Our de-identification engine, ogham — named for Ireland's earliest alphabet — already detects PII at industry-leading recall and efficiency at enterprise scale. We are now extending our privacy engineering capabilities to build the next chapter: a dedicated anonymization capability that will allow Workday and its customers to set new industry-leading privacy standards.
If you want to help define how a global AI company earns the right to use sensitive data — responsibly, and at scale — we’d like to meet you.
