AI Security and Compliance in Lifesciences
As the Head of Compliance at a leading lifesciences company, you understand the critical importance of safeguarding personal identifiable information (PII) in today’s complex digital landscape. With the emergence of agentic AI systems and the increasing reliance on AI technologies, ensuring the security and control of PII has become more challenging than ever before. This article aims to provide you with a comprehensive realizing of the types of PII and how Trustwise’s innovative solutions can help you mitigate the associated risks and protect sensitive data.
Personal Identifiable Information (PII)
Personal Identifiable Information (PII) encompasses a wide range of data that can be used to identify, contact, or locate an individual, either alone or in combination with other information. This includes but is not limited to:
– Names
– Social Security numbers
– Date of birth
– Biometric data
– Medical information
– Financial data
– Email addresses
– IP addresses
– Geolocation data
Knowing the various types of PII is crucial for implementing robust data protection measures and compliance protocols within your organization.
Types of PII
1. Sensitive PII: This category includes information such as Social Security numbers, driver’s license numbers, financial account numbers, and any other data that can be exploited for identity theft or fraud.
2. Personal Health Information (PHI): PHI consists of health records, medical history, and any information related to an individual’s physical or mental health. Safeguarding PHI is essential to comply with HIPAA regulations and maintain patient confidentiality.
3. Employment-Related Information: This encompasses employee records, including payroll data, performance reviews, and disciplinary actions. Protecting this data is essential to maintain the trust and privacy of your workforce.
4. Biometric Data: Biometric identifiers such as fingerprints, facial recognition data, and retinal scans are unique to individuals and require specialized protection to prevent unauthorized access and misuse.
5. Online and Behavioral Data: Information gathered from online activities, such as browsing history, social media interactions, and purchase behaviors, can reveal intricate details about an individual’s preferences and habits. Safeguarding this data is crucial to maintain consumer privacy and prevent exploitation.
