We just launched Part 1 of our 3-part series on the #EDPB’s new guidance on #pseudonymization. From landmark EU cases to real-world impacts on databases & analytics, this is a must-read for anyone handling personal data. Check it out & stay tuned for Parts 2 & 3!

Torn between data security & actual usability? @nicksullivan.org’s latest article says you can have both.

It’s the Goldilocks of #DataProtection:
#SearchableEncryption, where data stays locked up, yet you can still get all the insights you need. "Just Right" 🐻

Our team welcomes the shift toward privacy-by-design and we hope to see more businesses embrace privacy-enhancing technologies to protect what matters most.

Blind Insight @getblindinsight.bsky.social · Mar 17

💡 While DP has known drawbacks, it can be a viable option for many use cases, and we’re pleased to see progress on this front.

Blind Insight takes the guidelines to an even more evolved position with our vision for encryption-in-use, where real-time analytics and robust privacy coexist.

❌ Expensive computational costs: In applications like recommendation systems, adding noise may lead to suboptimal user experiences, as recommendations or insights might not be as relevant.

The key challenge is striking the right balance between PRIVACY and UTILITY.

Blind Insight @getblindinsight.bsky.social · Mar 17

❌ Complexity of implementation: Implementing differential privacy correctly requires deep expertise in data privacy and security. Mistakes in implementation can lead to either over-protection (useless data) or under-protection (privacy leaks).

Blind Insight @getblindinsight.bsky.social · Mar 17

❌ Accuracy vs. Privacy trade-off: Adding “noise” to data to ensure privacy reduces the accuracy of results. The stronger the privacy guarantee (lower ε value), the more noise is required, which can degrade the usefulness of the data for analytics and machine learning.

Blind Insight @getblindinsight.bsky.social · Mar 17

✅ Strong theoretical guarantees: DP uses mathematically rigorous frameworks to protect individual data points in large datasets.

Blind Insight @getblindinsight.bsky.social · Mar 17

✅ Regulatory and Compliance alignment: DP aligns well with emerging data protection laws and privacy-by-design principles.

Blind Insight @getblindinsight.bsky.social · Mar 17

✅ Minimal exposure: “Noise” injection masks personal details while still allowing for generalized insights.

Blind Insight @getblindinsight.bsky.social · Mar 17

Differential privacy (DP) is a powerful framework for preserving user privacy in data analysis, but it comes with several trade-offs and downsides.

Now that the NIST guidelines have been released, let’s dig into some of the PROs ✅ and CONs ❌ of differential privacy (🧵):

Blind Insight @getblindinsight.bsky.social · Mar 17

At @getblindinsight.bsky.social, we believe that data-sharing shouldn’t force you to choose between innovation & privacy.

NIST’s differential privacy guidelines (NIST SP 800-226) aim to give organizations a safer path to collaborate on critical datasets without sacrificing sensitive information.

94% of enterprise buyers walk away from a deal due to security concerns.

Organizations w/ strong privacy guarantees see:

- 62% higher win rates
- Faster deal cycles
- 37% larger deal sizes

Companies that invest in privacy-first strategies are closing more deals & reducing friction in procurement.
