Abstract
The disclosed techniques provide systems and methods for anonymizing various portions of information, action logs, end-user information, and/or other data sets that are stored in non-indexed storage systems. More specifically, various anonymization procedures are described for redacting UII and/or replacing UII in raw data with randomly generated information (RGI). The anonymization process is performed on a rolling basis as raw data is received. An anonymization mapping table maps (or associates) the replaced UII in the anonymized data to the RGI, and eventually all raw data can be deleted.
