Can CoSort Solutions Help You?

Security & Governance

Data represents risk. What are you doing to protect the private information in your databases and files? Are your security practices cumbersome or heavy-handed? Are you laboriously trying to strip out sensitive data or cutting off access to entire files, databases or disks just to protect one or more field values like a social security number? How separate, costly, or time-consuming are these tasks? With IRI's CoSort package, security can be built into data transformation and reporting:

IRI's CoSort and FieldShield tools are the only commercial-grade solution on Unix, Linux and Windows for field-level encryption (and other security functions like anonymization, de-identification, and pseudonymization) that protect specific fields in both flat files and tables. Read more about our integrated, targeted, and auditable security functions for data at rest, and in motion, here:

• Privacy Protection
• Field Protection
• The CoSort SortCL Tool
• The FieldShield Product

In addition to field-level privacy protections, our tools can help you create safe test data in real production formats. Read more about simultaneous or standalone data synthesis:

• Safe Test Data
• Test Data / Files
• The RowGen Product

Either way -- through the protection of real data or generation of realistic data -- you can render files safe for compliance and outsourcing.

Effective data governance goes far beyond the security aspects of data stewardship. See these links if you are interested in how CoSort can help you with

• Master Data Quality and Safety
• CDI Acceleration
• Metadata Preservation
• CobIT Support

Audit Requirements

It's not enough that your software and systems can map, transform, report, and protect your data. You may need to examine or prove what was done, when it was done, where it was done, and by whom. See how CoSort and FieldShield can help you with:

• Data & App Auditing
• Verifying Compliance

Data Processing Forensics

Dramatic changes in data values or record counts can be red flags that need to be caught automatically. CoSort SortCL job scripts, output reports, and log files can help you filter, capture, display and record data changes during batch runs through large files. For specific information, please see:

• CDC/Delta Reporting
• Data Forensics

IRI's white paper, called "Making Data Safe for Outsourcing and Compliance" also describes the challenges and solutions on this page, and lists how CoSort tools map to 24 of CobIT's 34 control objectives for good IT governance. Ask for it.
