GDPR-Compliant Data Processing Tool for Secure Cross-Border Analytics

digitalTestedTRL 5

Imagine you want to analyze medical records from five different countries without ever actually seeing the private names or addresses. This tool acts like a secure vault that lets you run calculations on locked data without needing the keys. It helps you find patterns in sensitive information while keeping the actual data invisible and safe.

The business problem

What needed solving

Companies cannot analyze sensitive cross-border data because current encryption tools are either too slow for large datasets or too complex for non-experts to configure while remaining GDPR compliant.

The solution

What was built

A scalable privacy-preserving system and a recommendation engine that suggests the best security settings based on data sensitivity and performance needs.

Who can put this to work

Healthcare
any
Target: Medical Research Organization

If you are a medical research organization dealing with fragmented patient records across borders — this project developed a privacy-preserving system that allows analysis of federated medical datasets without compromising patient anonymity.

Cybersecurity
enterprise
Target: Threat Intelligence Provider

If you are a threat intelligence provider dealing with sensitive computer logs from different organizations — this project developed a scalable tool that mitigates cyberattack impacts by analyzing logs while keeping the source data private.

Finance
SME
Target: FinTech Compliance Firm

If you are a FinTech compliance firm dealing with strict GDPR rules for cross-border data — this project developed a recommendation engine that suggests the best security settings based on the sensitivity of your financial data.
