Data masking for Sensitive Informations

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by

Hi,

Good day!

Is there any way to apply data masking to sensitive information like vendor name, vendor address, vendor contacts, vendor bank account, etc (likewise for customers master data) at D365.

How to do the data masking? Thank you.

    But D365FO is not Dataverse.
     
    While the tool might be helpful in a dataverse context (I do not know it and your post looks more like a marketing push), it cannot do anything with regards to  the original issue of masking D365FO data.

    I don't think there is any tool for D365FO, but for those who are having similar requirement for D365CRM, they can use the "Data Mask app for Dataverse." You can mask, anonymize, or obscure Dataverse data with random characters and numbers or mock data from pre-built formats. You can also easily select the fields to be masked or simply deleted.

    I forgot to mention that the Global Address Book security was not (yet) moved by Microsoft to Dynamics 365. You can find an example how to get this activated in Dynamics 365 on my blog: About reinstating global address book security in Dynamics 365 Finance and Operations - Dynamicspedia. This GAB security is also implemented using the eXtensible Data Security (XDS) framework.

    Have done data encryption in Ax2012 but you may consider to use xds instead?

    Hi Sharlene,

    There is no data masking available out of the box. It would require a customization. What would be the actual business requirement to do some data masking? An alternative would be securing some records, so not all vendors are visible to all users.  

    I was involved in a project on AX 2012 where customer and master data from a country shouldn't be visible for other countries. This was achieved with the Global Address Book security. For one particular country, they made a statement that they needed to have the master data encrypted. This appeared to a huge customization effort for just the reason that a application manager, from another country with system administrator rights, could probably see customer names.

    There is no such a feature. Rachel copies and pastes texts that seem related to the question, although they're often about completely different products and topics. I kept her answer in this thread, because this generic information about data masking is relevant, but it doesn't mean that she said anything about F&O.

    Hi Rachel, thanks for the details above. Under what module is data masking at D365? or was it a separate application?
