Challenge
The primary challenge is protecting the privacy of policyholders while ensuring that data used for testing, development, and demonstrations remains accurate and useful. The standard data masking solutions often do not meet the use case requirements due to the loss of data utility.
The time-consuming approval processes for insurance customer data sharing and processing slows down innovation. Additionally, the looming risk of data breaches, enforcement actions, and reputational damage poses significant business threats.
Solution
Anonos’ data-centric security platform,
Data Embassy, leverages Variant Twins technology to resolve senstitive insurance data use challenges.
A Variant Twin is a new asset derived from the original sensitive insurance data, revealing only the minimum identifying information necessary. This ensures 100% of the original data's accuracy and utility is maintained while staying compliant with data regulations. The result is a data asset that can be processed safely anywhere - on a local desktop or in the cloud. Each Variant Twin comprises only the data elements needed and authorized for a specific use or analysis.
Anonos Data Embassy transforms senstitve data into a new asset based on pre-configured rules and automated workflows specific to each particular use case. These workflows determine what level of identifying information can be revealed, to whom, and for what purpose. The resulting Variant Twins are ready for compliant processing and analysis.
