Realtime-IT Compliance: The IT Compliance Community Podcast|Episode #6: What IT Leaders Need to Know About Using Production Data for Testing Episode
There are many issues involved with using live production data, particularly real personally identifiable information (PII), for test and demo purposes. For many years it has been the norm within organizations to use copies of production data for testing during applications and systems development. However, over the past few years this practice is becoming more and more of a bad idea with all the new privacy laws and regulations, identity theft cases, insider instigated fraud, increased customer awareness, and the growing number of companies using outsourced companies to manage applications development, testing and quality assurance.
In my latest podcast I discuss the importance of and reasons for using data that does not include real, production PII for test and development purposes.
