K-Anonymization (Using Fingerprint)

Sample data is processed during computation of k-anonymization policies

When a k-anonymization policy is applied to a data source, the columns targeted by the policy are queried under a fingerprinting process that generates rules enforcing k-anonymity. The results of this query, which may contain data that is subject to regulatory constraints such as GDPR or HIPAA, are stored in Immuta's metadata database.

The location of the metadata database depends on your deployment:

  • Self-managed Immuta deployment: The metadata database is located in the server where you have your external metadata database deployed.

  • SaaS Immuta deployment: The metadata database is located in the AWS global segment you have chosen to deploy Immuta.

To ensure this process does not violate your organization's data localization regulations, you need to first activate this masking policy type before you can use it in your Immuta tenant. To enable k-anonymization for your account, see the k-anonymization section on the app settings how-to guide.

K-Anonymization (by Specifying K)

Sample data is processed during computation of k-anonymization policies

When a k-anonymization policy is applied to a data source, the columns targeted by the policy are queried under a fingerprinting process that generates rules enforcing k-anonymity. The results of this query, which may contain data that is subject to regulatory constraints such as GDPR or HIPAA, are stored in Immuta's metadata database.

K-Anonymization (by Specifying Re-identification Probability)

Sample data is processed during computation of k-anonymization policies

When a k-anonymization policy is applied to a data source, the columns targeted by the policy are queried under a fingerprinting process that generates rules enforcing k-anonymity. The results of this query, which may contain data that is subject to regulatory constraints such as GDPR or HIPAA, are stored in Immuta's metadata database.

The location of the metadata database depends on your deployment:

Randomized Response

Sample data is processed during computation of randomized response policies

When a randomized response policy is applied to a data source, the columns targeted by the policy are queried under a fingerprinting process. To enforce the policy, Immuta generates and stores predicates and a list of allowed replacement values that may contain data that is subject to regulatory constraints (such as GDPR or HIPAA) in Immuta's metadata database.

The location of the metadata database depends on your deployment:

  • Self-managed Immuta deployment: The metadata database is located in the server where you have your external metadata database deployed.

  • SaaS Immuta deployment: The metadata database is located in the AWS global segment you have chosen to deploy Immuta.

To ensure this process does not violate your organization's data localization regulations, you need to first activate this masking policy type before you can use it in your Immuta tenant. To enable randomized response for your account, see the randomized response section on the app settings how-to guide.
