When you need to share data that has to be masked
The point where identified data is about to leave a system that was keeping it safe.
A clinical extract leaves the EMR
You’re pulling a report or extract out of a clinical system to share. Your EMR protects data inside it — PDM protects the export, supporting HIPAA Safe Harbor practices.
The email is about to go out
You’re about to email a spreadsheet outside the company. You need the rows, not the identities — we return the file with the people removed.
A vendor or partner needs the file
They need the file, minus the people in it. Send us the records, share back the version without them — supporting GDPR pseudonymisation practices when you share personal data.
Real records become test, demo, or training data
You’re building test, demo, or training data from real records. Keep the shape and the structure; we take out who it’s about — supporting CCPA data-minimization practices.
An auditor or reviewer needs the records
They need the records with the identities removed. They see the data the review is about, not the people behind it.
The file is headed for an AI tool
Feeding spreadsheets to an AI tool? Mask them here first — inside a sealed perimeter no public model sees — then share the masked file with any AI you like. Supports the data-minimisation practices GDPR and CCPA expect.
The file was already masked — you think
A second opinion from a different engine on masking another tool already performed — for files you’re not fully sure about.
How PDM compares to other data masking products
Free tools catch what sits in a clean, labeled column. Enterprise platforms catch everything, and charge accordingly — most of the cost buying continuous monitoring you don't need for one file. PDM sits in between: real free-text detection, one flat price, no sales call. And if you already own an enterprise tool, PDM is a cheap independent check on its output.
