IRI FieldShield

Data Masking, De-identification, Encryption, and More

Personal Identifiable Information (PII), Protected Health Information (PHI), Credit Card/Primary Account Number (PAN), and other sensitive data stored in databases (DBs) and files are retrieved by applications and used for testing. Whether at rest or in motion, proper management of this data is required to avoid lawsuits, data breaches, and reputational damage.

What is FieldShield?

IRI FieldShield® is a powerful and cost-effective software for Data Recognition and –masking of PII in structured and semi-structured sources, large and small. The FieldShield utilities in Eclipse are for profiling and de-identifying data at rest (static Data Masking) and the FieldShield SDK is used to secure data in motion (dynamic Data masking) is used.

IRI CellShield for PII in Excel and IRI DarkShield for unstructured text, document, and image files. FieldShield and all of the tools IRI Data Privacy Suite are also free in the subscriptions of the IRI Voracity data management platform.

What does FieldShield do?

FieldShield classifies, searches, and protects field values in DBs and flat files with the industry-wide most extensive Data masking and anonymization functions. FieldShield statistically measures the probability that quasi-identifiers can re-identify someone. And FieldShield creates extensive audit logs for compliance verification.

FieldShield can eliminate the effects of data breaches and help you comply with U.S. data privacy laws such as CCPA, CIPSEA, FERPA, GLBA, HIPAA/HITECH, HMDA, MISMO, PCI DSS, and SOC2, as well as DPA, GDPR, IPDPC, KVKK, PDPA, PIPEDA, and POPI abroad.

FieldShield is the best way for:

  • Connect and protect PII in RDB tables and flat files, as well as MongoDB and JSON
  • Automatic scanning and classification of PII, followed by applying the same masking to all sources.
  • Mask large data on existing systems without Hadoop, in-memory databases, or appliances
  • Encrypt and de-identify PII without altering appearance or losing access to non-sensitive data
  • Determine the risk of re-identification and generalize quasi-identifiers so that they are anonymized and useful
  • Protect database clones while they are being created with scripts from Actifio or Commvault be executed
  • Use automatically generated audit logs, order diagrams, and risk reports to verify compliance with data protection regulations.
  • Integrate data masking into transformation, migration, replication, load, federation, and analysis jobs
