How much damage can a single dash "… /… " in a personal identification number cause for your test data? Quite a lot, actually. Volkswagen Financial Services in Sweden are running a massive operation with their test data and based on this, the following key insights about how anonymization can help your data work are worth noticing: 🔑 When working with social security numbers, you need to be able to handle dashes in order to maintain data usefulness 🔑 By anonymizing data, you can involve more employees without risking any GDPR issues 🔑 Data can be highly local - so choose a partner who understands the local needs and regulations in your market Thanks to Klas Flodqvist for taking the time to sit down with us. Would highly recommend to take the time and watch this 2 minute-video

Nearly one in three companies are playing with fire 🔥   Not with petrol and lighters, but with their customer’s data. According to Tonic, 29 percent of companies use unprotected production data (either real customer or personnel data) when testing or troubleshooting their software. And many respondents said their test data practices are broken - 42 pct. claim their practises either aren’t secure or don’t scale.   A company’s customer data is one of the most precious building blocks of the business, and should be guarded closely. The value of the global data and analytics market size will grow 83% from 2022 to 2027 according to GlobalData.   By testing on unprotected data, companies are undermining their own competitive advantage while risking both compromising and leaking the data.   So what should your company do?   You can stop playing with fire by using encrypted data-strings that resemble the original data. With this technique companies can:   🔑 Protect yourself and your customers   🔑 Gain new insights about your customers   🔑 Perform zero-risk testing on quality data   🔑 Optimize business value and revenue

Three tips from us to you about the use and protection of data - wrapped and ready under the Christmas tree! 🎄 👉 Scan your systems and data on a regular basis to get an up-to-date overview of where you store personally identifiable information (PII). 👉 Take the adequate precautions in protecting PII where it’s needed and limit your risks. Protect data in a way that still enables you to use your data for purposes relevant to your business. 👉 Be sure that the data you use for analytics, testing, Data Warehouse etc. is anonymized, so you can use data without worrying about privacy and GDPR. These three tips can help you be proactive and always one step ahead in your work with data and PII! Write a comment or reach out to Michael Mac van Hauen or Martin Staal Boesgaard if you want to learn more. 👇 We wish you and your loved ones a Merry Christmas and/or happy holidays. 🎅 🎄 #dataprotection #privacyprotection #testdata #webanalytics #pii

The Right to Digital Privacy – Always relevant to discuss this topic that influences us all. 🤔 Thank you for an interesting webinar hosted by Louise Olifent from Version2.dk, where the topic is discussed by Max Schrems, Michael Gorm Madsen and Carsten Rose Lundberg. How do we prioritize and make the right decisions regarding data- and privacy protection? Max Schrems and noyb.eu will challenge the Data Privacy Framework in 2024, so once again the transfer of data between the US and EU will be put into a limbo between legality and illegalization. One of the many points in the debate was to consider a plan B if you decide to continue to transfer data between the US and EU, if these data transfers again become illegal. In PII Guard we think that it is always a good idea to be proactive and responsible by protecting you and your users, once and for all. Take a stance now, and consider how you use, and transfer data. Anonymize your data, and focus on your business instead off worrying about a Schrems III. You will be able to sleep at night – even when a Schrems III begins. #privacy #maxschrems #compliance #privacyprotection #dataprivacyframework
