Details
IRI, a global leader in data management and protection software, announced powerful enhancements to its DarkShield product suite. The updated tool now supports major healthcare EDI formats, including HL7 and FHIR. This enables precise, repeatable masking capabilities for PII (Personally Identifiable Information) and PHI (Protected Health Information) within both structured and unstructured data. The new functionality allows users to classify and de-identify PHI fields in widely used healthcare data exchange formats. By extending these features across HL7, X12, and FHIR standards, IRI DarkShield ensures seamless, automated recognition of sensitive fields and segments in a single processing pass. This capability is crucial for maintaining data realism and consistency when applying masking methods across disparate formats in test or analytics environments. Beyond healthcare-specific formats, the portfolio covers a wide spectrum of enterprise data sources, including relational databases, semi-structured files (JSON/XML), and dark data (PDFs, images). Users can apply various functions—such as hashing, tokenization, pseudonymization, and redaction—from the IRI Workbench GUI. The solution helps organizations enforce data governance policies and demonstrate compliance with global privacy regulations like GDPR, HIPAA, and PCI DSS.
