What's your excuse for not masking your data?

"We need realistic data to develop!"
"It's too hard to generate or redact!"
"What's the harm? I trust everyone here."
"Heroku pg:pull is just easier!"

Prevent inevitable data breaches:

  • Avoid sensitive production data on development machines.
  • Prepare data for public demos, staging sites, and other insecure uses.
  • Comply with international privacy and data limitation laws.
