An apparatus comprises a network node, a random number generator, and a message generator to schedule transmission of a beacon message, wherein an administrative rule engine applies appropriate security safeguards to modify PII collection policies of the node. The node having an application collecting data to reside in at least one segregated data storage. The application comprises a distinguishing module, a de-identification module, an anonymization module, a minimum collection module, a minimum retention module, and a categorization module. The random number generator generates random times for transmitting the beacon message and for generating random channels for transmitting the beacon message. The message generator generates the beacon message, which includes dynamic configuration updates for the administrative rule engine, wherein the dynamic configuration updates comprises obligations to protect confidentiality, context of use, user assignments, permission assignments, role hierarchy relations, access authorizations, access restrictions, and job duties.
