Last week we released a new version of Cantabular with a big new feature: a disclosure rules language.
The disclosure rules language, or DRL, is a tool to help statisticians automate decisions about table publication which they might previously have made using manual analysis techniques. It does this by letting its users encode their own confidentiality rules in a language designed for this purpose.
It works with our API and user interfaces to automatically check requests for tables built from confidential datasets for disclosure risks such as identity disclosure, attribute disclosure and sparsity.

The Sensible Code Company is pleased to announce the appointment of Gerry O’Hanlon, former Director General Central Statistics Ireland, as a non executive director.
SensibleCode recently signed a £1.3 million contract with the UK Office for National Statistics, for Cantabular; data privacy technology that delivers real time statistical disclosure control.
Gerry O’Hanlon said …. “I am delighted to be joining The Sensible Code Company as a Non-Executive Director.

We’d planned a hack day at the Office for National Statistics for our work on Census 2021 towards the end of May. But the arrival of Covid-19 meant we had to pivot to making the event virtual.
The objective was to allow ONS data scientists and analysts the opportunity to road test an innovation that will happen when anonymised, high level Census 2021 data are released. It’s called flexible table builder and is powered by our software Cantabular.
Cantabular applies privacy protections as a query is processed in order to produce safe tables of aggregated data. …
The UK based Office for National Statistics has selected Cantabular to allow flexible dissemination for Census 2021 data. The UK Census is a significant project in both scale and budget (estimate for 2011 Census £482 million over a decade).
Cantabular is designed for organisations that want to share statistics derived from sensitive and potentially personally identifiable data, whilst protecting privacy. It is designed to modernise statistics.
Sensible Code decided to use the Go programming language (also known as Golang) to build the latest version of its product. The Cantabular team have been working on it for three years and found Go a great fit; almost everyone developing in Go at Sensible Code learned it on the project. …
The team at Sensible Code have been busy for a few years working on an innovative privacy preserving technology called Cantabular. This highly performant disclosure control algorithm protects data in real time as a user or reasearcher makes a query.

Statistics professionals within public sector agencies take great care in how they process and protect personal data and this is reflected in the trust and respect they enjoy from their customers and the public at large. #GDPR has thrown a further spotlight on governance around data confidentiality.
A significant increase in the number of new data sources and a drive to make use of admin data means more data is being processed and published. Getting data released as close as possible to their collection date results in higher value to the economy. Transparency and open data are also driving change. …
