This blog about test data security is based on a webinar series that DATPROF and EPI-USE labs made for test managers and their teams. The webinar series is designed to dive deep into the art and science of synergizing test data management techniques across diverse SAP and non-SAP systems.
A topic that has only become more relevant. And so we decided to summarize all three webinars for you, so you can start making your test data compliant, secure, and available on demand whether you are in an SAP or non-SAP system or both.
The first webinar was about the importance of test data security, of course, you can also watch the whole webinar with the live demonstration of:
- DATPROF’s masking engine that anonymizes sensitive data in a non-SAP database.
- EPI-USE Labs’ Data Secure solution that anonymizes SAP data
But if you prefer reading, let’s start exploring why test data security is so crucial—through the eyes of a software tester facing a real-world challenge.
Compliant test data across SAP and non-SAP systems
In a fast-paced software development world, teams are constantly racing against deadlines, building, testing, and deploying new applications. But amidst this rush, one crucial element often gets overlooked—test data…
Tessa, is a software tester. She’s in the final stretch of an important project, and suddenly, a realization hits: she needs test data to ensure her application works flawlessly. But where does she get it?
Once upon a time, software teams simply copied production data into test environments. It was fast, it was easy—but it was also dangerous. Hidden within the data were sensitive customer details: names, bank account numbers, salaries, and personal addresses.
Gerard, is a data protection officer. His role has evolved from being the “compliance police” to a trusted business partner, guiding teams on navigating privacy regulations. Since GDPR and other global data laws came into force, organizations can no longer afford to take risks with sensitive information. A single misstep can lead to data breaches, massive fines, and reputational damage.
So, how does Tessa get the test data she needs without compromising privacy?
This is where DATPROF and EPI-USE Labs step in. With a powerful test data management solution, they provide a seamless way to deliver production-like test data—data that behaves like real production data but is completely anonymized and compliant.
In this live demo, Michael and Paul, experts from both companies, demonstrate how the technology works. With a few clicks, the system masks and anonymizes thousands of sensitive records, ensuring that Tessa gets the data she needs—fast, secure, and compliant. Even better! The integration ensures consistent anonymization across both SAP and non-SAP systems.
The message is clear: test data should be compliant, secure, and available on demand. With the right tools, development teams can move faster, safer, and smarter—without ever compromising data privacy.
And so, Tessa, the software tester, can breathe easy—her application is in good hands.
Do you recognize yourself in Tessa or Gerald? Do you need to synergize test data management techniques across diverse SAP and non-SAP systems?

The quest for compliant test data and the valuable partnership between EPI-USE Labs and DATPROF
DATPROF and EPI-USE Labs joined forces over 4 years ago to address a growing challenge: managing and anonymizing test data in both SAP and non-SAP systems.
Organizations often work with mixed landscapes, and ensuring consistent data privacy across these platforms can be complex.
By integrating DATPROF’s expertise in non-SAP test data management with EPI-USE Labs’ specialization in SAP environments, the partnership delivers a seamless, end-to-end solution for companies that need to comply with data regulations while maintaining high-quality test environments.
Our partnership success story so far? Heineken, a global powerhouse, has rolled out in seven different countries, ensuring compliance across diverse regulatory landscapes. Read the case study here.
