Overview
editCloudMask patent technology masks production data in real-time. Running on end devices, it transparently intercepts and changes the production data so that the unauthorized data requesters do not get access to sensitive data, while no physical changes to the original production data take place.[7]
By protecting against data theft, masking acts as a compliance solution for organizations subject to data privacy regulations such as HIPAA, GDPR, and PCI.[citation needed] Unauthorized users who breach perimeter security can only see the masked data, and data privacy is upheld.[citation needed]

- Confidential storage and file sharing for Google Drive and Box.
- Confidential practice management for Clio.[9]
- Secure case management for Salesforce.[10]
