BizDataX

BizDataX is a tool specifically designed to mask sensitive user data. It allows IT departments to create databases for non-production purposes, such as testing, product development, marketing, training, and other secondary environments. Thanks to the functions within the tool, users can create secondary data that is compliant with data protection policies such as GDPR, PCI DSS, HIPAA, etc. The tool itself provides complete data masking support and various core functionalities for different business environments:

- Discovery of sensitive data in legacy databases and tables
- Specification of masking rules using masking algorithms (name, address, credit card numbers, social security numbers and many more)
- Database and file masking
- Synthetic data generation in case production data is not available
- Data subsetting for creating smaller and fully functional testing databases

Important aspects like format preserving masking and referential integrity are built in the tool. BizDataX can handle huge amounts of data stored in Oracle, DB2, MS SQL or Informix relational databases, says the vendor. The tool could also be used to process CSV, positional or XML files. With processing speeds of around 1 billion records per hour, even the clones of large databases can be processed in reasonable time. Clients pay only for the services they need, without buying a larger suite of products first, such as ETL tools.
