SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill automates the process of encrypting sensitive data fields within a dataset, ensuring compliance with data privacy regulations like GDPR and CCPA.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Field-Level Encryption: Encrypts specific fields such as payment card information (PCI-DSS) and Personally Identifiable Information (PII) using AES-256-GCM.
  • Data Preservation: Preserves essential analytics-safe fields and extracts key identifiers (e.g., last four digits of a card, email domain) for continued usability.
  • Use Case: Securely process customer transactions by encrypting credit card numbers and PII while retaining the last four digits for reference and the email domain for segmentation.

Quick Start

Run the encrypt-data pipeline with sample data using the provided run script.

Frequently Asked Questions about expanso-encrypt-data

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I encrypt PII and payment card data for GDPR compliance?

Encrypt PII and payment card data for GDPR compliance by applying AES-256-GCM field-level encryption to sensitive dataset fields. The process secures specific columns like credit card numbers while preserving analytics-safe fields for continued usability.

What is field-level encryption and how does it preserve analytics-safe fields?

Field-level encryption secures specific sensitive columns using AES-256-GCM while extracting key identifiers like the last four digits of a card or email domain. This preserves analytics-safe fields, allowing continued data segmentation and reference without exposing full PII.

Do I need Expanso Edge to encrypt sensitive data fields?

Yes, you need Expanso Edge to run the data encryption pipeline. You must also configure specific environment variables for encryption keys before executing the provided scripts to ensure secure AES-256-GCM processing.

Can I retain the last four digits of a card after encrypting payment data?

Yes, encrypting payment data with this process automatically extracts and retains key identifiers like the last four digits of a credit card. This allows you to securely process transactions while keeping reference data accessible.

What's the best way to secure customer transaction datasets with PCI-DSS requirements?

Secure customer transaction datasets with PCI-DSS requirements by encrypting sensitive fields using AES-256-GCM. This approach encrypts payment card information at the field level while extracting email domains for segmentation and retaining card digits for reference.
