Worldpay relies on Delphix to accelerate test cycles, improve software quality, and automatically mask sensitive data

Overview 

Faced with complex data management demands and rising security expectations, Worldpay, a global leader in financial services, needed a way to accelerate delivery cycles while protecting sensitive information. By integrating Perforce Delphix’s data automation and virtualization platform, Worldpay reduced data environment setup from 28 days to just 4, empowered teams with fresher test data, and fortified its defenses against cyber threats. The results: faster releases, stronger compliance, and greater agility across the business. 

The Results at a Glance 

• 85% faster data delivery, reducing a 28-day process to just 4
• Higher software quality from timely, complete test environments
• Improved security and compliance across 12+ non-prod environments
• Ransomware resilience via vault-secured, virtualized data snapshots 

These gains not only saved time and resources, but they also enabled Worldpay to move with greater confidence in a highly regulated industry. 

The Challenge 

Operating in one of the most highly regulated industries, Worldpay must safeguard sensitive data such as bank details and account numbers while maintaining fast delivery cycles. But with 450 terabytes of production data and over a dozen non-production environments, their existing approach had become a bottleneck. 

Exporting, masking, and importing data into lower environments could take up to 28 days, forcing testing teams to work with outdated data and limiting updates to once a year. This significantly impacted release velocity, and the quality of software delivered. 

Ensuring that masked data didn’t leak into non-production environments added further complexity, consuming time and creating compliance risks. 

The Solution 

To eliminate inefficiencies and reinforce security, Worldpay adopted Perforce Delphix’s platform for data automation, virtualization, and masking. 

• End-to-End Automation: Data delivery was integrated directly into environment provisioning, drastically reducing manual overhead.
• Accelerated Data Delivery: The platform cut the environment data refresh cycle from 28 days to just 4, enabling frequent, accurate testing.
• Robust Data Masking: Sensitive customer data was masked consistently across all non-production environments to maintain compliance.
• Virtualized Ransomware Protection: Data snapshots were securely vaulted, providing quick recovery and added assurance against cyber threats. 

Looking Ahead 

For Worldpay, this transformation wasn’t just about modernizing data workflows — it was about unlocking faster innovation, empowering teams, and ensuring the highest standards of data protection. With Perforce Delphix, they’ve built a future-ready foundation to stay secure, agile, and customer-focused in a rapidly evolving digital landscape.
