The Cell Conceal add-in allows users to encrypt or redact sensitive information in the cells of an Excel spreadsheet. It is useful to hide customer data and comply with regulations such as GDPR, HIPAA, CPNI, COPPA, FACTA, FCRA, PCI DSS, and other Data Privacy Acts.

Cells can be concealed either through encryption or redaction.

Encryption

This allows users to conceal cell contents but also reveal those contents as needed.

Users choose what the encrypted cells will now display.

Encryption code (TVmATM4oDXyFxXJwCJgtiA===\)

User chosen text (Encrypted)

Masked Data (*******1234)

Users then supply a password that will be needed to decrypt the cells. Decrypting will return the cells to the original content.

Redaction

This permanently removes the contents of the selected cells and replaces them with a redacted text.
