HOW TO ANONYMIZE AN EXCEL FILE IN SECONDS: FAST, ACCURATE AND GDPR-READY

What if your next data breach starts with an Excel file?

Because often, it doesn’t start with a cyberattack
It starts with a spreadsheet.

📂 That file with personal data shared via email
📊 That sheet with sensitive information and no protection
📥 Or that folder on Drive with more access than it should have

Excel: The file that holds (almost) everything

From legal teams to HR and marketing, these types of documents often contain:

  • Full names
  • National IDs or tax identifiers
  • Emails
  • Addresses
  • Banking or financial data

It’s not just inefficient — it’s risky.
All it takes is one exposed cell to break compliance.
