DataMasque partners with Guidewire, bringing its data masking technology to insurers

New Guidewire Marketplace data masking solution gives P&C insurers fast and safe test data without introducing compliance risk.

AUCKLAND, New Zealand – 23 October 2026 – DataMasque, the de-identification and synthetic data platform, today announced the release of its Guidewire-validated data masking extension on Guidewire Marketplace. 

Designed to help Property and Casualty (P&C) insurers protect sensitive policyholder information without slowing software development, the extension enables Guidewire Cloud customers to onboard DataMasque’s high-performance masking engine on Amazon Web Services (AWS). 

A complete toolkit for test data privacy 

Modern insurers require realistic policyholder and claims data to develop digital experiences, enhance analytics, and power AI experimentation. However, using live production data outside secure environments introduces significant privacy and compliance risks.

The Guidewire Marketplace extension bridges this gap by providing insurers with pre-built, YAML-based masking rulesets specifically tailored for Guidewire ClaimCenter, PolicyCenter, and BillingCenter. The package also includes polished reference architecture diagrams showing secure data flows, infrastructure-as-code templates for one-click AWS deployment, and executive collateral detailing the business value of automated data governance.

Simple procurement and self-service cloud deployment

Through this integrated workflow, insurance engineering teams can go directly from download to producing fully masked, high-fidelity copies of their Guidewire database snapshots.

Insurers start by downloading the data masking artefacts directly from Guidewire Marketplace to review the architecture and pre-configured masking rulesets. After obtaining a DataMasque licence via the AWS Marketplace, teams can self-deploy the masking engine into their own AWS environment using the provided templates and step-by-step guidance, ensuring sensitive policyholder data never leaves their control.

“Seventy to eighty per cent of an organisation’s data footprint lives outside production environments,” said Grant de Leeuw, Co-Founder and CEO of DataMasque. “By providing pre-built masking rulesets and deployment templates for Guidewire Cloud, we ensure insurers no longer have to choose between innovation and data protection. Engineering teams can now turn raw database snapshots into safe, realistic test data in minutes.”

Guidewire Connections 2026 attendees can visit the DataMasque booth #PD-B4 to view live demonstrations of the extension and discuss data privacy strategies for Guidewire Cloud implementations.
