New integration extends enterprise-grade data processing and protection to modern lakehouse environments

January 12, 2026 - Melbourne, FL (EIN Presswire) - Innovative Routines International (IRI), Inc., a leading provider of data management and protection software, today announced that the IRI Voracity® platform and the IRI FieldShield® data masking tool within now support Azure Databricks Delta tables, enabling organizations to securely discover, mask, and manipulate sensitive data within modern lakehouse architectures.

With this enhancement, FieldShield users can now classify PHI in, and apply powerful data masking and transformation rules to, Delta Lake tables stored in Azure Data Lake Storage and managed through Azure Databricks—without sacrificing performance, reliability, or scalability.

Delta tables bring ACID transactions, schema enforcement, time travel, and high-performance analytics to data lakes. By adding native support for Delta tables, FieldShield ensures that sensitive data such as PII, PHI, and financial information remains protected while benefiting from the consistency and concurrency that Delta Lake provides.

“Enterprises are rapidly adopting Azure Databricks and Delta Lake to modernize their analytics platforms,” observed IRI Business Director Lisa Mangino. “By supporting Delta tables and their three-tier Unity Catalog metadata (catalog, schema, table), FieldShield can now locate and secure sensitive Databricks data across batch and streaming workloads while preserving the integrity and governance features that make Delta Lake so compelling.”

Key benefits of IRI support for Azure Databricks Delta tables include:

• Native masking of Delta Lake data without converting or exporting files
• Preservation of ACID transactions and schema enforcement during masking operations
• High-performance processing at scale for large analytical datasets
• Support for batch and streaming use cases in Databricks environments
• Centralized discovery and protection of sensitive data across the lakehouse

This capability strengthens IRI’s role in securing cloud-native analytics platforms, helping organizations meet regulatory and compliance requirements such as GDPR, HIPAA, PCI DSS, and CPRA, while accelerating data-driven initiatives.
