Personally identifiable information (PII), protected health information (PHI), credit card / primary account number (PAN), and other confidential data stored in databases (DB) and files are accessed by applications and used in testing. Whether at rest or in motion, proper stewardship of this data is required to avoid lawsuits, privacy law violations, and reputational damage.
What is FieldShield?
IRI FieldShield® is powerful and affordable data discovery and data masking software for PII, PHI, PI, CSI, CUI, etc. in structured and semi-structured sources, big and small. FieldShield utilities in Eclipse are used for profiling and de-identifying data at rest (static data masking), and the FieldShield SDK is used for securing data in motion (dynamic data masking).
See IRI CellShield for PII in Excel, and IRI DarkShield for semi-structured EDI files, unstructured text, NoSQL DBs, document and image files. FieldShield and all 'shield' tools in the IRI Data Protector suite are also included free within IRI Voracity data management platform subscriptions.
What does FieldShield do?
FieldShield classifies, searches, and shields PII and other sensitive values in structured databases and flat files with the data security governance industry's broadest array of data masking and anonymization functions. FieldShield statistically measures the likelihood that quasi-identifiers can re-identify someone. And, FieldShield generates rich audit logs to verify compliance.
FieldShield can nullify the effects of data breaches, and help you comply with U.S. data privacy laws like the CCPA, CIPSEA, FERPA, GLBA, HIPAA/HITECH, HMDA, MISMO, PCI DSS, and SOC2, plus the DPA, GDPR, IPDPC, KVKK, LGPD, PDPA, PIPEDA, DPDP Act, and POPI abroad.
FieldShield is the Best Way to:
- Connect to and protect PII in RDB tables and flat files, as well as ASN.1 and Excel
- Automatically scan and classify PII and then apply the same masks across sources
- Mask big data on existing systems without Hadoop, in-memory databases, or appliances
- Encrypt and de-ID PII without changing its appearance or losing access to non-sensitive data
- Determine the risk of re-ID and generalize quasi-identifiers so they are anonymous and useful
- Protect database clones at the moment they get created using Windocks, Actifio or Commvault
- Use auto-created audit logs, job diagrams and risk score reports to verify privacy law compliance
- Fold data masking into transformation, migration, replication, loading, federation, and analytic jobs
