Data Scrambling
Sensitive employee data does not belong in non‑production environments.
Epicenter protects Oracle Cloud HCM test and development landscapes by automatically scrambling HR data, ensuring privacy, compliance and security without breaking usability or slowing you down.
The Data Scrambling Challenge
Oracle Cloud HCM programmes rely heavily on non‑production environments for development, testing, training and more. Yet these environments by default contain real employee data copied directly from production.
This creates a serious risk. Personally identifiable information, compensation and other sensitive HR data risk becoming widely accessible, increasing non-compliance exposure.
Oracle’s native scrambling focuses on limited PII fields, leaving sensitive data such as salary, performance, and compensation exposed, while manual scrambling approaches are slow, inconsistent and labour-intensive. They often delay environment availability and introduce operational friction, forcing teams to choose between data protection and delivery speed.
Epicenter’s data scrambling service is designed to remove that trade‑off.
The Epicenter Approach
No reports. No data manipulation. No manual HDL.
Epicenter delivers data scrambling as a managed, repeatable service, embedded into how you run your Oracle HCM environments.
Scrambling is designed once and then executed on demand, providing a full, realistic data set whenever you need it. Scrambling rules can be applied across all relevant data groups, ensuring sensitive information is protected consistently without delaying environment availability or disrupting business activities.
The result is secure, usable non‑production data that supports testing and training, while reducing compliance and operational risk.
Benefits
Eliminate exposure of sensitive HR data
Personally identifiable and sensitive HR data is scrambled automatically, ensuring non‑production environments never expose real employee information while preserving structure and consistency.
Restore non-production environments faster
Manual scrambling processes can take days and delay testing activities. Epicenter’s automated approach significantly reduces turnaround time, allowing non‑production environments to be ready much sooner.
Make data scrambling routine
Once implemented, scrambling runs consistently across refresh cycles with minimal effort, removing reliance on manual steps and specialist knowledge.
How it Works
One‑off design
Epicenter designs your data scrambling solution using out‑of‑the‑box scrambling rules that can be adapted and extended to meet your specific requirements.
Build and test
Scrambling rules are built and tested in your Oracle Cloud HCM environments to ensure sensitive data is protected while data remains usable for testing and training.
Run as a managed service
Once live, data scrambling is executed on request by Epicenter’s support team. Scrambling can be scheduled whenever you need it, aligned to your environment refresh and testing cycles.
Protect sensitive HR data without slowing delivery
This service is available today for Oracle Cloud HCM and is designed to protect sensitive employee data in all non‑production environments.
Whether you are supporting frequent testing cycles, regular environment refreshes, or large‑scale transformation programmes, Epicenter ensures data scrambling is fast, reliable, and built into your operating model.
