Our Customer

Crédit Agricole Leasing & Factoring (CAL&F) is a subsidiary of the Crédit Agricole Group, the world’s leading cooperative bank and France’s largest bank. CAL&F specializes in leasing, factoring and energy, and infrastructure financing.

Context

Data anonymization is an increasingly critical topic, particularly with the application of the European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). CAL&F’s anonymization project was initiated in response to several triggering factors.

Solution

A Request for Information (RFI) and a Request for Product (RFP) were launched to identify the solutions available on the market. CAL&F finally opted for ARCAD Software’s DOT Anonymizer solution after a conclusive proof of concept (POC).

Case Study Highlights

  • Company: Crédit Agricole Leasing & Factoring

  • Industry: Leasing, factoring and energy, and infrastructure financing.

  • Characteristics: CAL&F’s anonymization project must mainly meet the recommendations of security agencies (EMISA, ANSSI), the requirements of the RGPD, and Crédit Agricole’s security policy.

  • Challenge: Many benefits have been obtained through this project, but there are still several stages to go through: production start-up, continuous improvement, capacity extension, team training and awareness-raising, and impact monitoring and evaluation.

  • Solution: DOT Anonymizer

The 2-in-1 solution with a very friendly interface enabled data discovery and effective anonymization, meeting our complex needs.
