Case Study: ACI Worldwide achieves real-time GDPR-compliant payment data anonymisation with DATAMIMIC

ACI Worldwide, Real-Time Anonymisation of Streaming Payment Data

ACI Worldwide, a US-based technology company providing critical payment processing software, faced an existential compliance challenge. They needed to anonymize millions of payment records per hour in real-time within their Kafka streams to meet strict GDPR regulations, but their existing tools could not scale without adding latency and audit risk. They turned to DATAMIMIC for a solution involving its Toolbox and Kafka Streaming Adapter to prevent massive fines and a loss of customer trust.

DATAMIMIC implemented a ruleset-driven anonymization solution that processed data inline at a scale of millions of records per hour with zero impact on latency. The result was deterministic, consistent anonymization across all data columns, full audit transparency through automated reporting, and trained ACI teams that could independently manage the system. DATAMIMIC successfully transformed a compliance nightmare into automated, bulletproof data protection for ACI's global operations.
