Regula Implements Personal Data Encryption Across Solutions to Ensure Privacy Compliance
In response to the growing demand for robust data protection, Regula, a global leader in identity verification solutions, has rolled out personal data encryption functionality across its entire suite of tools. This includes Regula Forensic Studio (RFS), the software powering its forensic analysis appliances. With this update, document experts can now protect sensitive personal information with a single click, ensuring compliance with tightening privacy regulations like GDPR, CCPA, and others—all without disrupting workflows.
This move highlights Regula’s commitment to helping organizations meet stringent data protection requirements while maintaining operational efficiency. Already available in the Regula Document Reader SDK, the personal data encryption feature is now integrated into RFS, making the entire Regula ecosystem—from real-time identity verification to in-depth forensic analysis—fully equipped with advanced privacy controls.
Meeting the Growing Demand for Compliance
Compliance with data protection regulations is no longer optional—it’s a critical business imperative. According to a recent international survey by Regula, 28% of companies cite regulatory compliance as the primary driver for adopting identity verification solutions. Among large enterprises, this figure rises to 35%, underscoring the increasing pressure on organizations to safeguard personal data.
The new encryption feature enables forensic professionals to blur or mask personally identifiable information (PII), such as names, photos, and ID numbers, directly within their workflows. This ensures sensitive data is handled responsibly, meeting the strictest international privacy standards while maintaining the speed and accuracy required for forensic analysis.
“Regula’s forensics tools are used by professionals who handle the most sensitive identity documents, so privacy and compliance cannot be overlooked,” said Ihar Kliashchou, Chief Technology Officer at Regula. “With one-click data encryption now integrated into our identity verification tools, experts can instantly anonymize personal information during analysis, enabling secure and compliant workflows for audits, training, or database creation, without sacrificing speed or accuracy.”
