Technical design

Smart features, such as set rules or templates, make it possible to anonymise on a per-document or bulk basis. In this way, the method and degree of anonymisation of commonly used (standard) documents can also be set. The software then uses pattern recognition and Natural Language Processing to search for names, addresses, dates of birth, specific set words, signatures or regular expressions (such as e-mail, IBAN, BSN). The DataMask software recognises these and makes suggestions to mask or anonymise them fully automatically.
