Does a developer retrieve the actual data of your production database for developing the website?
Does your database contain company/customer/business sensitive information?
If you answer "yes" on both questions, then you actually need to start using the scrambler module.
ATTENTION! WE STRONGLY ADVICE NOT TO USE THIS MODULE IN A LIVE/PRODUCTION ENVIRONMENT. YOUR DATA WILL GET SCRAMBLED AND THE ONLY WAY BACK IS PLACING BACK A DATABASE BACKUP.
The scrambler module helps you to prevent exposing sensitive information from the database. It does this by giving you the ability to configure what data to scramble. The scrambling methods that can be applied by default are:
- Emptying values
- Shuffle characters
- Shuffle words
Optionally you can introduce your own methods.
