the backbone of your safe data ecosystem built with an (soon to be) open source engine featuring a paradigm shifting privacy by design approach to data security and privacy. This architecture supports a compliant solution to bring safe data defaults to your organization, and provides your engineers with safe access to production data (replicated or sampled on demand) without the needless toil and time expense of a homemade approach. In addition, Redactics automates several common day-to-day DevOps/data engineering tasks with its turnkey-style workflows so your developers are empowered with the data they need, and your DevOps/data engineers can instead spend their valuable time elsewhere.
Data Privacy. By DESIGN.
The Redactics SMART Agent software is installed adjacent to each production database within your infrastructure. It is then remote controlled by the Redactics Dashboard to deliver safe data to wherever it needs to go.
Complex, evolving, and regional international data privacy regulations require a whole new approach to working with your data. With the rush to understand and implement self-serve data mesh architectures, we feel that both challenges require more than just a widget, but a complete architectural approach designed to provide data privacy by design. Additionally, the SMART Agent’s focus on automating the delivery of your data frees up your time and DevOps/Data Engineering resoruces. When all of your stakeholders are able to default to working with safe data, you can think of your safe data environments as your No PII Zone. With organizational defaults around safe data, this makes your compliance easy when it comes to accounting for your data management processes.
The security world is embracing the concepts of “Shift left”. Think of Redactics as Shift left for data privacy…
Build your "No PII Zone" to empower your stakeholders (e.g. engineering, analytics/business intelligence, data science/machine learning, support) with the data they need. ... Continue Reading
Generate data samples from your production database (with sensitive information removed) you can use to replace your seed/test data and can install locally to recreate reported product bugs. ... Continue Reading
Generate customized datasets for your demos featuring your audience's name and logo that automatically hard reset before each demo without engineering assistance. ... Continue Reading
You can experiment with creating your own web-based ERL ("extract, redact, load") workflows by signing up (free of charge), but we would be happy to give you a complete demo of the entire Redactics platform and feature offerings!
The Redactics SMART Agent is a Kubernetes Helm chart that gets installed adjacent to each production database (i.e. on the same network) in your infrastructure you’d like it to source data from. It is extremely lightweight and operates using a pure SQL approach using native database functionality, so table sizes are not a constraint, and memory requirements do not increase as your tables grow.
Each time your workflow runs, it will spawn and destroy new Kubernetes pods within its assigned namespace in order to carry out its work, as per your configuration. Any issues will be reported to the Redactics dashboard, but no actual data ever actually leaves your database’s network – all of this work is carried out locally. The SMART Agent operates as a configurable appliance. A downloadable Redactics CLI is provided in the dashboard for manual job invocation, troubleshooting, and retrieving files created by the SMART Agent.
