DMsuite

DMsuite is the proprietary data masking tool by Axis Technology, LLC. With DMsuite you can profile, mask, audit, and manage your data in a standardized, automated manner. It represents a major advance in the evolution of data masking from a series of one-off scripts to a fully automated, trackable process.

Features

• Enterprise-level functionality and algorithms that are easily customized
• XML code and copybook generators to handle dynamic environments (mainframe and distributed). Code and generators are independent of the masking applicators (Informatica, DataStage, etc.)
• User interface that simplifies the management of masking rules, including a comprehensive view of a given environment

Implementation
DMsuite is typically applied in three phases:

 Phase I: Implement DMsuite

Customer data
The public expects this data to already be highly secured; any evidence to the contrary can damage your reputation.

 Phase II: Extend DMsuite

Employee data  
Employees assume this data is accessed as needed, and only by authorized individuals.

 Phase III: Optimize DMsuite

Company data
The risks of data that could disclose information through inference must be analyzed on a case-by-case basis, documented, and raised to security stakeholders.

• Mask surgically, not generally, to minimize impact
• Mask once with a proven architecture, not by quick scripting or with insufficient products
• Design for automation; don't rely on a manual update process
• Use a proven process; don't rely on product alone
