ICO Recommends Privacy Enhancing Technologies

Subscribe to our newsletter

The Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) is recommending organisations start using privacy enhancing technologies (PETs) to share personal information safely, securely and anonymously. These types of technologies open unprecedented opportunities for organisations to harness the power of personal data through innovative and trustworthy applications, by allowing them to share, link and analyse people’s personal information without having access to it.

The ICO has launched new PETs guidance, which is aimed at data protection officers and others who are using large personal data sets in finance, healthcare, research, and central and local government.
