Mage Data | Strategic Compliance & ROI for Indian Banks
For Indian Banking Leaders

How to turn a Compliance Mandate into a Business Benefit with Rapid ROI?

RBI and DPDP mandates require banks to secure customer data across the digital product lifecycle - making the use of production data in non-production environments a compliance responsibility. However, traditional masking approaches are expensive to implement and deliver no direct business value.

Instead of treating it as a cost burden, Mage Data makes it a driver of productivity and financial ROI — reducing storage by up to 90% and accelerating release cycles by 10x. Turn mandatory masking into operational agility and infrastructure savings.

The Situation

The Compliance Gap & Risk Exposure

Regulatory mandates like the RBI Master Direction on Information Technology Governance and Digital Payment Security Controls, RBI Cyber Resilience Framework and Digital Personal Data Protection (DPDP) Act all require that sensitive customer data be protected in non-production environments.

Current Reality

Most banks delay implementation. They copy production data directly to UAT, Test and Dev environments to save costs, creating massive PII leakage risks.

This delay is often driven by real-world practical challenges:

  • Expensive to implement using traditional ETL.
  • Doesn't directly increase top-line revenue.
  • Seen as a "Check-box" activity to be deferred.

The Complexity

Why Banks Hesitate: The "Cost Trap"

Traditional TDM (Test Data Management) creates a massive infrastructure footprint. Creating full physical copies of data, scrubbing them and storing them often triples infrastructure costs while delaying testing by weeks.

1. Storage Explosion

10TB Production DB × 5 Non-Production Env = 50TB Storage Bill. Masking adds CPU/IO overhead.

2. The Agility Hit

Refreshing a masked environment takes 2 weeks. Testers work with stale data.

Banks hesitate because traditional masking adds cost to an already expensive storage bill. They need a solution that reduces the total bar.

THE SOLUTION

Database Virtualization + Integrated Masking

Stop moving petabytes of data. Mage Data virtualizes your database, creating lightweight, read-write clones that consume almost zero storage.

1

Golden Image Creation

We ingest data once from Production and apply irreversible masking policies immediately to create a "Golden Image".

2

Virtual Cloning

Developers get virtual clones in minutes. These clones point to the Golden Image blocks but record writes separately.

3

Context Preserving

Masking maintains referential integrity. "John Doe" becomes "Jane Smith" consistently across all tables and databases.
