Large language models are ever more commonly handling sensitive data at scale. 📈

RAG Servers and MCP Servers serve completely different purposes. The security implications differ just as much, especially around database access. 🔒

RAG Servers vs MCP Servers: Choosing the Right Approach for AI-Powered Database Access

As AI capabilities continue to evolve and integrate more deeply into our applications, we’re faced with interesting architectural decisions about how to expose our data to large language models (LLMs). Two approaches that have gained significant traction are Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) servers (such as pgEdge RAG Server) and Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers (such as pgEdge Natural Language Agent). Both have their place, but they serve quite different purposes and come with vastly different security implications – particularly when it comes to database access.

🎅 Santa’s compliance Naughty List for 2025:
❌ Data kept way past retention limits
❌ Marketing emails sent without valid consent
❌ Shadow AI creeping into workflows
❌ Cookie banners that aren’t actually compliant
❌ Missing DPIAs for new tools and AI systems
❌ Breach response plans that haven’t been tested in ages

Nice List = data minimization, strong governance, transparency, and updated vendor contracts. 🎄

California’s new privacy law will require browsers to provide a built-in, one-step opt-out for data sharing. Experts believe browser vendors may extend this capability nationwide to avoid fragmented builds and residency validation.

With 12 states now mandating recognition of opt-out signals, this could shift how platforms and data brokers handle user information once the law takes effect in 2027.

CCPA/CPRA isn’t just an opt-out link—it’s a full data governance regime.
You now need:
• documented retention limits
• updated vendor + contractor contracts
• risk assessments for high-risk processing
• clear rules for “selling” AND “sharing” data
Yet studies show only ~11% of companies were fully compliant, and 92% were still unprepared as of 2022.
Most organizations are still catching up.

#Wikipedia edit: An interesting typo in EN.WP's [Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives#The Monitor](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canadian_Centre_for_Policy_Alternatives#The_Monitor)

The typo is 'complies', which should be 'compiles'.

However, it is a perfectly correct word, and so will not be detected by spelling algorithms. Like rather a few other easy typos. Someone may want to define some logic to check this one, too.
