Abstract
This disclosure relates to a method and system for data scrubbing in very-large-databases (VLDB) within regulated industries. The method involves segmenting a copy of a production database into manageable chunks based on row identifiers, allowing for parallel processing without database contention. Each chunk is processed by concurrently executing instances of a data scrubbing component, which replaces sensitive data with anonymous data of the same type using specified scrubbing algorithms. The system ensures that scrubbed data maintains the same structure and statistical properties as the original data while preventing the restoration of sensitive information. The process is meticulously documented to meet regulatory standards and facilitate audits, making it a robust solution for data scrubbing in environments with stringent compliance requirements.
