A global engineering and construction firm desensitized 800,000 safety records in one day.
The firm was pooling safety incident records from several construction contractors to learn why accidents happen. The records were full of personal data, and redacting them by hand would have taken years.
“DataXray allows participating contractors to easily and confidently redact any personal information from their safety records.”
The records couldn’t be shared as they were
Comparing incidents across contractors only works if everyone shares their records.
Nearly one million records held personal and sensitive data.
Automated redaction to the firm’s own policy
Due to DataXray already anonymizing similar safety records for other clients, this enterprise firm chose DataXray to do the same job.
DataXray was set up in a couple of hours. It found the personal and sensitive data in each record, tagged it against the firm’s rules, and removed it. Contractors in the program could redact their own records the same way before sharing them.
The contractors could start comparing incidents
The desensitized records were shared across the program.
Redaction became part of the routine
The firm now redacts safety records on an ongoing basis, not as a one-off project. Its teams can also search the desensitized records for anything relevant to work on site.
