Data that looks
like real data

Utilize all data available within your applications and mask it so it looks like it was never changed. Employ real names, addresses, and banking information using look-up tables for authentic real-world data.

Consistent data masking across all platforms

XDM’s masking routines can be applied to various types of data, ranging from cloud storage solutions to relational database products and legacy VSAM clusters. This allows for consistent masking across all platforms.

Detect PII data

Scan your application data for PII, such as names and addresses, using dictionary and expression-based algorithms. These algorithms support common tasks as well as specific requirements.

Enforce masking

Centralized configuration on a data source ensures that all data is masked before being copied, enhancing security and compliance measures. Object-level, ACL-based permission management authorizes the configuration and modification of the masking setup.

Consistent masking across all data operations

Application data can be masked consistently, whether in-place, alongside bulk copies, or when sub-setting specific business objects.

Out-of-the-box
look-up tables and modification methods

XDM comes with preinstalled modification methods and look-up tables for names, multinational addresses with matching geolocation data, banking information, and more, enabling quick setup of a masking configuration in just a few hours. Hashing algorithms ensure a deterministic, non-reversible selection of entries in the look-up tables.

Create Your Own
Look-Up Tables and Modification Methods

You can also create individual look-up tables based on the original application data to address specific data scenarios in the masked data. JavaScript or Groovy scripts can also be used to create customized modification methods. Each row’s modification can be toggled based on the data in all columns of the row. Additionally, entire rows can be removed.

Customize Masking Divergence

The level of divergence from real-world data can be configured for all types of data. For example, should masked first names align with the gender of the person? Should addresses be located in the same city, state, or country? Should personal data of individuals from low-density regions be considered within a broader geographic region incl neighboring areas?

Customize Masking Divergence

Generate data
that feels real

Generate data using the row multiplication functionality of the masking engine. Create realistic data for single tables, services, or CSV files based on provided look-up tables. Construct complete test scenarios by multiplying business objects across multiple tables, generating new ID values, and maintaining referential integrity.

Collaborate Easily

XDM makes collaboration among different users easy by separating the implementation of individual modification methods from the assignment of personal information attributes. Data masking can then be applied in-place or during any data provision process.

Collaborate Easily

Audits

XDM provides overview reports on data provisioning and data masking. Effectively handle PII data across various test environments or at an individual level, including the option to selectively delete PII data for specific customers.
