• Key Concepts: 
  Application blocking is a feature of the Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) Universal Data Service (UDS) Data Owner (DO) component. It is used to prevent unauthorized access to sensitive data by blocking certain applications from accessing the data. This feature can be used to protect confidential information from being accessed by malicious actors or unauthorized personnel. 
  
  How to use it: 
  Application blocking can be enabled in the GRC-UDS-DO component by setting up a policy that defines which applications are allowed to access the data. The policy can be configured to block certain applications or to allow only specific applications to access the data. Once the policy is set up, it will be enforced whenever an application attempts to access the data. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When setting up an application blocking policy, it is important to consider the security implications of allowing or blocking certain applications. For example, if an application is blocked, it may be possible for malicious actors to bypass the security measures and gain access to the data. Therefore, it is important to ensure that only trusted applications are allowed access.
