Data may be the most important asset, and risk, that your company holds. It describes customers, products, transaction histories, and everything else that you run and plan in your business. This data can be in databases, files, spreadsheets, Hadoop, and cloud platforms. If you don't have the time or expertise to find and de-identify the personally identifiable information (PII) in those sources yourself, the sensitive data protection services we call IRI Data Masking as a Service (DMaaS) can help.

This since 2013, according to Breach Level Index. And, only 4% of these breaches were secure breaches where encrypted data was compromised or stolen.
IRI's professional Data Masking as a Service team can help you beat these odds. Our experts and technologies can find and protect sensitive data in most formats and silos ... on premise or in the cloud.
With the PII data protection solutions IRI offers through DMaaS, you can minimize risk and cost because you only pay for the data you need protected. We can do all, or some, of the work to classify, find, and mask that data. And we'll show your auditors the logs and masked targets that verify your data was protected and how it complies with privacy laws.
These data security compliance solutions include re-ID risk scoring for data privacy law compliance; specifically the HIPAA Expert Detemination Method security rule. See Risk Scoring Services below or this page for more information.
Relax knowing your data is secure. No specialized training or new staff is required. Just complete the form below and let's talk about how you'd like to protect your data at risk.
How IRI DMaaS Works
Step 1: We agree under NDA terms to classify, analyze, and report on the sensitive, at-risk data in these sources. We'll discuss an initial cost estimate then hone it with you during data discovery.
Step 2: Transfer the unprotected data to a secure on-premise or cloud-based staging area or provide remote, supervised access to IRI to the data sources(s) at issue. We'll use the tools in the award-winning IRI Data Protector suite to mask that data according to your business rules, on an ad hoc or recurring basis.
Step 3: Our experts can also move newly-masked data to incremental replicas in production or to lower non-production environments. From either, the data is now safe for analytic initiatives, development, testing, or training. Tell us if you need additional services, like re-ID risk scoring (expert determination) of the de-identified data.
This approach provides the benefits of proven data masking solution technology and services without the need to learn and customize new software from scratch. If you do want to use the software in-house, you will have everything pre-configured for easier long-term self-use and modification.
