Data Anonymization & Test Architect

Project overview

Context

The Digital Business Solutions (DBS) department of a company in the energy and distribution sector supports all business activities of the organization by ensuring efficient processes and an adapted information system, in line with the evolution of needs and technologies.

This organization wishes to adopt an integrated strategy for the secure, compliant, and efficient use of structured and unstructured data in test, development, and more generally non-production environments. It is looking for an experienced architect to map existing data flows, analyze the needs of internal and external stakeholders, and build a sustainable anonymization and test data management strategy.

The expected deliverable is a set of concrete technical and functional requirements, which will serve as the basis for a purchasing specification and a potential market consultation from early 2027.
