Executive Summary

The Challenge

The National Imaging Academy of Wales was struggling with manual, time-consuming anonymisation processes that were hindering their ability to share medical imaging data for research and training purposes. Their existing systems were inconsistent, prone to human error, and lacked comprehensive audit trails required for GDPR compliance.

The Solution

Pontiro implemented a comprehensive anonymisation platform that automated the entire process, integrated seamlessly with their existing NHS systems, and provided real-time processing capabilities. The solution included advanced PII detection, comprehensive audit trails, and scalable infrastructure.
