Use Case Example

A financial services provider uses CellShield EE to protect customer data in Excel reports. Before presenting to external consultants, the company utilizes the automatic search function to scan all spreadsheets for sensitive information. The software identifies customer names, addresses, and account details. With just a few clicks, these details are pseudonymized, ensuring the data remains usable for analysis while safeguarding customer privacy. The automatic auditing function logs all changes, helping the company demonstrate its data protection practices when needed.

By implementing CellShield EE, the company effectively safeguards confidential information, maintains productivity, and strengthens customer trust.

Compatible with IRI FieldShield

The reversible functions supported in CellShield are compatible with those in IRI FieldShield (used for static or dynamic PII protection across various database and file sources). This means that the information protected in one tool can be securely revealed in another system through collaborative integration.
