Operating Assessments Without PII

Brilliant Assessments has a big investment in keeping your data secure, including being independently audited for our Security Processes.  Further information is here: Security Statement - Brilliant Assessments.

However, Brilliant Assessments can operate without any Personally Identifiable Information. (PII)

How it works.

• A respondent can follow a sharable link and complete the response.
• The shareable link can also be an anonymous cohort link which identifies which cohort the respondent belongs to and their role (maybe a 360 respondent or team member) but not any PII.  
• Individual reports can be downloaded on completion, or they can be included in Cohort reports.

The tradeoffs.

• If the person gets interrupted partway through there is no way to give them access again to complete the same response.
• Reminders can't be automatically sent to those who haven't completed their responses.
• We can not email them a copy of their report.
• Iterations cannot be automatically detected for individuals. Cohort Iterations will work with the same anonymous cohort link approach as above.

Mitigation.

One commonly used mitigation strategy is to have a question where the respondent enters a unique identifier, like an employee code.  Then, an Administrator or Assessment Manager can download a report with responses and:

• Send a link to an incomplete response outside the system.
• Identify who has responded, and manually remind the others, again outside the system.
• Email Reports that maybe the respondent didn't keep.
