The issue is not whether there is value in de-identification but whether de-identification has been done properly so that data is truly anonymous. Not all de-identification practices are created equal.
An approach that uses the Expert Determination method, and that requires the expertise of individuals with knowledge of the statistical and scientific principles of de-identification, is the optimal approach. De-identification 401 will walk you through the process for establishing a solid, risk-based methodology.
Not all data de-identifications strategies are created equal. Read this whitepaper to find out how our risk-based Expert Determination methodology makes re-identification nearly impossible.
