A data privacy tool has been developed to help ensure key datasets ‘ such as those tracking COVID-19 ‘ can be publicly shared with an extra layer of security for sensitive personal information. The tool assesses the risks to an individual’s data within any dataset; allowing targeted and effective protection mechanisms to be put in place. The early version of the tool is already being used by the NSW Government to analyse datasets tracking the spread of the pandemic since March 2020 and apply appropriate levels of protection before this data is released as open data.
