GDPR: Data Masking and Anonymization

GDPR: Why manage your personal data with Data Masking and Anonymization?

Unlike its predecessor the Data Protection Directive (95/46/EC), the GDPR has an international reach. It impacts any organization worldwide that collects, processes – or even transfers – personal EU citizen data.

Financial penalties with the GDPR are unprecedented. Any organization failing to implement sufficient precautions for the protection of personal EU citizen data can incur fines reaching 20 million EUR or 4% of turnover worldwide, whichever is higher.

70% of security-related
incidents come
from internal sources”
-Gartner

Gartner and Forester statistics show that 70% of security-related incidents and 80% of risks originate with companies’ internal employees and that 65% of risks are never detected.

A high risk area is software testing. Test quality depends on using realistic test data. It is therefore common practice to subset production data into insecure test environments, exposing personal information to unauthorized personnel.

The risks of unmasking or re-identification in masked datasets are increasingly a concern, as organizations build complex big data environments” – Gartner Research, 2018

Pseudonymization or anonymization is highly recommended in the GDPR regulation. Data is irreversibly de-identified and de-sensitized so that personal information remains anonymous in the context of support, analytics, testing, or outsourcing.
