Managing environments

The environment is an entity that determines the scope within which records with regulated data are stored on the InCountry platform. You can also think about an environment as a bucket that stores sensitive data. Data records stored within a specific environment (so-called, bucket) are separated from records stored in other environments. The environment allows you to get access to your data stores on the InCountry platform.

To view the available environments, on the menu, select Environments. The Environments page opens, as follows:

On the Environments page, you can view the list of available environments. For each environment, the following information is available:

Attribute	Description
Label	Name of the environment that exists for your organization.
Type	Type of the environment.
Clients	Number of clients within the environment.
Integrations	Number of integrations within the environment.

Within each environment, you can have multiple clients and integrations that you can use for storing regulated data on the InCountry Platform.

1. create new environments
