IRI FieldShield® offers an effective and cost-efficient solution for the discovery and de-identification of sensitive data, such as PII, PHI, and PAN, across both structured and semi-structured data sources. With its user-friendly interface built on an Eclipse-based design platform, FieldShield allows users to perform classification, profiling, scanning, and static masking of data at rest. Additionally, the FieldShield SDK or a proxy-based application can be utilized for dynamic data masking, ensuring the security of data in motion. Typically, the process for masking relational databases and various flat file formats, including CSV, Excel, LDIF, and COBOL, involves a centralized classification system that enables global searches and automated masking techniques. This is achieved through methods like encryption, pseudonymization, and redaction, all designed to maintain realism and referential integrity in both production and testing environments. FieldShield can be employed to create sanitized test data, mitigate the impact of data breaches, or ensure compliance with regulations such as GDPR, HIPAA, PCI, PDPA, and PCI-DSS, among others. Users can perform audits through both machine-readable and human-readable search reports, job logs, and re-identification risk assessments. Furthermore, it offers the flexibility to mask data during the mapping process, and its capabilities can also be integrated into various IRI Voracity ETL functions, including federation, migration, replication, subsetting, and analytical operations. For database clones, FieldShield can be executed in conjunction with platforms like Windocks, Actifio, or Commvault, and it can even be triggered from CI/CD pipelines and applications, ensuring versatility in data management practices.

IRI offers a Data Masking as a Service solution that focuses on safeguarding personally identifiable information (PII). Initially, under a non-disclosure agreement, IRI commits to categorizing, assessing, and documenting the sensitive data within your systems. We will provide a preliminary cost estimate that can be refined collaboratively during the data discovery phase. Next, you will need to securely transfer the vulnerable data to a safe on-premise or cloud staging area, or alternatively, grant IRI remote, supervised access to the data sources in question. Utilizing the award-winning IRI Data Protector suite, we will mask the data in accordance with your specified business rules, whether on a one-time basis or routinely. In the final stage, our specialists can facilitate the transfer of the newly masked data to production replicas or to lower non-production environments, ensuring that the data is now secure for analytics, development, testing, or training purposes. Additionally, if required, we can offer extra services, such as re-identification risk assessments of the de-identified data. This method combines the advantages of established data masking technologies and services, eliminating the need for you to learn and tailor new software from the ground up. Moreover, should you decide to utilize the software internally, it will come fully configured to streamline long-term self-use and adaptation. By partnering with IRI, you can confidently navigate the complexities of data protection while focusing on your core business objectives.

Safyr® dramatically reduces the time, costs, and resources required for discovering ERP metadata by as much as 90%. Users looking to effectively utilize metadata from leading ERP and CRM platforms such as SAP, Salesforce, Oracle, and Microsoft encounter three major obstacles that they must overcome first. If these challenges are not resolved quickly, they can result in project delays, rising expenses, failed deliveries, and in the worst cases, project cancellations. After identifying the essential metadata for your project, it is vital to utilize it for establishing various environments, which could involve data cataloging, governance systems, enterprise metadata management, data warehouses, ETL processes, or data modeling tools. The core aim behind the creation of Safyr® was to enable users to significantly enhance the value they gain from their initiatives that utilize data from major ERP and CRM systems, by offering effective and economical solutions to these hurdles. By optimizing the metadata discovery process, Safyr® allows organizations to concentrate more on achieving their primary goals, rather than being hindered by technical challenges. Ultimately, this enhancement in efficiency can lead to more successful project outcomes, fostering innovation and growth within the organization.
