Hi Elise, Thank you for your forum post. I am not aware of documentation specific to best practices. To answer your questions, I hope the following documents help you: What strategies or features have you found most effective for masking or anonymizing sensitive data? This document is an explanation of the Anonymizer tool and the 3 steps, Classify, Map and masking: Classify to identify sensitive data which generates a classification file. Using the classification file to Map a set of instruction for masking which generates a masking file. Finally Masking which uses the masking file to run the anonymization process. This document explains the Deterministic Data Masking process. This document is how to get started with cloning in Test Data Manager. How do you automate test data refreshes across development and QA environments? Using the Anonymizer and redgate Clone, both include a CLI. You can then run commands via a scheduler to refresh environments. Are there any pitfalls or best practices you can share for staying compliant? As I highlighted above at the beginning of my reply, there are no best practices documentation. The links I provided above will help in regards to best practices. Plus there is the help documentation for Test Data Manger, redgate Clone and Product Learning resources. I recommend that you contact your Redgate Sales AE if you need help setting up your POC or require product training or guided installation via Redgate's Professional Services team. Or if you have encountered a technical problem you need help upon, please submit a support request via the support portal or email support@red-gate.com.

A Redgate Support Ticket has been generated and I will contact you via the support to request the files above. Many Thanks Eddie / comments
