SACRO is a framework that applies best-practice principles-based statistical disclosure control (SDC) techniques on-the-fly as researchers conduct their analysis. SACRO is designed to assist human checkers rather than seeking to replace them as with current automated rules-based approaches. The ACRO package is a lightweight Python tool that sits over well-known analysis tools that produce outputs such as tables, plots, and statistical models. This package adds functionality to: automatically identify potentially disclosive outputs against a range of commonly used disclosure tests; apply optional disclosure mitigation strategies as requested; report reasons for applying SDC; and produce simple summary documents trusted research environment staff can use to streamline their workflow and maintain auditable records. This creates an explicit change in the dynamics so that SDC is something done with researchers rather than to them, and enables more efficient communication with checkers. A graphical user interface (SACRO-Viewer) supports human checkers by displaying the requested output and results of the checks in an immediately accessible format, highlighting identified issues, potential mitigation options, and tracking decisions made.
