Innovative Routines International (IRI), Inc. expands its data protection features in the DarkShield data masking package to include enhanced PHI de-identification for healthcare EDI files in HL7, X12, and FHIR formats.

Melbourne, Florida, United States, February 6, 2025 — Innovative Routines International (IRI), Inc., also known as The CoSort Company, has expanded the capabilities of its DarkShield data masking package to support detailed data discovery and de-identification for healthcare EDI files. These enhancements facilitate granular protection of Protected Health Information (PHI) across HL7, X12, and FHIR file formats, crucial for healthcare data handlers.

The integration of new job wizards in DarkShield allows users to specify PHI within these healthcare data exchanges, granting precise control over data segments and ensuring consistent masking practices. This enhancement is part of IRI’s commitment to providing robust data masking tools that address the complex requirements of data privacy in the healthcare sector.

A spokesperson stated,”Our latest update allows DarkShield users to efficiently identify and mask PHI across various EDI formats without extensive manual input. This streamlined approach reduces the time required for data protection tasks, ensuring that sensitive information is handled securely and efficiently.”

HL7 files, which are pivotal for clinical and administrative data communication in healthcare, along with X12 and FHIR formats, represent a significant portion of data exchanged in the healthcare industry. The added functionality in DarkShield not only supports compliance with healthcare privacy regulations but also maintains data integrity by applying consistent masking techniques across different data types.

The tool is designed to operate on customer hardware via graphical user interface (GUI), command line interface (CLI), and application programming interface (API) modes, ensuring flexibility and control for enterprise data governance needs.
