GDPR Reference Architecture

This is a reference archirecture that demostrates a message and command pattern style of development to support the Data Subject Action Pattern in applicaton "stubs". This is the follow-up to my blog post on GDPR and Microsoft Technologies.

This reference architecture includes the following items:

• Azure ARM Template to setup resources
• Supporting GDPR master database
• A GDPR Data Subject Portal
• A PowerApps Form and supporting custom connector
• An event processor console
• A windows service for on-premises integration

Setup Steps

• Deploy the ARM template to an azure instance
• Deploy the two dacpac database files to your new Azure SQL server resource
• Deploy the WebApp.GDPRHubProxy (take note of its azure endpoint)
• Deploy the PowerApps application
• Update the custom PowerApp connector OpenAPI config file
• Deploy the custom PowerApp connector
• Configure the PowerApps GRPR form button to use the custom connector
• Update all the app.config and web.config files to point to your Azure Key Vault connection strings (Event Hub, Database)
• Start the event hub processor console project
• Start the Console.Test project to fire some messages to the Event Hub

GDPR Data Subject Action Pattern

In order for an application to be GDPR compliant, it must be able to handle the following requests:

• Record Create (Out)
• Record Search (All, Single entity)
• Record Delete (In/Out)
• Record Hold
• Record Update (In/Out)
• Notify
• Consent
• GetChanges (Created and updated records)
• Export Data
