Written by Privacy Analytics | Sep 12, 2025 7:06:59 PM

Brian Rasquinha, Associate Director, Solution Architecture at Privacy Analytics, will be moderating a panel discussion on Pragmatic Statistical De-Identification. Guest panelists: Lauren Groebe, Associate General Counsel – Privacy, Cybersecurity & Digital, Baxter International, and John House, Executive Director, Science and Technology, Premier Applied Sciences.

Statistical approaches to de-identifying data, whether HIPAA’s Expert Determination method or other statistical assessments of identifiability, often form the core of an effort to manage identifiability. However, building a project, program, or business function around de-identification isn’t always straightforward. In this panel discussion, we’ll discuss experiences and lessons from standing up data de-identification initiatives from the contrasting perspectives of in-house legal, business leadership, and external privacy solution provider.

Discussion topics will include:

  • How to maximize the impact of statistical analysis of identifiability with strong business processes
  • Effective strategies for communicating the utility, impacts, and limitations of a statistical analysis of identifiability
  • Experiences balancing business needs and privacy constraints when approaching de-identification projects
