Enterprise Data Masking™ - data security for non‐production enterprise environments

Achieve compliance by de-identifying your production data for use in testing and development

Enterprise Data Masking™ is a complete data masking suite powered by Grid-Tools' flagship test data management tool, Datamaker™. Enterprise Data Masking™ is a component-based solution, which offers users total flexibility in meeting the demands of their business needs and compliance.

At a glance:

• Complete data masking suite which supports all database types, mainframe, flat files and external data sources.
• Ensures compliance with all industry regulations such as HIPAA and GLBA (USA), the Data Protection Act (UK) and EU Data Protection Directive.
• Component-based, allowing flexibility in choosing data masking modules that meet the business needs.
• Future-proof and cost-effective solution which uses advanced technology to deliver higher quality test data and shorten the project lifecycle.
• Powered by Datamaker™, a complete test data management suite, which can support your needs for test data generation, if your data testing process evolve towards synthetic generation of data as opposed to masking of production data.

Why Enterprise Data Masking™?

As individual business needs, as well as industry-wide regulations, continue to evolve, it has become increasingly important to make sure that you have the 'right' test data to be both compliant and cost-effective. However, many companies are still paying license fees for products that no longer provide an adequate solution to their masking needs, or meet the compliance standards demanded by legislation and guidelines, including: HIPAA and GLBA (USA), the Data Protection Act (UK) and EU Data Protection Directive. Failure to meet these criteria means running the risk of heavy costs, either in time/budget overruns caused by inefficient testing or large fines for failing to meet compliance.

Enterprise Data Masking™ is designed to provide you with all the flexibility you need to provision fully compliant test data that meets the individual needs of your business. Using a component-based structure, including data masking and subsetting modules, Enterprise Data Masking™ allows you to select the tools that are most suited to your project, meaning you only pay for the tools that you actually need to use!

Enterprise Data Masking™fully supports all the major database types, as well as mainframe, flat file and other external data sources. This means that you can utilise itsindustrial-strength data masking functionality on almost any system. The built-in masking functions contained within Enterprise Data Masking™ are all totally automated, and ensure full referential and business integrity is maintained, meaning that your testers receive high-quality meaningful test data. Enterprise Data Masking™ is also fully version controlled, and stores all the masking rules and data in a central repository. Therefore, any changes or rules you set are all re-usable across the enterprise, as well as in future versions of your database. As a result, Enterprise Data Masking™ is a fully future-proof solution to all of your data masking needs. Subsequently, it can ensure long-term full regulatory compliance and greater efficiency in your data masking process, no matter where your business needs go!

Enterprise Data Masking™ engines

Enterprise Data Masking™ is a holistic data masking solution, designed to provide you with all the flexibility and functionality required to deliver meaningful, compliant test data that preserves referential and business integrity. Enterprise Data Masking™ consists of three powerful masking engines, which can be used in isolation, or in combination with each other and the Data Subset™ module:

• Simple Data Masking - a powerful, simple-to-use data masking engine which uses generic data drivers to support all major data sources
• Fast Data Masking - a powerful data masking engine which uses native database drivers to mask high volumes of data, from most major database types and all format flat files, at unrivalled speeds. Perfect for large-scale projects
• Mainframe Data Masking - a powerful data masking engine that uses a COBOL generator to provide for all your mainframe data masking needs
• Data Subset - enables users to create smaller versions of production data, whilst maintaining the referential integrity of the data
