Reduce risk
Robust masking controls across lower tenants cut the risk of unauthorised access by over 80%.
This ensures your data is secure and your business is compliant, providing greater agility when implementing and testing changes, without limiting quality.

Speed up development & testing
Secure privileged access accelerates DevOps and testing by as much as 50% for developers, testers and third parties.
Enabling secure proxy for more users means you can eliminate bottlenecks and accelerate initiatives like compensation reviews, benefit roll-outs or new modules.

Cut cost of ownership
Granular data privacy controls allow multiple teams to develop and test parallel projects in one tenant, reducing tenant management costs by 25%.
Without restrictive one-size-fits-all controls, you can move quicker, deliver faster and reduce costs.

Why organisations trust Smart Shield
“Before using Smart we had 12 people in a room to conduct testing in a room, now with using the Kainos data masking, we can protect our data and have opened proxy access to 90+ testers to massively speed up deployments.”
“It allows us to maintain the integrity of our testing environment while utilising proxy. The results are 250 hours saved on testing time during HCM deployment, 80% time savings on rework per release and a 92% reduction in testers required for Workday Releases.”
“Automation has allowed us to do more with less, we’ve been able to accelerate updates, manage risks proactively, and focus on strategic priorities. We’re excited to keep enhancing our system with Kainos.”
