Delphix, a data solutions provider, has announced the release of its Compliance Engine, a new software product that provides enhanced data security and governance capabilities to help companies comply with stringent regulations across a variety of industries.

With applications running on premises, in hosted facilities, and public clouds, companies have to secure data and processes within a dissolving perimeter. Delphix Compliance Engine combines data masking or de-identification with automated data delivery both within data centers and into the cloud.

Built on Agile Data Platform, the Compliance Engine features the following capabilities:

Agile Masking: Firms that handle sensitive customer or patient information need to minimize the risk of exposing confidential information in the event of breaches or leaks. Data continues to change in applications, so masking and data delivery must be continually repeated. Traditional masking solutions fail to manage the dynamic nature of masking and data delivery, which results in shelfware and data at risk. Agile Masking combines de-identification of confidential data with automatic delivery of data environments to downstream systems. 

Cloud Ready: Compliance Engine runs in Amazon Web Services, Cloud-based public cloud services, SunGard, IBM SoftLayer, and private clouds. With flexible engine-to-engine replication and 10x bandwidth efficiency in data delivery, Compliance Engine can deliver secure data from any location to any location.

Live Archive: Delphix captures point-in-time copies of full application stacks—application binaries, files, and database data—that can be preserved for audit or compliance requirements. Instead of maintaining expensive infrastructure to retain copies for regulatory purposes, Live Archive captures data and releases environments, dramatically reducing systems and management costs. When audit or regulatory demands arise, Delphix can deploy environments from Live Archive in minutes, with full data and application functionality.

Additionally, with Delphix TimeFlow, an integral part of the Agile Data Platform, customers can easily spin up scenario test environments at any time, branch as many environments as needed to handle unanticipated testing, quickly bookmark reporting data for later audits or compliance demands, and dial multiple environments back in time for data proof and reconciliation.
