mobile apps. Databunker is a combination of several software concepts build together to provide PII storage and privacy by design out of the box:

A Personal Identifiable Information (PII) storage and vault
Secure session storage for web applications
Privacy portal for customers
Application backend server
DPO management tool
Tokenization service
Secret sauce

Better search for developers

Yuli — Tue, 15 Oct 2019 20:44:18 +0000

For years, I was doing software development. I used to work with different platforms and different languages. As a developer, I constantly open Google to search function' exact name and arguments, code examples or programming language tips. For example, "what is the better way to do foreach in c++". There are a hundred examples, why exactly I need to do the search.

Sometimes, I need to do copy & paste from VSCode and search in Google for a specific function name.

Today, I will share with you a small project I build in recent months.

It is a custom search engine build with Google, that has an index of developer websites only. It is available at https://codeseek.com/.

Some people will probably ask, why we need you if we have Google? I can answer that you will be more productive because you will not get unrelated search results for your search query.

In addition, I have build plugins for popular IDE - integrated development environments, like VSCode, Android Studio, IntelliJ, etc..

It is to save you a few seconds you waste on "copy & paste" from your IDE. Instead, with a right mouse click, you will be able to run the Codeseek search on the text selected.

All services are completely free. I removed the Google ads too, so, no ads.
