Enterprise grade data protection
DataMasque works with global enterprise organisations who use AWS in governed industries, such as financial services, government, insurance and telecommunications. AWS is architected to be the most secure global cloud infrastructure on which to build, migrate, and manage applications and workloads. Key DataMasque clients including ADP, Experian, ICICI Lombard, Resolution Life, and Best Western Hotel Group benefit from the scale, security, and reliability of AWS.
Achieving the AWS Security Competency differentiates DataMasque as an AWS Partner with deep industry experience and expertise and highlights DataMasque’s commitment to helping these clients protect their data and meet key regulatory requirements.
Best Western uses DataMasque on AWS to strengthen their security posture against potential data breaches and automate key processes. “DataMasque helps us lower the likelihood of a breach and secures our customers’ data, which means we avoid expensive regulatory fines,” said Joseph Landucci, Director of Technology Management, Best Western Hotels and Resorts.
To achieve AWS Security Competency, DataMasque had to participate in a detailed review and evaluation against the competency requirements, alongside a review of its customer deployments on AWS.

About DataMasque
DataMasque solves the problem facing many modern companies dealing with large amounts of digital customer data; ‘How to use that data securely?’ As businesses look to build new products or upgrade their services, many turn to their own customer data in this testing phase, creating an unnecessary vulnerability for cyber criminals. DataMasque solves this problem by giving businesses a simple way to replace sensitive data with realistic alternatives. This allows businesses the freedom to engineer with ‘synthetic’ customer data, without putting real customer information at risk.
