Secure Test Data Against Breaches, Reach Compliance
Compuware’s Test Data Privacy solution leverages TopazВ® for Enterprise Data for a consistent, familiar and secure method to easily understand, mask and manage both test and production data across all environments.
Two core areas that increasingly require mainframe teams to implement a test data privacy solution for more secure test data are 1) data breach prevention and 2) compliance with data privacy laws.
Data Breach Prevention
During the application testing process, your customer information may be exposed to development teams, IT vendors and even third-party developers. Any accidental or malicious misuse of test data would be costly and reputation damaging. To counteract this, Test Data Privacy supports static data masking (SDM), enabling the masking or desensitization of personally identifiable information (PII) in data to mitigate the risk of breaches and misuse of production data in test, analytics or training environments.
Compliance with Data Privacy Laws
Using live data for testing creates risk because data used in test environments tends to be less secure. Data privacy regulations require that all data, whether used in production or test be secure. By using Test Data Privacy to apply consistent data disguise techniques across all environments, companies can address requirements to protect PII throughout the application testing process and comply with tightening data privacy laws and company policies.
To help mainframe teams improve these areas, Test Data Privacy provides a wide range of unique capabilities for ensuring test data is secure while remaining realistic.
