Key Features

Intuitive Interface: DataVeil offers a graphical user interface (GUI) that simplifies the process of selecting and applying data masks to the database schema. According to the vendor, this intuitive interface eliminates the need for manual entry of table and column names.

Preview Before & After Masked Values: Users can preview the original and masked values side-by-side without altering the original data. This feature allows users to verify the effectiveness of the masks, according to the vendor.

Consistent & Random Masking Options: DataVeil provides users with the option to mask original values consistently throughout the database or choose random mode for unique masked values on each run. The vendor states that this flexibility allows users to meet their specific masking requirements.

Partial Masking to Preserve Statistical Distributions: Many of DataVeil's masks support partial masking, preserving a portion of the original value to maintain the statistical distribution of the data after masking. According to the vendor, this feature ensures that the masked data retains its statistical characteristics.

Discovery: DataVeil includes a built-in discovery capability that utilizes advanced algorithms to detect sensitive data. The vendor claims that this feature provides superior detection results. Additionally, users can add their own detection patterns, according to the vendor.

The Randomize Mask: The Randomize mask in DataVeil is a versatile tool that replaces specific parts of a sensitive value while preserving others. According to the vendor, users can specify which parts of the value to mask or preserve, providing flexibility in masking sensitive data.

National Identifiers: DataVeil has built-in support to generate national identifiers such as the US Social Security Number and Canadian Social Insurance Number. According to the vendor, this feature simplifies the process of creating realistic masked data.

Use Your Own Substitution Data: Users can utilize their own data files as substitution data in DataVeil. The vendor states that DataVeil supports one or more columns from any standard CSV format file, allowing for greater customization.

Referential Integrity: DataVeil automatically maintains referential integrity for fields with defined dependencies within the database. Users can also add user-defined dependencies within a DataVeil project. According to the vendor, this feature ensures data consistency and accuracy.

Extensible: DataVeil offers the flexibility for users with specialized masking requirements to write and include their own masking code within a DataVeil project file or call their own functions on the DBMS. The vendor claims that this extensibility enables users to meet their specific masking needs.
