Mercurial SQL Data Masking
Mercurial SQL Data Masking is built for this moment. It takes live production data and obscures it at the SQL layer without breaking queries, indexes, or constraints. The engine runs fast, keeps structure intact, and ensures unauthorized eyes see only safe, masked values. No sync delays. No brittle scripts. Just controlled, reversible masking when you need it.
At its core, Mercurial SQL Data Masking intercepts SQL calls and rewrites the returned dataset. Columns with PII or PHI are covered in realistic replacements that still fit the original format and data type. This means masked datasets can be used immediately for staging, analytics, or development without leaking real customer details.
Masking rules are defined once. They live close to the schema and target fields dynamically. You can mask names, email addresses, payment details, or entire rows. You can set deterministic masking so repeated runs produce consistent pseudonymized results for testing, or random masking for maximum privacy.
Because it operates inside the SQL flow, Mercurial SQL Data Masking avoids downstream breakage. Foreign keys are preserved. Numeric fields remain within valid ranges. Dates stay logically consistent. Applications keep running without code changes.
Performance is a design priority. Masking executes in-stream, allowing large datasets to be processed without dumping and reloading. It scales across databases and supports most major SQL engines—PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQL Server, Oracle—without binding you to a single vendor or environment.
For compliance-heavy environments, Mercurial SQL Data Masking helps meet regulations like GDPR, HIPAA, and PCI DSS by converting sensitive fields into non-identifiable data before they leave the database. Audit logs record every masking action, giving full traceability across development and production environments.
Deploying is straightforward. Point it to your database, define masking rules, and run queries as usual. Data masking occurs automatically in milliseconds. No need to rearchitect your stack or duplicate datasets.
