SYSTEMS FOR SANITIZING PRODUCTION DATA FOR USE IN TESTING AND DEVELOPMENT ENVIRONMENTS

Abstract:

An online data hub/portal that provides for data to be extracted from production environments, sanitized (removal of non-public information NPI) and loaded into non-production environment (e.g., testing and development environment)g. The online data hub/portal allows users to extract data from a disparate production applications into a first secure staging location that triggers identification of Non-Public Information (NPI), sanitization of the identified NPI and validation of the data (e.g., verifying that NPI has been identified and sanitized and that all relationships between data elements in downstream and upstream applications are kept intact). Once sanitized and validated, the data hub places the data in a second secure staging location that provides for loading the sanitized data into the non-production environment.
