Tag PHI in Airflow

Airflow, a popular workflow management tool, can be leveraged to ensure compliance with regulations like HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act) that protect sensitive patient data, known as PHI (Protected Health Information). This can be achieved by integrating Airflow with data security solutions like Secoda. By tagging data with PHI identifiers within Airflow automations, workflows can be triggered to anonymize or encrypt this data before further processing, ensuring patient privacy throughout the data pipeline.

The Airflow integration allows users to tag PHI (Protected Health Information) through Secoda. An Automation in Airflow consists of Triggers and Actions. Triggers activate the workflow based on specific schedules, such as hourly, daily, or custom intervals. Actions encompass various operations, including filtering and updating metadata. Users can stack actions to create customized workflows that meet their team's requirements. With Secoda, bulk updates to metadata can be performed in Airflow.

Secoda is an AI data governance platform that seamlessly integrates with Airflow. With Secoda, you can connect to all your data models, databases, warehouses, and BI systems, enabling easy access and utilization of data at scale. By consolidating your data catalog, lineage, documentation, and monitoring into a single data management platform, Secoda simplifies the process of finding and using data for both data and business stakeholders.
