What can you do with Data Masking & Seeding tools?

Data Mask allows you to customize how you mask any data containing personally identifiable information (PII), depending on the sensitivity of the information, helping you avoid costly data privacy compliance fines. Data Seeding enables you to quickly seed quality data into any sandbox for development, training, or testing purposes.

Develop faster with realistic, relevant data

Streamline data seeding with reusable templates

Create precise seed data sets with customizable Seed Templates that allow you to filter specific records and replicate data relationships from production. Repeatedly seed any sandbox with your Seed Template to ensure your sandboxes have relevant, up-to-date data, making your development process more efficient.

Data Masking & Seeding FAQ

What is Data Masking?

Data masking is a process that modifies sensitive data and renders it useless to any insider threats, malicious or human error. Your data remains usable to you and your company and can be transmitted between systems and used inside and outside your production environments. Data masking tools involves generating a realistic replica of your organizations data. The duplicated data becomes the viable alternative for development, testing, or training, by safeguarding the original data and ensuring teams have access to only what is necessary.

What is Data Seeding?

Data seeding involves populating a database or data environment with initial, realistic data to ensure that systems are ready for development, testing, or training right from the start.

Why are data masking tools important?

Data masking tools play a pivotal role in safeguarding sensitive information within databases. Data masking is a crucial requirement within various regulations like HIPAA, CCPA, and FINRA, safeguarding Personally Identifiable Information (PII) from exposure. Masked data upholds both its structural format and integrity. This approach allows developers and testers access to the data without any risk of exposure.

Why are data seeding tools important?

Data seeding tools are essential for creating realistic datasets that enable your teams to test real production scenarios during development, significantly reducing bugs and enhancing the efficiency of your development process. They also accelerate training and onboarding by refreshing sandboxes, allowing new users to quickly familiarize themselves with new functionalities and boosting overall CRM adoption. With data seeding, you can ensure a smoother, more effective rollout and a more engaged user base.

How do I choose the right data masking & seeding tools?

Identify a solution that allows you to easily configure masking or seeding capabilities to fit your organizations requirements. The tools should improve team efficiency, instead of adding more steps to your development process, while protecting the security of your data.
