Perforce Delphix + Fabric: Announcing Compliance Services for Microsoft Fabric

Today at Microsoft Build, Microsoft announced their next generation data platform, Microsoft Fabric. Delphix is proud and excited to be part of this solution and included in today’s announcement and the Microsoft Build demo session.

Reflecting Microsoft and Perforce Delphix’s joint commitment to partner success and hands-on product collaboration, we collaborated on a solution to help unblock data access for wherever it’s needed across the enterprise to accelerate value generation from data — a mission tightly aligned with our company vision. It’s been an ideal way for us to be better together, delivering the best of data compliance and data integration.

The Compliance Challenge for Today’s Data-Driven Enterprises

Our customers tell us the growing framework of privacy regulations makes it harder for technology professionals who depend on sensitive data to do their jobs. For software developers, quality engineers, data analysts and scientists, AI/ML engineers, and citizen users of data, protecting privacy and complying with mandates such as GDPR and HIPAA often means relying on manual or sub-optimized processes for protecting sensitive data such as personally identifiable information (PII), customer lists, and payment details.

Unfortunately, these processes are not practical or sustainable. For one, they inevitably lead to delays in data access, hindering innovation, frustrating team members, and blocking citizen users from access to the data they need. But just as often they fail to sufficiently protect data privacy, leaving sensitive data exposed to developers, testers, third parties, off-shore teams, systems administrators and others without a legitimate need-to-know. This is especially true with decentralized processes that are poorly governed across the enterprise.

The challenge is making useful data available on demand while protecting sensitive elements from disclosure and replication.

Introducing Perforce Delphix Compliance Services for Microsoft Fabric

Our strategic collaboration with Microsoft has resulted in a cutting-edge solution that automates and simplifies multicloud data compliance. Delphix Compliance Services offer enterprises the ability to:

• Seamlessly mask sensitive data: Transform data with realistic yet fictitious values, ensuring privacy without losing utility for analytics.
• Maintain data precision across environments: Automatically enforce referential integrity for consistent masked data across databases and cloud platforms.
• Leverage Microsoft’s 170+ connectors: Effortlessly unify your data estate by supporting diverse integration needs.

At its core, this solution allows enterprises to unify data analytics and ensure that sensitive fields, such as personally identifiable information (PII), remain protected at every step.

How It Works:

With Delphix Compliance Services:

1. Mask and move data in one flow: Use a single API to mask sensitive data as it moves through Microsoft Fabric.
2. Automate compliance workflows: Eliminate manual processes with tailored masking rules applied directly from Microsoft Fabric’s UI.
3. Protect data across environments: Mask data seamlessly within multicloud ecosystems for enterprise-scale applications.

Consider a simple use case for analytics professionals. Sensitive fields, such as customer names or account details, are dynamically masked across their entire data lifecycle. For example, a name like "Jane Doe" would become "Sara Valli" across all databases, maintaining consistent referential integrity, even when analyzed across multicloud platforms. Whether it’s for testing, BI, or AI/ML applications, enterprise users can confidently use this secured data without the fear of violating compliance mandates.
