About Course

Learn when data stops being personal data, and when it does not. Based on the ICO’s anonymisation guidance, this course explains the difference between anonymisation and pseudonymisation, the identifiability spectrum, the motivated intruder test, common techniques such as generalisation, masking, noise, hashing and tokenisation, and the governance needed to share data safely.
