Reduce data exposure risk
Replace uncontrolled production copies with classified, governed, and masked datasets for lower environments.
Enterprise test data management
Reduce test data risk and cost—without moving production data.
Discover, mask, subset, synthesize, and provision production-like test databases inside your VPC. Give engineering teams realistic data while security keeps control.
- Raw rows stay in your network
- Outbound-only agent
- Read-only source access
Business outcomes
Lower exposure and infrastructure overhead from the first workflow.
Reduce data footprint and cost
Use relational subsets, reusable snapshots, and time-bound environments instead of duplicating full databases.
Deliver test environments faster
Turn manual refresh tickets into repeatable self-service workflows for CI, QA, and developers.
One governed platform
Control the complete test data lifecycle.
Start with the module that solves today's problem, then standardize discovery, protection, delivery, and operations across teams.
01 / 06
Discover & Assess
Continuously identify sensitive data, review confidence, and understand risk before production information reaches a lower environment.
- ✓Column, free-text, and nested JSON classification
- ✓Risk and masking coverage views
- ✓Schema drift detection and review queues
CLI + SDK
Fits the workflows developers already use.
Use the web console for governed operations. Run ark-cli from any language or stack—Java, Python, C#, C++, Node.js, Go, and more—or use typed SDKs when provisioning belongs inside platform code and test pipelines.

npm run test:integrationBuilt for mixed teams
One operational model for every stakeholder.
Engineering gets speed, security gets control, and platform teams get one repeatable workflow instead of a chain of scripts and tickets.
Engineering & QA
Realistic test data on demand
Run integration and end-to-end tests against isolated, production-shaped databases instead of stale shared staging.
Security & Privacy
Review risk before data spreads
Discover sensitive fields, enforce masking, and track residual findings as schemas evolve.
Platform & DevOps
A self-service data platform
Promote approved configurations into reusable CI, QA, and developer provisioning workflows.
Compliance
Evidence in the delivery path
Keep approvals, policy changes, job history, and audit-ready reports in one governed system.
FAQ
Technical answers for product evaluation.
Start with the trust boundary, supported workflows, and deployment model before a technical demo.
Does production data leave our network?+
No. The Ark Agent performs row-level processing inside your VPC or private network. The control plane receives orchestration metadata and job state, not raw production rows.
Can Ark use read-only production access?+
Yes. Ark can use a read-only database account or a production replica for extraction. It does not require write access to the primary source database.
How are relationships preserved in subsets?+
Ark traverses foreign-key relationships, including composite and cyclic dependencies, so selected business data arrives with the related rows the application expects.
How do teams automate test database delivery?+
Teams can request environments through the control plane, ark-cli, Go SDK, or JavaScript SDK and use time-to-live policies to remove temporary targets automatically.
