How To Protect Customer Data within Your Datasets

Did you know that as of 2021, we now have a new process in place to help protect your data within the datasets you send to AGRIS support for testing?
 
The benefits are:

·       Maximize the ability to protect the privacy of personal information residing within your datasets.

Things to be aware of:

·       Once data is obscured, there is no going back to the original data. It is changed completely.

·       Greenstone will need to have an email stating that it is okay that we have this dataset.

To Obscure data in AGRIS before sending in a dataset:
Navigate to:
 
Utilities > Copy Dataset  

1.     Answer “Y” to Scramble “Sensitive Data”

2.     Send a compressed file of this newly copied dataset to support.

3.     This will obscure (replace with “X”) all the name/address info, name/address remarks, and banking information in Bank and Payroll.

To have SUPPORT obscure the data AFTER receiving the dataset:

1.     SUPPORT has a utility that can obscure the data while it is in compressed format.

2.     Send in compressed dataset and we will obscure the data in house.
