Solutions – Redaction in Public Sector
New challenges in public sector data security
In the era of digitalization, institutions generate and process huge amounts of data, including citizens’ personal data, which therefore require special protection. Consequently, ensuring the security and privacy of this data has become increasingly critical.
Challenges
Managing redaction in the public sector
The process involves implementing robust privacy and security measures to ensure the confidentiality, integrity, and accessibility of sensitive information across various government and institutional frameworks. Consequently, these measures are crucial for maintaining trust and reliability. Moreover, by integrating these measures, institutions can effectively manage data protection risks.
The public sector encompasses a wide range of institutions, including government administrative offices, healthcare units, city offices, ministries, public hospitals, schools, and universities. In the digital age, these institutions generate and process vast amounts of data. Importantly, this data includes the personal information of citizens, which requires special protection. Consequently, legal requirements such as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) impose on the public sector the duty to ensure the highest level of privacy and security for this information. Therefore, this poses a significant challenge in the context of data anonymization.
Documents processed by the public sector, from benefit applications through medical documentation to meeting records, are saturated with personal data. Traditional methods of anonymization, involving manual redaction in software like Adobe or physically shading text with a marker, are not only inefficient but also prone to errors. Consequently, these errors can lead to the accidental disclosure of sensitive information. Furthermore, these methods are extremely time-consuming and require the engagement of significant human resources.
Bluur® introduces a breakthrough in the document anonymization process in the public sector. Specifically, our software automatically identifies and anonymizes personal data in documents using advanced classification algorithms. Consequently, this process is not only fast but also highly effective, with an efficiency exceeding 93%. Moreover, Bluur® undergoes regular security tests, and each anonymized document can be certified, providing an additional layer of protection and ensuring compliance with the latest data protection standards.
