Protect sensitive data in non-production environments
Workday non-production environments support testing, training and change delivery.
However, they often contain copies of production data, including employee, payroll and other sensitive information.
As organisations create additional environments, expand access for users and introduce AI agents that interact with Workday data, protecting sensitive information and demonstrating compliance becomes increasingly challenging.
Kainos helps organisations protect sensitive data in Workday non-production environments, enabling teams to test, train and innovate while maintaining privacy, governance and control.
Common challenges of protecting sensitive data in Workday
Sensitive data can be exposed in a variety of scenarios, including:
- Testing Workday releases, updates and configuration changes
- Training environments used by HR, payroll and managers
- Sandbox environments shared with implementation partners or contractors
- AI agents and applications accessing Workday data for development and validation
- Proxy access provided for support, testing and troubleshooting activities
