“Through our collaboration with Opaque, we are empowering companies to navigate complex data landscapes with confidence, ensuring that privacy remains a priority even as they advance their capabilities.”

The Challenge: Ensuring Data Privacy During AI Deployment

Trusted AI depends on trusted data. Companies manage huge amounts of personal, financial, and proprietary data. As the data grows, securely analyzing it becomes essential—not only for maintaining customer trust and complying with legal requirements but also for unlocking the full value of data for insights. However, analyzing sensitive data, especially when shared between multiple parties, is a challenge. Strict regulations and technological limitations make it hard to collaborate securely. Data silos within organizations add to the problem, making it difficult to share and analyze data across departments or external partners. This results in missed opportunities and prevents businesses from fully leveraging AI.In industries with heavy regulation, the need to maintain data security while using AI becomes even more critical. Accenture needed a way to harness the power of large datasets while ensuring innovation and security were not compromised.

The Solution: Secure AI for Complex Data Environments

To address these issues, Accenture partnered with Opaque, whose platform allows multiple organizations to share and analyze sensitive data securely. Opaque’s confidential AI technology ensures that data remains encrypted during processing, allowing organizations to collaborate without exposing or decrypting sensitive information. With this partnership, Accenture and its clients can confidently move AI projects into production, knowing that compliance and data security are maintained. This collaboration removes barriers that previously restricted the full use of valuable data.

“Our collaboration with Opaque has transformed how we support businesses in managing sensitive data. Using confidential AI technology, we are enabling companies to gain valuable insights and push the boundaries of what’s possible in a responsible and forward-thinking manner.”

Telecommunications: Improved Data Sharing and Cyber Threat Response.

Accenture works with leading telecommunications companies to help them share data securely across departments and with partners. Opaque’s secure multi-party computation (SMPC) technology allows these companies to perform computations on encrypted data without exposing sensitive information. By partnering with Opaque, Accenture enables telecom providers to collaborate securely on tasks like fraud prevention and network optimization. For example, multiple telecom companies can combine their data to detect patterns of fraudulent activity, while ensuring compliance with data privacy regulations and keeping proprietary information protected.

“At Accenture, our focus is on driving innovation while adhering to the highest standards of security and compliance. With confidential AI technology, we can help industries access and leverage sensitive data that was previously out of reach, all while preserving data sovereignty and privacy."
