Why Skifta? ​

Every year, companies face millions in fines and reputation damage from data breaches in development environments. Production data leaking through development workflows is one of the most common—and preventable—security risks.

Skifta solves this problem:

  • Mask PII before it spreads: Transform emails, names, credit cards, phone numbers, and custom sensitive fields automatically.
  • Safe test data generation: Create realistic anonymized datasets for development and QA without exposing customer data.
  • Compliance made simple: Meet GDPR, HIPAA, PCI DSS, and CCPA requirements with auditable data masking.
  • 100% local processing: Your data never leaves your machine—no cloud services, no external APIs, complete control.
  • Fast and efficient: Process 4GB SQL dumps in 3 seconds. No performance bottlenecks in your workflow.

Who is it for? ​

Skifta is built for teams who work with sensitive data:

  • Software Engineers: Need realistic test data without exposing production PII in local environments.
  • Data Engineers: Automate PII masking in ETL pipelines and data transformation workflows.
  • DevOps/Platform Engineers: Integrate secure data handling into CI/CD pipelines and deployment processes.
  • Security & Compliance Teams: Enforce data privacy policies and meet regulatory requirements (GDPR, HIPAA, PCI DSS).
