The best way to ensure data confidentiality across databases is to use data anonymization, which is a process of removing or modifying personal or sensitive data from a dataset so that it cannot be linked or attributed to a specific individual or entity. Data anonymization helps protect the privacy and security of the data subjects, as well as comply with the applicable data protection laws and regulations. Data anonymization can be achieved by using various techniques, such as masking, encryption, aggregation, generalization, perturbation, or synthetic data generation12.

The best way for an organization to ensure its vendors are complying with data privacy requirements defined in their contracts is to obtain independent assessments of the vendors’ data management processes, because this will provide an objective and reliable evaluation of the vendors’ privacy practices, policies, and controls. Independent assessments can be performed by external auditors, consultants, or certification bodies that have the expertise and credibility to verify the vendors’ compliance with the contractual obligations and expectations. Independent assessments can also help identify and address any privacy risks or gaps that may arise from the vendors’ processing of personal data12.
