Protecting PII
PII is information which can be used to distinguish or trace an individual's identity. This information can, for example, be a name, social security number, or biometric record. The information can be used in isolation to identify a person, or can be combined with other information which is linked or linkable to a specific individual, for example date or place of birth or mother’s maiden name. An attribute not identifying someone alone, but in combination with others is referred to as a quasi-identifier or a pseudo-identifier. Because of the versatility and power of modern re-identification algorithms, the absence of explicit PII does not mean that the remaining data cannot be used to identify individuals.
By encrypting your data, you can reduce the consequence of an eventual data breach as well as reduce your scope of compliance and regulation, including GDPR.
PII Guard can help you encrypt your PII.
Good test data is the foundation of good testing. Your test data must reflect your production data in terms of format, volume, errors, and irregularities.
PII Guard can create representative and safe test data.
