IXUP Limited announced that it has entered into an agreement with nib New Zealand Limited to trial the IXUP platform in New Zealand. Under the agreement, nib New Zealand will trial the IXUP platform for an initial one month period. The agreement's term may be extended by mutual agreement of the parties after successful completion of the trial. IXUP's privacy-preserving analytics platform helps organizations who require the highest assurance of data privacy, security and control to share and analyse sensitive data sets from multiple sources without ever exposing that data to another party. By enabling analytics on encrypted data, the residual risk faced by global enterprise and governments in gaining value from data are managed, without compromising the privacy or security of these organisations, their customers or partners. Data security is especially important in the health and insurance sectors in which the nature of the data itself is inherently private. The Company believes that analytics on encrypted data should become standard practice both when performing analytics within organizations and when collaborating with external parties across multiple data sets, to avoid losing control of or revealing identifiable data. Increasingly, Australian agencies, bodies and regulators such as the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission ACCC (and their global counterparts), along with transformative legislation such as the General Data Protection Regulation (EU GDPR) and the new California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) have been accentuating that companies must vastly improve the way they treat data and perform their analytics. IXUP agrees and has created an innovative solution that addresses this in Australia for the first time.
