How can Datamaker™ protect your sensitive data records?
Interestingly, many organizations spend a lot of time and money securing their systems from external attacks, but approximately 70% of data breaches occur from within your organization. The majority of these data breaches occur from accidental loss of data or employee error.
Data masking is generally the first thought that comes to mind when thinking of sensitive data protection for use of data outside of your production environment. If the process of masking is done properly, data will be completely secure once it has left the production database for non-production activity. This can be achieved through Grid-Tools data masking and obfuscation module of GT Datamaker™. Grid-Tools also offer the ability to create synthetic data from scratch, with all of the business and referential integrity of production data. The flexibility of using multiple methods, either alone or in parallel, is a unique approach specific to Grid-Tools.
Many organizations are concerned about de-identifying or encrypting their data to comply with international laws like HIPAA, the PCI DSS, the DPA or SOX. These data protection laws are designed to protect the personal information of individuals. This is achieved by placing important restrictions on the ways in which an organization can use personally identifiable information (PII), which can include:
- The racial or ethnic origin of the data subject
- Political opinions
- Religious beliefs or other beliefs of a similar nature
- Trade union affiliations
- Physical, mental health or condition
- Sexual life
- The commission or alleged commission by him/her of any offence
- Social Security numbers
- Financial data or credit card numbers
Grid-Tools have experience in addressing international data regulations in many large and well-known organizations.
International Data Regulations
Organizations are faced with addressing compliance issues internationally, and the trend for more regulations and higher penalties shows no signs of abating. The PCI SSS, SOX, HIPAA, GLBA, European Union Data Protection Directive, Japanese Personal Information Act (JPIPA) and the British Data Protection Act are just some of the regulations putting presure on organizations.
