Achieve data privacy compliance with DataMasque

Risk, privacy and compliance officers face a common dilemma: development, data and analytics teams need realistic data, but regulations restrict the use of personal information in non-production environments. DataMasque bridges this gap with irreversible masking that preserves data utility while meeting regulatory requirements.

Sensitive information such as healthcare records, financial transactions and personal details requires careful management. DataMasque can irreversibly mask this sensitive data, creating synthetically identical customer data that removes PII, PHI and PCI - ensuring you confidently meet data privacy compliance requirements.

Data masking for compliance

GDPR

DataMasque supports GDPR compliance by replacing personal data with synthetically identical alternatives. This satisfies the data minimization requirement (Article 5(1)(c)) and pseudonymization (Article 4(5)), removing the need for separate consent when using data in non-production environments.

DataMasque helps organizations comply with GDPR’s data minimization principle by ensuring that only the essential personal data needed for processing is retained, enabling businesses to limit the exposure of sensitive information.

HIPAA

DataMasque masks all 18 HIPAA-defined PHI identifiers (names, dates, geographic data, phone numbers and email addresses) before data enters development or research environments, ensuring non-production systems remain outside HIPAA's regulatory scope.

With DataMasque, healthcare organizations can meet HIPAA requirements by anonymizing patient data, ensuring that sensitive health information remains protected during development and research.

CCPA

DataMasque prevents California residents' personal information from flowing into non-production environments, reducing California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) exposure and supporting the right to deletion by minimizing the scope of reportable data holdings.

DataMasque helps businesses comply with the CCPA by helping prevent the exposure of personal information.

ISO27001

DataMasque helps organizations meet ISO 27001 Annex A Control A.8.11 (Data Masking), introduced in the 2022 revision of the standard, which explicitly requires organizations to mask personal data when it is used in non-production systems.

Australian Privacy Act

DataMasque supports compliance with the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs) by de-identifying data so individuals cannot be re-identified, satisfying APP 6 (secondary use of personal information) and APP 11 (security of personal information).

Law 25 (Quebec)

DataMasque helps organizations meet Quebec's Law 25 (Bill 64) requirements by ensuring personal information in non-production systems is anonymized to a standard that prevents re-identification, consistent with the Act's definition of anonymous information.

DataMasque supports compliance by ensuring that personal information is adequately protected, allowing organizations to process data for analysis and testing without compromising individual privacy rights.
