Today Woodway Assurance unveiled EviData™ 2.0, featuring EviChat™, a new AI companion that enhances the user experience with EviData, its flagship software that enables responsible data use by automating privacy risk assessments for de-identified and synthetic datasets. Organizations need data to innovate, but analytics and AI projects can stall when teams cannot show their data has been properly de-identified. EviData generates a clear, independent report on a dataset’s re-identification risk mapped to recognized guidance and standards, including those from the Ontario Information and Privacy Commissioner and ISO. What once took weeks of manual, complex work by external consultants can be completed by a user in minutes. With EviChat now seamlessly built into that workflow, users can ask questions about their results and their interpretation, how to reduce risk, how to convert risk results into other practical deliverables, and continue to advance their projects.
