Perform privacy-leakage and re-identification testing: Which control is most direct?
Synthetic origin does not establish anonymity; privacy leakage requires direct testing.
The question
A public-benefit eligibility model uses synthetic records. Accuracy, subgroup testing, provenance, lawful processing under GDPR Articles 5 and 6, access controls, and documentation are complete. No analysis has examined whether generated records preserve identifiable patterns or enable re-identification. Which control is most direct?

- Compare aggregate eligibility accuracy and error rates across beneficiary groups.Aggregate subgroup metrics address performance differences, not disclosure, memorization, or re-identification risk in generated records.
- Perform privacy-leakage and re-identification testing on outputs. ✓These tests directly examine whether generated records retain sensitive patterns or can be linked back to individuals.
- Increase synthetic-data coverage.More synthetic records may improve coverage but do not show that outputs avoid memorization, linkage, or re-identification.
- Document the generation method and source-data limitations.Documentation supports provenance and accountability but does not test whether generated records leak information or remain linkable.
The trap
Ask what evidence demonstrates non-disclosure; generation alone is not that evidence. How to remember it
