Curiosity Software

The Fastest Data Masking Engine in the Industry

Speed and security don't have to be enemies. Get compliant test data at the pace your CI/CD pipeline demands.

Explore how it works

The Problem

Modern software delivery is fast. Your masking shouldn't be the bottleneck.

Populating your lower environments with masked and anonymised data is a key strategy for most organizations. The time taken to populate consistently masked data to lower environments is often a significant hinderance to effective development strategies.

Masked Data in certain environments needs to be consistent and date appropriate. If the data is too old, it ceases to be useful for a large number of tests and if data doesn’t match with upstream and downstream systems time is wasted trying to repair or synchronise data.

Legacy masking tools and homegrown scripts are slow, fragile and they don't scale. As your architectures evolves, your masking breaks. You end up maintaining sprawling libraries of custom scripts across disparate systems, each one behaving slightly differently. That's not just slow. That's a compliance nightmare.

Why Curiosity's Different

AI-Driven Discovery Built In

We continuously scan your entire data landscape looking for PII and commercially sensitive data. Most masking strategies are not kept up to date creating significant compliance risk. Masking data can be complex and the importance of identifying subtle issues as well as invalid data is critical to a successful masking strategy.

Consistency Across Complex Environments

Data is masked deterministically i.e. same value, same result, every time. We ensure that data matches and is functional no matter where the data initially enters the systems. We provide software that can mask Mainframes and Legacy applications, files, databases, ERPs as well as data “in-flight” as data moves through your applications.

Masking Data Tools

The practical details of masking are numerous and subtle. Masking projects often spiral into complex projects with multiple delays and rewrites. We provide all the supporting tools to help you with the detail of masking, including Managing tables with no primary keys; Identifying invalid data; Managing foreign keys, indexes and triggers etc.The Masking engine automatically partitions large tables and runs multiple masks in parallel ensuring maximum throughput and also provides restartability of jobs if problems occur

Pragmatic and Nimble Tools

We also subset, clone and enhance data in addition to traditional masking. You don't just have to refresh entire databases. We can mask a right-sized slice of production to quickly spin up test environments in minutes, not days. This mixed approach allows teams to easily create solutions to multiple types of data requirements, from bug recreation, integration testing and outsourcing.

Compliance at the Core

The combination of continuous scanning, custom masking, encrypted audit trails provide you with a secure privacy framework. The uses of data for training AI as well the ever growing regulatory and evolving data risks means you need a high-quality compliance driven masking engine.

rows per second as standard

We can mask billions of rows of data in databases, some cloud platforms such as Snowflake deliver even higher throughput. This isn't theoretical. This is what happens when you design for scale.

Data environments that refresh at the speed of your development pipeline. No more waiting. No more choosing between security and velocity.

What You Actually Get

Your testing team gets production-quality data that's fully anonymised and compliant. Your security team gets encrypted audit trails proving every masking action. Your architects get federated consistency across the entire tech stack. Your DevOps team gets data delivery that keeps pace with releases.

And you eliminate the manual, error-prone process that's been draining hours from QA.

Why This Matters Right Now

The volume of legislation, data fines and data leakage are increasing every day. Organizations need to audit what they are currently doing to come up with a pragmatic strategy to improve and keep pace with change. Data is everyone’s responsibility solving these issues is a fundamental problem for companies to solve.

Curiosity can help with continuous deep data scanning and high performance masing as well as an array of supporting data tools to drive better compliance and faster development.
