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. Developed as a collaboration between CSIRO’s Data61, the digital specialist arm of Australia’s national science agency, the NSW Government, the Australian Computer Society (ACS) and several other groups, the privacy tool assesses the risks to an individual’s data within any dataset; allowing targeted and effective protection mechanisms to be put in place.
