Abstract:
1. A computer-implemented method, the method comprising: receiving, at a scrubbing server, from a user device, and via a computer network, a request to scrub data containing (i) contents of a first database of confidential insurance account data and (ii) an indication of a category of data contained in the contents of the first database; verifying, by one or more processors, that the contents of the first database are valid based on the indication of the category of data contained in the contents of the first database; for each valid data contained in contents of the first database, scrubbing, by the one or more processors, the valid data using a scrubbing algorithm associated with the indicated category of data to generate a second database that contains no confidential data, wherein scrubbing i) causes each non-identical data value in the first database to be transformed to a unique value in the second database and ii) while preserving formatting, replaces confidential data contained in the contents of the first database with data that is not confidential; transmitting, from the scrubbing server, to the user device, and via the computer network, contents of the second database.
