Lack of rapid planning and execution
Complexity
Increased complexity of DataOps and security needs for effective solutions
Compliance
Potential fines, reputation damage and data loss
Data Preservation
-
Preserve important data characteristics so that your data remains functional but still anonymized.
Example 1: Format-Preserving Masking retains data structures, like American Express card format, for system validation without revealing actual card details.
-
Length: Amex card numbers typically have 15 digits, in contrast to most other credit card numbers, which have 16 digits.
-
Starting Digits: Amex numbers usually start with the digits "34" or "37." These initial numbers are called the Issuer Identification Number (IIN) or Bank Identification Number (BIN) and help identify the issuing institution.
Example 2: Luhn Algorithm Masking creates valid-looking numbers that pass the Luhn check, ensuring realistic, non-active data representation in systems.
Mask Consistently Across Different Data Sources
-
With multiple databases in an enterprise, it’s common to mask data separately in each database, which can lead to inconsistent masking and breaking of referential integrity.
-
ADM empowers you to mask important data consistently and with referential integrity in mind, saving time and boosting efficiency.
Example: An SSN such as 109-98-1767 (not real but adheres to the standard—109 shows it was issued in NY) can be masked as 109-00-5874 consistently across all other databases, files, and more.
Advanced, Customizable Algorithms Provide Unique Benefits
Case 1:
Category-Preserving Masking
ADM allows to you to mask information while maintaining important categories for your data
Example: Mask a user’s age with a fictional number that is still within the same age group as the original. A senior citizen will remain a senior citizen, and a teenager will remain a teenager.

Case 2:
Compound Masking
Compound masking allows you to mask unique, interconnected fields.
Example: If a first and last name are masked into new values, an original email address derived from the name will automatically be generated with the new values.

Case 3:
Synchronized Fields
ADM allows you to maintain related fields, so your data remains logical.
Example: When changing a user’s age, their birthday will also automatically adjust, maintaining continuity and logic.
