The Challenge

Government agencies responsible for managing public health data have encountered challenges in maintaining privacy and security over recent years. Concerns have been raised about data breaches, unauthorized access, and the potential use of personal health information for surveillance purposes.

Managing vast amounts of data while safeguarding privacy and security presents challenges for government agencies, particularly in the era of big data and digital transformation.

The Solution

Capsifi helps by providing a clear line of sight from relevant legislation and policies, through to the organizational controls that enforce them, ensuring that citizen privacy is protected. In this way, evidence of compliance becomes incidental, alleviating what is traditionally a resource-intensive and error-prone activity.

From a data perspective, information objects can be classified to identify their level of risk which may then be tracked through every system, process and role that is involved in handling that data, providing clear and indisputable lineage of data risk.

By using painpoints and business outcomes to classify the types and levels of risk that exist through the operating model, Capsifi can provide risk mitigation plans and pre-emptive action plans to reduce the chance of being caught unprepared in the event of a breach.

Here’s some practical ways the Capsifi platform can address and resolve these industry-wide challenges:

Establish a clear line of sight from legislation and policy to controls, business rules, and operating model elements
Establish a clear line of sight from legislation and policy to controls, initiatives, or projects, and epics (including costs)
Use data object risk classification based on various risk frameworks, with calculated attributes used to deduce the risk associated with operating model elements handling that data
Use business outcomes to suggest technology innovations to address risk pain points
