How UniSuper Secures Sensitive Data and Improves Testing Efficiency with Perforce Delphix

UniSuper's Results At-a-Glance

UniSuper, a leading Australian superannuation fund, partnered with Perforce Delphix to secure sensitive data while improving testing efficiency. By implementing Delphix’s data masking and automation capabilities, UniSuper reduced environment refresh times from six hours to under 60 minutes, enhanced security compliance, minimized manual errors, and achieved a 70% improvement in development team efficiency. 

The Challenge: Protecting Sensitive Member Data Without Slowing Delivery

UniSuper, one of Australia’s leading superannuation funds, manages highly sensitive member information in a tightly regulated environment. Protecting this data is central to maintaining trust and meeting security obligations.

At the same time, development and testing teams needed access to production-like data in non-production environments. Before Delphix, this required manual backups, in-house masking, and database team involvement. The process was slow, error-prone, and difficult to scale, creating tension between security requirements and delivery speed.

The new APRA CPS 234 compliance regulation in Australia adds to requirements that enterprises face. Find out what it means for your data and how Delphix can help you comply with APRA CPS 234.

The Solution: Automating Secure Test Data With Delphix

UniSuper adopted Perforce Delphix to automate data protection and test data delivery. With Delphix data masking, sensitive member information is consistently obfuscated before being used outside production, helping teams meet security and compliance standards.

Delphix enabled a shift toward self-service testing. Teams can refresh environments on demand, bookmark data states, and rewind as needed, without manual intervention. Automation also preserved referential integrity across systems, eliminating compatibility issues and reducing reliance on internal masking solutions.

The Results: Faster, Safer Environment Refreshes at Scale

Using Delphix, UniSuper reduced environment refresh times from more than six hours to under 60 minutes. Automated refresh cycles lowered manual errors, reduced operational overhead, and minimized the number of people involved in the process.

Teams now receive secure, production-like data faster and with confidence that no real member data is exposed. UniSuper also reduced infrastructure costs by lowering disk usage for non-production environments. With security and speed aligned, UniSuper is positioned to further expand its use of Delphix to accelerate delivery across the business.

UniSuper is a leading superannuation fund in Australia. Our purpose is to provide the best retirement outcomes for our members.

At UniSuper, we faced a challenge in protecting our most sensitive information at all times, and Delphix helped us achieve that. Our vision is to be a leader in retirement through personalization.

Our strategic intent is to protect our crown jewels—our sensitive information. That means protecting data in transit and at rest. We had a unique use case where we needed to use production-sensitive information in non-production environments. To meet our business and security objectives, we had to ensure data was protected throughout all phases of the testing cycle.

We engaged Delphix to deploy its data masking capabilities, which allowed us to meet business requirements while protecting sensitive information. Cybersecurity is a team sport—it’s not just about information security, but about the whole business working together.
Delphix helped us achieve two key outcomes. First, it protected sensitive information across its entire lifecycle, in both production and non-production environments. Second, it dramatically improved environment refresh times, reducing them from over six hours to under 60 minutes.

Prior to Delphix, we manually backed up data, masked it with our own solution, and moved it into non-production. It was time-consuming, error-prone, and not self-service. With Delphix, we now fully automate refresh cycles, reduce manual errors, lower storage costs, and deliver data to teams faster.

Our teams benefit from knowing the data they use is fully obfuscated, with no member data exposed. We see opportunities to further expand Delphix’s capabilities to drive even faster delivery. The partnership with Delphix has been critical to achieving our goals on time, on budget, and with measurable business outcomes.
