-- In a move to bolster privacy in electronic data interchange (EDI), IRI has refined its technology to better manage protected health information (PHI). This advancement allows healthcare and business partners to process and exchange critical data securely with greater efficiency and with less risk of data breach.
DarkShield features unique job wizards designed specifically for healthcare EDI files, enabling users to easily identify and mask PHI within HL7, X12, and FHIR formatted data. These wizards facilitate the definition and consistent masking of data classes, ensuring sensitive information is handled securely across various data systems.
"The inclusion of HL7, X12, and FHIR formats into DarkShield’s capabilities extends our commitment to providing robust data protection solutions," explained a spokesperson of IRI. "These wizards not only simplify the previously complex processes of data masking but also enhance our test data management tools by automating PHI identification and masking in a single operation. This significantly reduces the time and input required from our users, streamlining their data security efforts."
HL7 files, essential for clinical and administrative data communication in healthcare, can now be securely managed with IRI’s HL7 data classification and masking wizard. Similarly, the X12 standard, which is pivotal in the exchange of business documents including healthcare claims, benefits from the DarkShield X12 wizard. FHIR files, representing a newer format for healthcare information, are also supported, with a dedicated FHIR wizard available for data handling.
By integrating these capabilities into the IRI Workbench GUI, DarkShield ensures that PHI data classes receive consistent definitions and masking rules. This approach not only protects sensitive information but also preserves data and referential integrity, allowing for secure data joins and analytics post-masking.
DarkShield stands out as a comprehensive solution for data classification, discovery, and masking, handling data across structured, semi-structured, and unstructured sources both on-premise and in the cloud. Unlike SaaS solutions, DarkShield operates directly on customer hardware through GUI, CLI, and API modes, incorporating AI models for advanced data identification and a variety of data masking functions.
This enhancement to DarkShield aligns with the growing need for advanced test data management tools in sectors handling sensitive data. Organizations looking to maintain compliance and secure their data handling processes will find IRI’s updated offerings to be integral in managing PHI effectively.
IRI’s dedication to advancing data management technology reflects its commitment to adapting to the evolving needs of global enterprises and the public sector, securing its position as a leader in the data masking market and a pioneer in test data tools for various data environments.
