Data transformation techniques

  • Prepackaged data masking routines enable you to transform complex data elements such as credit card numbers, email addresses, and national identifiers, while retaining their contextual meaning. Integration with the Information Governance Catalog, provides 30 predefined data classifications and 30 predefined data privacy rules. You also have the ability to deploy masking as a service as part of a variety of database cloud offerings in BlueMix.

Data privacy components

  • There are three data privacy components; a stand-alone API providing a flexible, extensible means of accessing predefined and user developed data masking services, a data privacy application that provides a graphical user interface to mask data in CSV and XML files or a command line interface to mask data from a Hadoop environment, and user defined functions (UDFs) for databases that can be included in SQL scripts or statements to dynamically mask data within a database management system.

Compliance with data privacy laws

  • Optim Data Privacy can help organizations improve and meet compliance requirements with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA), Digital Due Process (DDP) requirements, Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA), the Safe Harbor requirements and Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS).

Format Preserving Encryption

  • Optim Data Privacy supports Format Preserving Encryption (FPE) and is based on the Advanced Encryption Standard 256-bit (AES-256) algorithm providing the capability to produce unique masked values that are extremely varied and without a discernible pattern. It offers repeatable masked values when using the same key and provides better security by allowing the user to define an encryption key.

Enterprise data masking solution

  • This single, scalable data masking solution integrates with commonly used applications, including Oracle E-Business Suite, PeopleSoft Enterprise, Siebel, JD Edwards EnterpriseOne, SAP and Amdocs CRM. It supports IBM DB2®, IMS™, Virtual Storage Access Method/Sequential (VSAM/SEQ), e-Adabas, Postgres, Informix, Oracle, Sybase, SQL Server and XML database technologies and works with Microsoft Windows, Unix, Linux and IBM z/OS® operating systems.

Predefined data privacy reports

  • Data privacy compliance reports can help you understand your organizations risk exposure. The predefined reports included with the Optim Data Privacy solution are the Data Masking Compliance Report, Data Masking Enforcement Report and the Statistics by Masking Status, Data Store, and Database Management Systems Report.
