Case Study: a large medical device distributor achieves GDPR- and HIPAA-compliant data sharing with Privacy Analytics

Large Company shares rich patient data compliantly with Privacy Analytics for GDPR and HIPAA

The customer, a large medical device distributor, needed to share valuable patient-level data with a partner company for product improvements and R&D while ensuring compliance with GDPR and HIPAA. Their challenge was to balance the high utility required by their partner with the need to ensure the individuals in the data were not identifiable. They engaged Privacy Analytics for its anonymization services.

Privacy Analytics performed a comprehensive evaluation of data identifiability, considering both statistical metrics and contextual factors like data recipient controls and motives. They developed a tailored anonymization strategy that maximized data utility for the partner's intended use. Following Privacy Analytics' recommendations, the customer can now confidently share rich, compliant reports, fully protecting patient privacy.
