Systems and methods for scrambling cells of a data structure

A system comprising:

• a memory device;
• and
• a processing device coupled to the memory device, the processing device to perform operations comprising:
• identifying an initial data structure storing data comprising a plurality of personal data records each associated with a corresponding unique personal identifier of a plurality of personal identifiers, wherein the initial data structure comprises a plurality of cells arranged within a plurality of rows and a plurality of columns of the initial data structure;
• creating a scrambled data structure in which each of the plurality of personal data records is disassociated from the corresponding unique personal identifier by rearranging each personal data record to a different row than a row containing the corresponding unique personal identifier in the initial data structure, and wherein the rearranging further comprises rearranging at least a subset of cells of the plurality of cells of the initial data structure such that each cell of the at least a subset of cells is located in a different column of the plurality of columns of the initial data structure;
• and
• responsive to receiving a user request of a user to access the data of the initial data structure, determining, based on a user privilege level of the user, whether to provide the user with access to the initial data structure or the scrambled data structure, wherein a different user privilege level is required to provide the user with access to the initial data structure than to provide the user with access to the scrambled data structure.

A non-transitory computer readable storage medium comprising instructions for a server that, when executed by a processing device, cause the processing device to perform operations comprising:

• identifying an initial data structure storing data comprising a plurality of personal data records each associated with a corresponding unique personal identifier of a plurality of personal identifiers, wherein the initial data structure comprises a plurality of cells arranged within a plurality of rows and a plurality of columns of the initial data structure;
• creating a scrambled data structure in which each of the plurality of personal data records is disassociated from the corresponding unique personal identifier by rearranging each personal data record to a different row than a row containing the corresponding unique personal identifier in the initial data structure, and wherein the rearranging further comprises rearranging at least a subset of cells of the plurality of cells of the initial data structure such that each cell of the at least a subset of cells is located in a different column of the plurality of columns of the initial data structure;
• and
• responsive to receiving a user request of a user to access the data of the initial data structure, determining, based on a user privilege level of the user, whether to provide the user with access to the initial data structure or the scrambled data structure, wherein a different user privilege level is required to provide the user with access to the initial data structure than to provide the user with access to the scrambled data structure.
