Libelle DataMasking

Automated Sensitive Data Anonymisation

Anonymise sensitive data in SAP® and Non-SAP® Systems

Libelle DataMasking

Libelle DataMasking automatically anonymises personal and sensitive data (Personally-Identifying Information) in SAP® and non-SAP®  non-production systems so that the data is no longer personal, but is still useable for testing and development. By passing the data through proprietary algorithms Libelle DataMasking changes the information into the same type of data enabling meaningful testing and analytics.

  • Mitigate the risk of damage from any external data breach of non-production systems
  • Fulfil the official requirements of general data protection, GDPR (or similar) within test systems.
  • Provide internal developers, test teams, and external consultants with full access to development and test system data without risk
  • Anonymise the same information in separate data systems in the same way 

"One aspect that spoke in favor of LDM was that the other solutions could only handle SAP environments, but we have other applications in use"

Libelle DataMasking

Speed Icon

Quick

The software works at the database level, anonymising up to 200,000 data entries per second. If that is not fast enough, tables can be anonymised in parallel.

Simple icon

Simple

The software comes standard with over 40 anonymisation algorithms and a reference database with defined target values. However, the software can be customised.

Realistic icon

Realistic

Original production data is transformed into realistic-looking and logically correct data. Test, train, and evaluate within non-production systems without risk.

Process Icon

Flexible

Access any common database and mask individual fields or complete databases. Common databases are recognized and anonymized across systems.

We selected the LDM product because it anonymizes not only the master data of the SAP test systems but also personal data in the specialist applications for the insurance business processes

How it Works

Libelle DataMasking anonymises real data by converting it to realistic, fictional data. You select the data, identify the fields, choose the irreversible algorithm, and the tool does the rest.  If anyone sees the data or steals the data, it will be meaningless and the real data is safe. 
1
Inspection

In the check phase, Libelle DataMasking checks target system is availability. For SAP environments, it also checks that the target system is not the production system. 

The remaining checks identify errors or fields that were not recognized for correction prior to the masking process.

2
Preparation

After a successful check, the system moves to pre-masking. Here, the supplied reference files are provided and the keys for anonymisation are generated. If necessary, backup tables can be created at this point. If the anonymisation doesn't run as planned for any reason, even after the pre-masking test run, the backup can be imported. This is an essential step before any first anonymisation.

3
Anonymisation

In the anon phase, the supplied and individually set anonymization algorithms are applied. These read the data from the non-production target system and anonymize it with the references provided. The result is realistic-looking and GDPR-compliant data

4
Review

In the last step, the post phase, it is checked whether the consistency of the data has been maintained, a final measure to obtain an optimal result. To give you a complete overview of the anonymization, Libelle DataMasking provides you with a comprehensive final report with all relevant information.
