Masking Migration
Switch masking tools without losing your rules
Package 2 of 5. A clear list of what has to happen when your team moves from one masking tool to another, and a team that does the move with you. C² Data Privacy is the preferred new platform when it fits.
What a switch involves
Know what you have. Every masking tool holds years of work: rules, jobs, schedules and flows that feed your test environments.
Plan before you move. We list that work first, so nothing is moved by hand or missed.
Prove the result. The old and new tools run side by side and the results are compared before anything is switched off.
Keep the data consistent. Masked values stay consistent across systems, so your tests keep working after the switch.
BENEFITS
Old tools vs a modern platform
What a team usually gains after the switch. C² Data Privacy is the preferred new platform where it fits, but we also move teams to other approved platforms.
Area | Legacy Masking | Modern Platforms |
|---|---|---|
Implementation | Heavy custom scripts, per‑system jobs. | Configuration‑driven, reusable policies. |
PHI/PII Discovery | Manual, spreadsheet‑driven. | Automated discovery with ML/AI. |
Synthetic Data | Limited or none. | Built‑in synthesis for realistic non‑production data. |
Cloud Readiness | On‑prem focused, hard to extend. | Native support for cloud databases and files. |
Ongoing Maintenance | High effort, key‑person risk. | Managed as a service by Axis with automation. |
HOW IT WORKS
How the move works
Three steps, with checks before the old tool is switched off.
