With over 20 years of experience in data and analytics, he has held leadership roles at innovative companies across multiple industries. In this episode… Balancing data enablement with privacy compliance is vital for organizations aiming to use data effectively while maintaining trust and meeting regulatory requirements. Data enablement focuses on making data accessible, usable, and valuable to users across an organization while ensuring it remains secure and compliant. Regulated industries, such as healthcare, face significant challenges, including evolving privacy laws and managing re-identification risks tied to sensitive data. Without a strong privacy framework, businesses risk regulatory penalties, reputational damage, and missed opportunities for data-driven decision-making.  Effective data enablement relies on more than just technology — it requires governance and a thoughtful approach to privacy and compliance. By adopting privacy-enhancing technologies (PETs), such as tokenization, homomorphic encryption, data masking, and differential privacy, organizations can minimize risks and protect personal information while making data usable. However, these tools alone are not enough. Organizations need to implement data governance frameworks, assess re-identification risks, and balance data utility with regulatory requirements. By aligning compliance efforts with strategic business goals, organizations can unlock data potential without compromising privacy. In this episode of She Said Privacy/He Said Security, Jodi and Justin Daniels speak with Timothy Nobles, Chief Commercial Officer at Integral, about how organizations can embrace data enablement in regulated industries. Timothy discusses practical applications of privacy-enhancing technologies, strategies to mitigate re-identification risks, and the importance of starting with governance to guide data use. The conversation also highlights how companies can approach AI responsibly by focusing on understanding data inputs to ensure ethical and compliant outcomes.
