Goal and impact
The anonymisation software is used to give substance to transparency, on the one hand, and the necessary protection of the individuals and companies to whom the documents relate, on the other.
Considerations
Zundert municipality faces various laws and regulations whereby the municipality actively discloses information on request. This information may contain privacy-sensitive information. In doing so, it is important that this information is anonymised. Manually anonymising data is a time-consuming task that also involves errors and data leaks. Octobox's software enables users to anonymise personal and confidential information themselves in an efficient manner.
Human intervention
The documents anonymised by means of the software can be checked by an employee afterwards. The employee determines whether the document has been correctly anonymised. The algorithm itself is retrained periodically.
Risk management
Risk is minimal because Octobox does not make decisions. Octobox makes a proposal for anonymising data and information. The municipality employee always does the final check whether a document is correctly anonymised.

Technical design
Smart features, such as set rules or templates, allow anonymisation on a document-by-document or bulk basis. In this way, the manner and degree of anonymisation of documents frequently used by the municipality can also be set by default. The software then uses pattern recognition and Natural Language Processing to look for names, addresses, dates of birth, specific set words, signatures or regular expressions (such as e-mail, IBAN, BSN). Octobox software recognises these and makes suggestions to mask or anonymise them fully automatically.
