Federate safely
Bitfount integrates seamlessly with Trusted Research Environments (TRE) or Secure Data Environments (SDE) to ensure governance requirements are met without limiting data utility. Easy to integrate, with strong support for all Five Safes.
A Privacy-Enhancing Backbone for Federated Data Infrastructure
Broad selection of built-in PETs
Built in support for a range of privacy-enhancing technologies including:
- Federated Learning
- Federated Execution
- Private SQL
- Differential Privacy
- Secure Multi-Party Computation (Secure Aggregation)
Easily mix and match to achieve the desired privacy guarantees.
Go beyond data access with usage controls
Full access to data is unnecessary, and fully-manual disclosure control doesn't scale. Bitfount's role-based usage controls allow you to minimise data exposure while meeting research needs and retaining full a full audit trail of access requests and analyses performed.
Built in pseudonymisation tools
Before connecting your data, apply optional pseudonymisation transformations such as redacting, replacing or encrypting names, dates, phone numbers, addresses and other personally identifiable information (PII)
Connect to modern and legacy systems
Bitfount supports all standard tabular and imagining data formats out of the box, as well as relational databases, DICOM images and some EHR systems. Plugin architecture enables easy integration with legacy or proprietary systems and data formats.
Create a Federated Data Network
Distribute analyses to be run across multiple federated environments in order to see the big picture and increase statistical power. Bitfount acts as a unifying connective tissue to unlock interoperability across disparate technical infrastructures.
Privacy-preserving AI and data science
In addition to support for standard statistical analyses and regressions, Bitfount has built-in support for training and deploying the latest AI/ML algorithms to drive innovative use-cases.
Single system, multiple interfaces
Interact with the Bitfount platform via code using the python SDK, or via the no-code interface of the Bitfount desktop application. The online Bitfount Hub also provides an always-available control centre for your federated network.
Bitfount and the Five Safes
Safe Data
Bitfount's process for connecting datasets and assigning privacy-preserving policies ensure researchers only have access to the appropriate data and cannot reasonably re-identify patients or citizens. Raw data is never accessible, and built-in pseudonymisation can be applied.
Safe Projects
Bitfount natively supports a concept of Projects, with easy to use tools for inviting collaborators, integrating terms, proposed tasks and project details.
Safe People
Bitfount's project and role based access controls allow access only to appropriate users. Integration with the TRE's identity provider enables TRE- specific requirements are also checked.
Safe Settings
Bitfount's project concept allows project owners to specify the tasks that can be run. Data custodians know that only appropriate settings can be used when accessing their data.
Safe Outputs
Usage controls constrain the nature of permissible analysis outputs. For additional peace of mind, enforce manual disclosure controls to allow manual inspection of outputs prior to their release.
