Enigma is PinnacleQM's test data obfuscation tool and AI platform for data migration. It protects personal and sensitive data while keeping it realistic and connected, at production volume.
30+years of international
IT experience
Testing with copies of production data exposes personal information and breaches privacy obligations. Simple masking breaks relationships between records, hand-made data misses the conditions that cause real defects, and privacy teams rightly refuse to approve either approach.
Enigma identifies and replaces personal and sensitive data, including in free-text fields, while keeping referential integrity. It scales data to production volumes and supports migration, so offshore and partner teams can use realistic data safely.
Enigma lets teams test with data that behaves like production without exposing anyone. It suits regulated industries such as health and finance.
Obfuscated to prove privacy compliance.
Personal data is replaced intelligently rather than blanked, so data still looks and behaves realistically.
AI finds personal information hidden in comments, notes and nicknames, so hidden identifiers are removed too.
Records stay connected across tables and systems after obfuscation, so tests behave as they would in production.
Data sets scale for performance, migration and regression testing, so volumes reflect real production demand accurately.
Enigma is configurable for international industry data standards, so data formats follow your sector's conventions exactly.
Offshore and partner teams test realistically within privacy law, and never see real personal data.
Capabilities for protecting, scaling and migrating data.
Enigma identifies personal and sensitive data across structured fields and free-form text, including nicknames and embedded identifiers, producing an inventory that data owners can review, confirm and use to set obfuscation rules.
Data is obfuscated with referential integrity maintained across its life, so tests behave as they would in production and obfuscated values stay consistent every time data is refreshed for a new cycle.
Enigma scales production data sets for performance and scalability testing, so volumes are realistic, scalability limits are found early and real records are never copied just to add volume to a test.
Enigma can fabricate realistic data at production volumes for development, testing and training environments, so teams get realistic, well-structured data without any production source or privacy risk for every environment.
Enigma supports end-to-end data migration and data management, reconciling source and target data so business owners have retained evidence that nothing was lost and cut-over risk falls before go-live and cut-over.
Obfuscated data lets offshore and partner teams work with realistic data from day one, without breaching privacy laws or data residency requirements, so distributed delivery can start without lengthy data approvals.
A practical sequence that protects data first, then makes it useful: realistic, connected and available at the volumes each test cycle needs.
Real data.Map data sources, sensitive fields and privacy and residency obligations, and document them.
Set obfuscation rules, integrity keys and industry data standards, reviewed with data owners.
Obfuscate data and verify no personal information remains, recording the verification for audit.
Scale or fabricate data to the volumes each test cycle and purpose needs.
Automate refreshes so protected data stays current, consistent and safe over time.
HealthTest obfuscated production records, created full test condition variations and tested more than 5 million transactions per day, without exposing any patient information along the way.
