Abstract

According to some embodiments, a system, method, means, and/or computer program code are provided to facilitate an appropriate access to secure information by a plurality of users categorized into a plurality of groups. For example, a group access vector may be determined for each of a plurality of records in a data report, each group access vector including a plurality of indicators that indicate if an associated group is authorized to access that record. It may then be arranged for an encryption key to be assigned to each unique group access vector associated with the data report. It may further be arranged for each record in the data report to be encrypted in accordance with the encryption key assigned to the group access vector of that record, the combined encrypted records comprising an encrypted data report.
