Microsoft Fabric’s data integration capabilities unlock a world of data-driven possibilities. However, navigating complex compliance regulations can hinder this journey. Sensitive data gets locked down, restricting data movement and innovation. Traditional masking solutions can be cumbersome, resource-intensive, and prone to errors, further adding to the roadblocks.
This is where Delphix Compliance Services’ joint solution for Microsoft Fabric comes to the rescue. With Microsoft’s GA announcement of Fabric, Delphix, one of twelve Microsoft Intelligent Data Platform (MIDP) ecosystem partners, has launched Delphix Compliance Services for Microsoft Fabric. It is a beta functionality that empowers users to discover and mask sensitive data. This will make it much easier for users to implement data compliance for complex analytics use cases.
Microsoft Fabric’s vision is to transform data into a competitive edge—a philosophy closely aligned with Delphix’s mission. By streamlining compliant data movement in Microsoft Fabric, we can mitigate sensitive data risks and unblock innovation. Delphix is pioneering democratized, safe data access and propelling business insights.
Challenges and Solutions in Navigating the Compliance Landscape
In the ever-evolving compliance landscape, we recognize the challenges technology professionals face. Developers, quality engineers, data analysts, AI/ML engineers, and citizen users often grapple with sub-optimal processes, leading to delays and exposure of sensitive data.
The cloud contains personal information that can identify individuals, making it a potential risk to privacy and security. Delphix Compliance Services for Microsoft Fabric seamlessly integrates with your data flows, automating data masking and governance to ensure compliance every step of the way. We take the pain out of managing compliance, letting you focus on what matters most: generating impactful insights and driving business value.
The 3 significant challenges include:
- Moving valuable personally identifiable information (PII) from production apps for analytics creates privacy risks and data silos.
- Merging data from different systems, building custom pipelines, scaling issues, and endless formats.
- Protecting sensitive data like customer content while using it for valuable insights can be tricky.
Power Query and Delphix Compliance Services (DCS) automate compliance and security, simplify data integration, thereby liberating your data from data silos, and automate data discovery and masking, empowering you to balance the compliance tightrope.
Benefits of Data Compliance for Microsoft Fabric
As Microsoft Fabric lets you manage your data in one unified place with a suite of experiences designed to work together seamlessly (whether that’s for data engineering or business intelligence), Delphix ensures that your data can still work together seamlessly, even when those data are masked.
Delphix does this by preserving the referential integrity of masked data across all Fabric data sources. Data relationships are maintained, so, for example, “David Smith” is changed to “Allan Jones” consistently across all related, masked data sets (whether those are on-prem or in the cloud). As a result, multi-cloud data analytics continue to work while sensitive data is protected.
Overall, the integration of Microsoft Fabric and Delphix provides:
- Simplified Masking: Leveraging pre-built masking policies and easy-to-use templates, mask sensitive data in minutes, not days.
- Seamless Integration: Delphix works seamlessly with existing Fabric data flows, eliminating disruptive workarounds.
- Automated Governance: Automate data discovery, classification, and masking based on pre-defined policies, ensuring consistent compliance across the board.
- Faster Analytics: Get rid of compliance bottlenecks and deliver masked data for analytics instantly, accelerating time-to-value.
- Data Privacy Trust: Build trust with customers and regulators by demonstrably meeting stringent data privacy regulations.
The Delphix solution adhered strictly to Microsoft Fabric’s design principles, facilitating the quickest routes to value. Users can focus on where they’re driving value without being blocked by configuration or infrastructure management. Delphix automatically discovers sensitive data and chooses the right masking algorithms, eliminating complexity while ensuring compliance with regulations like GDPR, CCPA, and HIPAA.
