Enigma
Data management for complete use case security
Reduce your corporate exposure to data risks within your digital business assurance projects with Enigma.
Enigma is a comprehensive, end-to-end Data Migration and Data Management platform with extensive Data Obfuscation capabilities. Protecting personally identifiable information, sensitive personal data and commercially sensitive data is a primary corporate governance concern.
Fabricating volumes of realistic business data for use in development, testing, and training environments is expensive, time-consuming, and subject to change over time. Enigma generates complete sets of realistic business data so you no longer need to use copies of production data.
Enigma reduces your corporate risk that production-level security controls can be bypassed and personnel with access to data may not be authorised to see or use actual production data. Don’t risk your reputation or become another high-profile victim with adverse publicity and subsequent market and end-customer scrutiny and loss of confidence.
Enigma provides dynamic data obfuscation to remove personally identifiable information and sensitive data from data migration and when actual production data is to be copied for development, testing, or training purposes. The resulting data is realistic and all relationships between different data attributes is maintained.
Enigma will scale to meet your changing demands and can easily process your current and future daily production data volumes. Enigma can also be used to data-drive automated testing to conduct testing at production loads, maximise test coverage, automatically verifying boundary values and conducting negative testing scenarios.

Execution
“As a lending specialist within the banks lending group, we are focused on ensuring we provide and processing all our customers loan requests quickly and accurately. In the new agile world we are required to support a lot IT project changes. Previously we would document all our tests and then technical IT teams would then convert these to automation code. Now we Enginuity we just upload our business and application tests to the Enginuity automation tool and it is executed without all the effort and time wasted trying to get IT to understand what we needed testing”.
“We partner with Pinnacle, as they provide us with very senior experienced consultants locally. We also use their very cool AI automation solutions to deliver our client services across the region and industries. We have centralised a team offshore, trained and certified in the AI Automation tools and they have completely removed all our client project backlogs… This is a great win, happier customers and more work being delivered. Thanks Pinnacle…”
Case studies
client challenge:
- Challenges in replacing an existing legacy integration platform with a modern digital integration platform.
- Significant business and operational risk associated with such a large scale change, with closely-coupled interfaces between many hundreds of production systems.
- 5 million health messages per day in the real world comprising hundreds business event variants. It is too time-consuming and complex to fabricate test data to verify all these possible events manually.
- Using actual Patient Data for testing purposes introduced business security risks and Data Privacy concerns. Within another country a similar approach resulted in medical records of VIPs being released into the public domain.
solution:
- Standard mode – Enigma automatically obfuscated the entire set of millions of daily production Health messages to create sanitised copies with all personally identifiable information removed.
- Advanced AI mode – Enigma obfuscated patient and personally identifiable information from free-format text such as Doctor’s notes.
client benefits:
- 100% test coverage. Every business event and permutation of production is defined and used as realistic, obfuscated data.
- Production volume of obfuscated data is used real-time in the test environments.
- Risk Mitigation. All Personally Identifiable Information and sensitive data was protected, with data integrity maintained for future test instances.
client challenge:
- Legacy SAP ECC end-of-life is approaching and our client wishes to migrate to SAP S/HANA and SAP SuccessFactors to reduce the risk of expensive extended support.
- Migration of HR and personal information from legacy SAP modules to SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central.
- Errors in existing employee data are difficult to detect until after each migration is completed.
solution:
- Enigma was deployed to verify every possible combination of employee type, level, skill, location, pay grade, and various allowances for over 3,500 employees.
- The Enigma solution was executed against the entire workforce latest annual pay awards and discretionary increases to check every individual pay element was correctly calculated in the new SuccessFactors module.
client benefits:
- The entire validation of Wage Types and Pay Components for the entire workforce was completed in under 4 weeks.
- Data Errors in the source Legacy SAP ECC system were identified early during shakeout testing at the beginning of the migration rather than later in the process.
- Every pay award calculation for every single employee within the entire organisation was verified.
- Minute errors in rounding calculations were identified in a small number of cases, which would not have been discovered if testing was limited to a partial employee set.
client challenge:
- The mortgage origination and approvals process is complex. Lending systems interact with 3rd parties to verify Payslips, Addresses, Credit Ratings, TFNs, Driving Licences and Customer Personal and Financial Data.
- Obfuscating real customer data while retaining meaningful integrity for testing the end-to-end Lending process is difficult and costly.
- Demonstrating compliance to financial regulations and Data Privacy is an additional layer of governance for the ongoing delivery of financial systems
- Repeatedly using the same data changes the test outcome. A given applicant can only make a number of applications before the credit process blocks the customer.
solution:
- Standard Enigma obfuscation removes all references to real customers personal, address, relationships etc.
- Advanced Enigma obfuscation dynamically changes customer test data to reliably interoperate with 3rd party applications and ensure reliable test outcomes.
client benefits:
- Reliable automated testing with sanitised, realistic data can be conducted across the end-to-end Lending process.
- Standard and Advanced AI obfuscation can be customised for each customer so the resulting test data set is relevant to their business geography and regulation.
“We have always implemented, provided project change and support and maintenance services to our end clients. With changes in smarter buying, we had to offer shorter lead times and less cost to change our customers products. We now work with Pinnacle to help us with this. Our teams are smaller, we offer and win more client work as we are now more scalable and commercially competitive. We both get real value from our partnership and look forward to the future plans and continued working with Pinnacle”.
