SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR SCRUBBING DATA TO BE SHARED BETWEEN ORGANIZATIONS

A system and method for scrubbing data to be shared between organizations to test a joint solution, and for preventing the introduction of unscrubbed data. Each organization captures a subset of data, which may be customer data from a line of business. The first organization scrubs its data according to scrubbing rules, and then passes the scrubbed data to its test environment, while the second organization passes its unscrubbed data to its test environment. The scrubbed data is communicated to the second organization and is applied to the unscrubbed data in order to scrub it, and then communicate it to the first organization. Both organizations use the scrubbed data in their respective test environments to test the joint solution or joint testing. Scrubbing the data may involve scrubbing only specific data fields containing sensitive information.
