What is data masking?

Data masking of structured data is the process of de-identifying or obscuring specific data within a database table or column. This is done in order to hide and/or mask sensitive and private information. Once the data is masked, it can be used safely outside of production environments for testing, development and QA projects. Simple Data Masking™ algorithms are used across all tables so referential integrity is always maintained. The data is very much ‘like’ production data, but the data is completely de‐identified for use by the tester.

What types of systems is the Grid‐Tools data masking solution suitable for?

Simple Data Masking™ is suitable for organizations with a need to quickly and easily obfuscate or mask testing data across projects of all sizes, with multiple project requirements.
