Solution Features
The Privacy Analytics Platform extends the power of our core Eclipse software for structured data. The platform adds powerful capabilities for de-identification of unstructured data types, enables data governance, and optimizes workflows for information sharing.
Our software is unmatched in its breadth – across complex data types, formats, and use cases – and its depth of privacy protection options, which are easily configurable for flexibility and scale.
The Privacy Analytics Platform is a proven de-identification system, having protected trillions of structured data records, millions of image files, and millions of pages of dense clinical text. Our de-identification software and methods have undergone motivated intruder testing, including tests commissioned independently. Our software will transform all individual identifiers, such as names, age and zip code, to ensure you protect your subjects’ information.
The Privacy Analytics Platform comprises two key dimensions:

Technical Information
Seamless Cloud or On-Premises Integration:
Data security is important to you. That’s why we designed our de-identification software to run on your company’s infrastructure without our intervention. You can install the Privacy Analytics Platform, including Eclipse software, on-premises or in your secure private cloud (Azure, AWS, or Google Cloud). Our de-identification software requires no Internet or external data access, allowing you to operate in an airtight environment.
You can also use cloud-native cluster computing services like Amazon EMR or Azure Databricks to take advantage of on-demand resource allocation and auto-scaling, resulting in a better user experience at a lower cost. Our de-identification software also natively supports several cloud storage options and technologies.
For Azure users, we are an Advanced Specialization and prioritized partner available on the Azure Marketplace, enabling Azure clients to safely unlock value from protected data and benefit from eligibility for MACC retirement.
Data Protection and Security
The Privacy Analytics Platform embraces privacy and security by design, reading from input data, transforming in memory, and writing safe data into new tables/files on the output. Our core modules include enterprise security features such as data encryption in transit and at rest, integration with Active Directory, LDAP, Open ID, and granular permission management through role-based access control (RBAC). These safety measures will help protect the medical and health information and other data you are working with.
