Safely anonymising data in project testing
Sentinel provide comprehensive data consultancy support for IT projects, including the ability to safely use personal data in project testing phases.
Sentinel can support or lead on all aspects of a project's test data requirements from the initial analysis and profiling, any data scrambling / data anonymisation requirements (including reconciliation and compliance checking) or advising on test system setup and data transfer to protect real personal data where it must be used.
Our services are supported by our own Data Scrambling Utility, which has been designed to support any IT project that requires anonymised personal data, regardless of the systems and databases involved.
By selectively scrambling and moving the contents of every field, the Utility will ensure project testing phases are as realistic as possible, whilst ensuring they comply with the requirements of the Data Protection Act.
