How much time and cost will automated anonymization save compared to a manual process?

In a digital world where huge amounts of data are processed daily, anonymizing sensitive information is a key process for protecting personal data. However, traditional manual anonymization can be not only time-consuming, but also costly and error-prone. What are the main differences between manual and automated approaches, and how much time and resources can be saved with modern tools like MASKIT?

Problems with manual anonymization

Manual data anonymization is often inefficient and presents several key problems:

• Time-consuming – Each file must be individually reviewed and edited, which takes hours to days.

• High labor costs – Employees must spend a significant amount of time on manual tagging and editing.

• Risk of human error – Human anonymization is not 100% reliable and sensitive data can be overlooked.

• Low scalability – With larger volumes of data, manual anonymization is practically impossible.

How does automation save time and costs?

MASKIT, as an advanced anonymization solution, eliminates the most common disadvantages of the manual process and brings significant savings:

• Processing speed – Automated tools can anonymize hundreds to thousands of files in minutes.

• Lower operating costs – No need to allocate labor to routine and time-consuming tasks.

• Higher accuracy – AI models and OCR technologies ensure the detection of sensitive data with higher reliability than manual access.

• Scalability – Automated tools can handle huge volumes of data without losing performance.

Specific comparison of savings

Anonymization method	Average time per file	Accuracy	Cost per 1000 files
Manual anonymization	5–15 minutes	80%	High (labor force)
Automated anonymization (MASKIT)	<10 seconds	98%	Low (automation)

Conclusion

Automated data anonymization is a clear choice for organizations that want to save time, reduce costs, and increase the accuracy of sensitive data processing. MASKIT offers a modern technological solution that not only minimizes the risk of human error, but also allows companies to work more efficiently and in compliance with legal regulations. Switching to automation is an investment that will quickly pay off - try MASKIT and see how much time and costs you can save.
