Identify PII , Confidential Data in Curam Data model for Data Anonymization and reporting purposes

For reasons including operations support and bug fixing, there is a need to always test updated code, scripts, DB scripts, Data upgrade scripts, data migration scripts, reports etc. against a "copy" of production data in a test environment.

But due to client confidentiality agreements and govt. policies in place, there are restrictions around bringing production data copy to a test env unless
the data is anonymized for the PII ( Personally Identifying Information) and any other confidential info (Ex: attachment or notes that might contain references to PII)
residing in the database.

There are tools in the market that allows one to anonymize the data or one can write own custom SQL scripts to do so.

While the tools/scripts can do the actual anonymization part bulk of the time is actually spend is to identify where in the 100s of tables and columns in the Curam framework PII info
is stored. To make matters worse some info is embedded inside XML files in a way that makes it very difficult to anonymize them.

It would be significant savings in time and effort if any PII/confidential data are marked as such in the Curam data model itself as part of the meta data. Additionally allowing customers also to mark
also do the same in their customizations as well in the data model.

This will help in a big way to reduce the effort in hunting down PII/confidential data and even allow to a certain degree to write scripts to automate data anonymization.
