SQL Anonymize
Secure Clean Room
Create secure, anonymized copies of production data for development and testing. Realistic data that bears no resemblance to the source while preserving referential integrity.
The Clean Room Approach
Data flows one way into the clean room. No production data escapes.

(Audit enforced)Anonymization Techniques
K-Anonymity
Ensure each record is indistinguishable from at least k-1 others
Data Masking
Replace sensitive values with realistic but fake data
Tokenization
Replace values with tokens that preserve format
Generalization
Replace specific values with ranges or categories
Perturbation
Add noise to numeric values while preserving distributions
Shuffling
Randomize column values while maintaining statistics
