Data Masking
What Is Data Masking?

Mask, Redact, Obfuscate. What do these terms mean for you and your business? What does Data Masking mean for you?

 

Data Masking - secure sensitive data at all levels

Data Masking with DMsuite by Axis Technology, LLC.

Data masking secures development and quality assurance environments by removing confidential data and replacing it with usable, fictitious data. Encryption is NOT data masking. When you mask your data, you are protecting it, at all levels!  An effective data masking product efficiently takes data from production environments and intelligently masks only the sensitive elements so the masked data is still useful and the risk of a data breach is eliminated.

 

Data Masking FLow

Starting in 2002 with the California data privacy law CA 1386 until recently with the Massachusetts data privacy law MGL 93H, companies are being required to protect customer data and have a data privacy policy in place. Inefficient or non-existent Data Privacy programs result in inconsistent, incomplete, and overlapping use of resources (people, processes, and tools) to meet data privacy objectives. You need a data masking program that you can trust—DMsuite, the original, premier data masking solution!

Stay out of the newspapers

We’ve all seen what happens when companies don’t protect their data and fall short of their data masking objectives.  You simply can’t afford the loss of confidence that comes with a loss of private information.  To make matters even more urgent, many states are enacting legislation that imposes criminal penalties on companies that do not protect (or mask) their customer data.
