Testing With Production Data is Rarely an Option
From the GDPR to CCPA, LGPR and PDPB, data privacy legislation globally is making it riskier than ever to use live data in non-production. Many organisations have already forbidden the use of raw production in testing and development. Those who are yet to find an alternative face growing technical and legislative complexity when seeking to avoid eye-watering fines for non-compliance.
Can you automate as quickly as EVERFI?
Is Your Testing and Development Compliant with Tightening Legislation?
Your testing and development might be subject to a range of national, international and extraterritorial legislation. Can you demonstrate that your teams are only using personal data in accord with all applicable legislative principles?

Law Bases for Processing
Can you demonstrate that you have a legitimate basis for using a person’s data in every test and piece of development?

Data Minimisation
Is the smallest possible volume of personal data being used, by the fewest people possible, and for the shortest period possible? Can you prove it?

Purpose Limitation
Can you prove that your testers and developers are only using data in accord with legitimate grounds for processing it, for instance based on explicit consent?

Right to Erasure / Be Forgotten
If asked, can you promptly find and erase every instance of a person’s data across your systems? What about on local machines?

Right to Data Portability
When asked, can you promptly find, copy and provide a copy of a person’s personal data in a format that is readable by them?

How Much Can You Risk?
How would your company handle fines of tens of millions of Euros, alongside the brand damage and customer churn associated with non-compliance?
A Hybrid Approach to Test Data Compliance
Most teams risk using production data in lower environments out of a perceived necessity, not by choice. Their data is poorly understood and complex. Many simply lack the time, tools and understanding needed to mask interrelated data, or create new data by hand. Yet, if you don’t understand your data, how can you find and delete it on demand, or prove that you have legitimate grounds for using it in testing?
The most reliable way to ensure test data compliance is to limit the spread of sensitive data across non-production. Test Data Automation provides an integrated toolset for removing sensitive data from development, while providing all the data needed to deliver better software, faster.
