Centralized vs decentralized data de-identification

Identifying a software solution to meet your data transformation needs is just the first step in defining your approach to compliant data de-identification. How you leverage that solution within your company surfaces a number of new questions to consider:

• Who will be responsible for managing the data de-identification solution?
• What roles or permissions will your users have?
• How will you govern specific de-identification techniques?
• What security and audit controls will you put in place?

Determining a management plan is critical to maximizing the solution’s value across your use cases and ensuring its scalability across your organization.

Define from day one whether you’ll implement a centralized or decentralized approach to managing your data de-identification software, and designate the resources you’ll need, including people resources. Identify built-in capabilities to support your approach, such as RBAC or audit trails.

Using the Tonic.ai platform as an example, we’ll outline what this could look like at your organization. Read on for key considerations, recommendations, and the functionality that your team needs to successfully manage and maximize the value of data de-identification at your organization.
