Personal data destruction

InsuranceSuite application supports destruction of personal data through obfuscation, permanently making data unreadable to meet on-demand or scheduled regulatory requirements. Data destruction and obfuscation rules can be configured in Guidewire Studio.

Note: The data destruction features described in these topics provide a set of features that help enable insurers to comply with some of their data destruction requirements. These requirements may be driven by insurers’ policies and practices, as well as by their interpretation of various regulatory requirements. For example, such regulatory requirements may come from the European Union General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) or the New York State Cybersecurity Requirements for Financial Services Companies law.

InsuranceSuite application supports destruction of some kinds of data. Destruction can mean either purging the data completely from the database or it can mean obfuscating data, making the original contents permanently unreadable.

Guidewire recognizes the need for insurers to be able to destroy personal information both on an on-demand basis or on a time-based basis. Destruction can be mandated by regulation or business practices, within the requirements of regulation, codes of conduct, or other business practices.
