DataGuise, Inc. Introduces Groundbreaking, Cost-effective Compliance Solutions at Oracle OpenWorld 2007

New dg Solutions Suite helps enterprises limit liability by achieving compliance with critical regulations including PCI, SOX and HIPAA.

San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) November 1, 2007 -- DataGuise, innovator of data security and compliance solutions for enterprises, today announced that it is introducing the DataGuise dg Solutions Suite at Oracle OpenWorld 2007, taking place this week in San Francisco. The DataGuise dg Solutions Suite provides groundbreaking and cost-effective tools that help organizations achieve compliance with PCI (Payment Card Industry), SOX (Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002), HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996), and other critical rules and laws that regulate the safeguarding of confidential consumer data. Show attendees are encouraged to stop by DataGuise booth # 301 Moscone South for a demonstration of the dg Solutions Suite.

Comprised of three products: dgGuard, dgMasker, and dgGenerator; the DataGuise dg Solutions Suite enables enterprises to generate realistic test data and mask sensitive production and non-production data. The goal is to facilitate safe sharing with application development and QA groups, as well as third parties such as offshore developers. Because the consequences of failing to comply with applicable laws and regulations can be staggering, the dg Solutions Suite is a must-have for all enterprises.

"It is essential for every enterprise to defend itself against data theft and fraud, not only to limit liability, but also to protect the organization's credibility, consumer goodwill and profitability," commented Manmeet Singh, CEO, DataGuise. "By generating realistic test data and masking data residing in flat files and databases, the DataGuise dg Solutions Suite enables an enterprise to have an unfettered development process without exposing sensitive data that could prove devastating if it fell into the wrong hands."

Protecting Your Enterprise

dgGuard is the industry's first real-time data masking solution for databases. It offers the unique and highly useful capability of masking data in real-time production and non-production environments while the data is being accessed by users. Easily configurable preferences enable displaying real, unmasked data to users in certain roles, while masked data is displayed to others. Implementing dgGuard does not require making any changes to existing applications, and also offers the performance and scalability required to support large databases and applications.

Copying production data to a test environment keeps the production environment secure, but it does not do much in the way of protecting the data itself. Unscrupulous vendors or others with malicious intent can easily leak, misuse or steal the information. That's why DataGuise developed dgMasker and dgGenerator.

dgMasker is a user friendly solution that masks production data before it is moved to the test environment. For unsurpassed versatility, dgMasker is database agnostic and provides a variety of data alteration capabilities including shuffling (shuffles fields), replacement (replaces fields with user-defined patterns), scrubbing (erases data in fields), changing (alters values by user-defined amounts) and custom algorithms. Because the data's original state cannot be regenerated after the data is masked, absolute security is ensured.

A data generation solution, dgGenerator creates test data that fully conforms to the production database structure and schema. This enables application vendors and QA groups to test their applications against relevant data without posing any security or identity theft risk. dgGenerator can quickly and easily generate realistic data such as names, addresses, credit card numbers, dates and more. The data created by dgGenerator can be used for any type of application or database testing. Moreover, dgGenerator's command line feature facilitates integration with batch programs and applications.

The DataGuise dg Solutions Suite combines unsurpassed data protection with quick implementation, an easy to use interface requiring little or no training, and 24-7 worldwide support.
