Data masking and risk reduction

Applies masking techniques to transform sensitive information in applications, databases, and reports, reducing misuse and enhancing governance. It supports obfuscating and privatizing data across non-production environments to prevent unauthorized access.

Predefined rules and privacy compliance

The solution includes predefined data privacy classifications and rules to accelerate regulatory compliance efforts, such as HIPAA, GLBA, and PIPEDA. Compliance reports provide actionable insights into risk exposure and enforcement status.  

Testing with realistic masked data

Create secure testing sandboxes using fictionalized data that mirrors real business processes. Prepackaged data masking routines retain the contextual meaning of transformed data, ensuring quality testing outcomes.  

Advanced integration and encryption

Securely integrate with enterprise applications (including Oracle, PeopleSoft, IBM Db2). Utilizes FPE with AES-256 for masked values via user-defined keys. Stand-alone API and UDFs enable flexible, dynamic masking.
