## About

Based in Auckland, New Zealand, and founded in 2019, DataMasque Limited operates as a software company specializing in data masking solutions designed to protect sensitive data while maintaining its usability for testing and development purposes. In September 2023, DataMasque Limited raised NZD 2.7 million in seed funding led by OIF Ventures, with participation from Icehouse Ventures. As of September 2023, the company is led by its CEO, Grant de Leeuw. 

DataMasque Limited offers a data masking solution that provides an environment for testing, development, analytics, and training. Its software helps organizations protect various types of sensitive data, including personally identifiable information (PII), protected health information (PHI), payment card information (PCI), and HR data, using cryptographically secure SHA-512 salted hashing to prevent reverse-engineering to the original unmasked state.

DataMasque Limited generates revenue through software licensing, consulting services, and support packages such as cloud consumption, business, and enterprise.

The company plans to use the seed funding to support its development and global manpower expansion.
