Data Masking

Business value

Data is the oil of the 21st century. Almost every company operation involves the handling of personal data on a daily basis. Data Protection Regulations prohibit the use of real sensitive personal data in non-production environments.

Personal data is any information that can be used to identify an individual, either directly or indirectly. Personal information such as names and email addresses is obvious. Personal data can include things like ethnicity, gender, biometric data, religious convictions, web cookies, and political attitudes.

A Microsoft Dynamics 365 Customer Engagement production database is practically copied by every company during an implementation or even in a live circumstance. As a result, real sensitive personal information will be visible in i.e. the contact entity, within for example a test environment. This is against Data Protection Regulations, and your organization should ensure that this sensitive information is anonymized or randomized in a proper way.

Our solution closes the functional gap between standard Microsoft Dynamics 365 and the process necessary to anonymize or randomize your sandbox data in a way that enables your organization to become compliant to for example GDPR.

This topic describes the functional changes that have been developed in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Customer Engagement for the solution HSO Data Masking.
