consulting
The Competence Center supports researchers and universities, companies, and public institutions in sharing and using sensitive data safely. We tailor the following services to your data, your goals, and your legal context: anonymization, synthetic data generation, risk and utility assessment, and hands-on training.
data anonymization
We apply statistical disclosure control to person-related data so individuals stay protected while the data remains analytically useful.
synthetic data generation
To protect sensitive, personal information, we produce realistic synthetic datasets that mimic the statistical properties of your real data.
risk & utility assessment
We quantify both the disclosure risk and the analytical utility of anonymized or synthetic data, helping organizations demonstrate that their data use is compliant, defensible, and aligned with applicable data protection standards.
training & workshops
We run hands-on workshops on anonymization, synthetic data, and state-of-the-art open-source tools, adapted to your team's needs.
our open-source software
Our team has co-developed several extensive R packages for statistical confidentiality, synthetic data generation and record linkage:
We also work closely with the maintainers of related packages such as sdcTable and cellKey.
We are eager to customize these tools to fit your specific needs. Contact us to discuss your project.
