Tag HIPAA in Tableau

Tableau offers robust data visualization tools, but it doesn't possess the ability to directly mask or alter Protected Health Information (PHI) within the software itself. However, implementing a "HIPAA" tag on relevant workbooks and data sources can be a powerful strategy to enhance data security. Functioning as a clear warning sign, this tag immediately informs users that they're handling sensitive healthcare data. This awareness is particularly crucial for data governance teams. By monitoring usage patterns of HIPAA-tagged information, they can ensure only authorized personnel are accessing this critical data.

This tagging system fosters a general culture of data awareness within your organization. Everyone who interacts with the data will be alerted to its sensitive nature, promoting responsible handling practices. In essence, HIPAA tagging serves as a valuable first line of defense in safeguarding patient privacy.

Secoda provides integration with Tableau, allowing users to tag HIPAA through Secoda. An Automation in Secoda consists of Triggers and Actions. Triggers activate the workflow based on defined schedules, such as hourly, daily, or custom intervals. Actions in Secoda encompass various operations, including filtering and updating metadata. Users can stack multiple actions to create customized workflows that meet their team's requirements. One of the capabilities of Secoda's integration with Tableau is the ability to perform bulk updates to metadata.
