Synthetic data
Synthetic data is artificially generated data that mimics the structure, patterns, and relationships of real-world data, without containing any actual sensitive information. It is often used as test or training data in software development, machine learning, and analytics to validate systems, train models, and simulate real-world scenarios. When generated effectively, synthetic data maintains the utility of production data while ensuring privacy and compliance with regulations.
As test data, synthetic data allows teams to work in secure, non-production environments without risking exposure of personally identifiable information (PII) or other sensitive content. By preserving the statistical properties and relationships of real data, it provides a realistic, safe, and compliant alternative for development and testing workflows.
Synthetic data is used for a variety of purposes, including software testing, machine learning, analytics, and simulations. In software development, it serves as realistic test data that mimics production environments while protecting sensitive information. For machine learning, synthetic data helps train models when real data is limited, imbalanced, or entails privacy concerns.
Additionally, synthetic data is used to simulate real-world scenarios, such as user behavior or system performance, while supporting compliance with privacy regulations by eliminating the risk of exposing sensitive data. Its versatility makes it valuable across many industries such as healthcare, finance, and technology.
Test data refers to the data used during software development, testing, and quality assurance processes to validate that an application or system works correctly. When sourced effectively, it simulates real-world scenarios, ensuring that features, functionality, and performance are tested under realistic conditions. Test data can include inputs like user records, transactions, or system logs. It is often masked, de-identified, or synthesized to protect sensitive information.
High-quality test data maintains the structure and behavior of production data without exposing personally identifiable information (PII) or other sensitive content. This allows teams to develop, debug, and optimize software in secure, compliant environments.
Test data and synthetic data are not mutually exclusive. Their key difference lies in their definitions and scope. Test data refers to any data used for testing an application to ensure functionality, performance, and reliability. It can come from real production data that may be masked or de-identified, depending on privacy and compliance needs.
Synthetic data, on the other hand, is artificially generated data that mimics the structure and statistical properties of real data without containing any actual sensitive information. Synthetic data can be used as test data, and it can also be used for other applications like machine learning model training, analytics, and simulations. In short, test data is a broad category, and synthetic data is one way to generate safe, realistic data for testing and beyond.
Synthetic data is not inherently better than test data. In fact, depending upon the application, synthetic data is frequently used as a type of test data. It offers distinct advantages when privacy, compliance, or data availability are concerns. Synthetic data mimics the structure and behavior of real data while eliminating sensitive information, making it ideal for secure testing, model training, and analytics.
The choice between synthetic data and other forms of test data depends on the use case. When real production data is limited, sensitive, or difficult to obtain, synthetic data provides a scalable and safe alternative. Ultimately, synthetic data enhances test data practices by offering realistic, privacy-preserving datasets that can be tailored to specific testing or analytical needs.
Synthetic data can be generated using several techniques, depending on the use case and level of complexity needed. Each method offers unique benefits. These methods can also be combined to produce versatile, privacy-preserving synthetic datasets.
Rule-based generation creates data following predefined patterns, while statistical methods mimic real data's properties like averages or correlations. More advanced approaches, such as machine learning models like generative adversarial networks (GANs), produce highly realistic data by learning from real-world examples.
Randomized generation introduces controlled randomness to create diverse yet usable data, and simulation-based techniques replicate real-world processes, such as user behavior or sensor outputs.
Tonic.ai’s products Tonic Structural and Tonic Textual generate synthetic data via a number of approaches, including rules-based data generation and statistical methods that analyze and recreate the structure, statistical properties, and relationships within your existing datasets. Using advanced techniques that variously include deterministic masking, format-preserving encryption, differential privacy, and Named Entity Recognition (NER) trained on proprietary models, Tonic.ai’s platforms ensure the synthetic data maintains the patterns and behavior of real data while eliminating sensitive information. This allows the data to remain realistic and useful for testing, machine learning, and AI workflows.
By way of its consistency features, Tonic Structural and Tonic Textual also preserve referential integrity, ensuring relationships between tables and systems remain intact, and provides control over data generation to match specific use cases. By combining accuracy, scalability, and privacy, these platforms produce synthetic data that behaves like production data, without exposing sensitive content.
Yes, synthetic data generated by Tonic.ai’s products accurately mimics real-world data patterns. Tonic Structural and Tonic Textual use advanced techniques, such as statistical modeling, consistency, and machine learning, to analyze the structure, relationships, and distributions of your original data. They then create artificial data that reflects the same patterns, behaviors, and characteristics, all while protecting sensitive information.
It's important to preserve data structure in synthetic data generation because it ensures the artificial data maintains the same format, relationships, and dependencies as the original data. This is critical for applications that rely on the consistency of schemas, table relationships, and referential integrity to function correctly.
By preserving the data structure, synthetic data behaves like real data, enabling seamless integration into existing workflows and systems. It ensures that testing environments, model training, or simulations yield reliable results. Without structure preservation, the data may lose its utility, leading to inaccurate testing, faulty models, or unreliable insights.
Synthetic data is used in AI and large language models (LLMs) to train, fine-tune, and validate models when real-world data is limited or sensitive. By generating artificial data that mirrors the patterns, complexity, and relationships of real data, synthetic data helps ensure LLMs are trained on diverse inputs while maintaining privacy compliance.
In AI development, synthetic data can address data gaps, correct biases, and enhance model performance by providing more balanced and scalable datasets. It is especially valuable for scenarios requiring edge cases or rare events, which may be underrepresented in real data. By offering a safe and customizable alternative, synthetic data enables the creation of more accurate, reliable, and ethical AI models.
Data de-identification
Data de-identification is the process of removing or altering personally identifiable information (PII) or other sensitive data to protect individual privacy. The goal is to transform the data so that individuals cannot be readily identified, while still retaining the data’s utility for tasks like analysis, software testing, AI development, or research.
Techniques for data de-identification include masking, generalization, encryption, and data synthesis. Proper de-identification ensures compliance with privacy regulations like GDPR and HIPAA, enabling organizations to use and share data safely without exposing sensitive information.
Data masking is a technique used to protect sensitive information by replacing it with altered, yet realistic, data. The goal is to hide personally identifiable information (PII) or other confidential details while maintaining the data's structure and usability for testing, development, or analysis.
Techniques for data masking include substitution, shuffling, encryption, and nulling out. By ensuring sensitive data remains inaccessible while still usable for non-production purposes, data masking helps organizations comply with privacy regulations like GDPR, HIPAA, and CCPA.
Data obfuscation is the process of intentionally modifying data to hide sensitive information while maintaining its structure and usability. It protects sensitive information by transforming it into a non-identifiable format through techniques like masking, encryption, tokenization, or scrambling.
Data tokenization is a process that replaces sensitive data, such as personally identifiable information (PII) or payment details, with unique, non-sensitive tokens. These tokens serve as stand-ins for the original data but have no exploitable value. The sensitive data is securely stored in a separate system, often called a token vault, while the token can be used within applications or systems. Tokenized data is ideal for use in analytics and research, where trends and patterns in aggregate data need to be identified without revealing sensitive information.
Data can be de-identified to a significant extent, but achieving complete de-identification—where there is zero risk of re-identification—is challenging. Comprehensive techniques like masking, encryption, synthesis, and applying differential privacy can effectively remove or obscure personally identifiable information (PII). Techniques like pseudonymization, meanwhile, which only obscure certain values within a dataset, leave open the risk of re-identifying individuals, in particular if the pseudonymized data is combined with other datasets containing information about those individuals. This is why many organizations rely on specialized software like Test Data Management solutions to comprehensively de-identify sensitive data for use in their testing processes.
De-identified data can potentially be re-identified if combined with other datasets or additional information. Advanced tools, cross-referencing with external data sources, or analyzing patterns within the data can sometimes make it possible to identify individuals within de-identified datasets.
To minimize this risk, organizations often apply additional safeguards, like data minimization, access controls, and regular assessments. Regulations like HIPAA and GDPR emphasize that de-identification must reduce re-identification risks to an acceptable level, but they acknowledge that achieving absolute anonymity is challenging.
De-identified data is data that has been processed to remove or obscure personally identifiable information (PII) or other sensitive details, preventing the identification of real-world individuals. The data retains its structure and utility for tasks such as analysis, software testing, or research, but cannot be linked back to a specific person.
De-identified data is commonly used for software testing, data analysis, research, and machine learning model development. By removing or obscuring personally identifiable information (PII), de-identified data enables organizations to work with realistic datasets without exposing sensitive details.
It is particularly valuable in industries like healthcare, finance, and technology, where compliance with privacy regulations such as HIPAA or GDPR is essential. De-identified data allows teams to innovate, analyze trends, and test systems securely while minimizing privacy risks.
Tonic.ai provides data de-identification by transforming sensitive data into safe, realistic, and non-identifiable datasets through techniques including masking, encryption, and data synthesis. Its platforms work by removing or replacing personally identifiable information (PII) and maintaining the structure, relationships, and statistical integrity of the original data. This ensures the de-identified data remains useful for testing, development, and model training while protecting individual privacy.
By automating the de-identification process, Tonic.ai helps organizations comply with privacy regulations like GDPR and HIPAA while enabling teams to work with production-like data securely and efficiently.
Test Data Management (TDM) is the process of creating, managing, and provisioning test data for software development and testing. It ensures that development and QA teams have access to realistic, high-quality data that reflects production environments while protecting sensitive information. TDM involves processes like data masking, subsetting, and synthetic data generation to provide secure, compliant, and usable test data.
TDM tools are software solutions designed to create, manage, and deliver high-quality test data for development and testing environments. These tools help automate processes like data masking, subsetting, synthetic data generation, and data provisioning. They ensure test data is realistic, compliant, and secure. The more robust TDM tools ensure that referential integrity is preserved in their output data and maintain the structure of production-like data to support accurate testing.
By using TDM tools, teams can streamline test data creation, reduce manual effort, and ensure data privacy, enabling shorter development cycles, more reliable software testing, and better quality products shipped faster. Tonic Structural is an example of a TDM solution that provides secure, realistic, and scalable test data tailored to meet diverse testing and model training needs.
There are several data privacy regulations governing the use of personal information.
In the United States, HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act) regulates the use and disclosure of protected health information (PHI) in the U.S. healthcare industry, while the PCI DSS (Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard) establishes global standards for securing payment card information. The state of California also has its own regulation, the California Consumer Privacy Act/California Privacy Rights Act, which gives California residents the right to access, delete, and opt-out of the sale of personal data. Many other states have also enacted data privacy laws; for a full list, visit the IAPP’s US State Privacy Legislation tracker
Additional laws, such as Canada’s PIPEDA (Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act) and the European Union's GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation), also impact how organizations manage personal information. Compliance with these regulations is essential to avoid penalties, maintain privacy, and build trust with customers.
PII stands for Personally Identifiable Information, which refers to any data that can be used to identify an individual, either on its own or when combined with other information. Examples of PII include names, addresses, phone numbers, and Social Security numbers. It can also include biometric data, such as fingerprints, or online identifiers such as IP addresses.
Protecting Personally Identifiable Information (PII) is crucial to prevent identity theft, financial fraud, and unauthorized access to sensitive data. When PII is exposed, individuals can become targets for malicious activities like phishing, account takeovers, or financial scams.
From an organizational perspective, safeguarding PII helps maintain customer trust, comply with privacy regulations such as GDPR, HIPAA, and CCPA, and avoid legal penalties or reputational damage. Proper protection of PII ensures privacy, security, and compliance while minimizing the risk of data breaches and misuse.
The Safe Harbor Method is a data de-identification approach defined under the HIPAA Privacy Rule. It removes specific identifiers from protected health information (PHI) to reduce the risk of re-identification. The Safe Harbor Method involves eliminating 18 types of identifiers, such as names, addresses, phone numbers, Social Security numbers, and other details that could directly or indirectly identify an individual.
Anonymized data and de-identified data are synonymous. Both data anonymization and data de-identification are umbrella terms to refer to a collection of more specific techniques such as data masking or data redaction. Broadly speaking, there is no inherent difference between anonymized data and de-identified data, but there are differences between the various approaches used to create anonymized or de-identified data. For more information, see this guide on data anonymization versus data masking.
De-identified data refers to data that has had personally identifiable information (PII) removed or obscured, to prevent the identification of individuals. The goal is to eliminate re-identification risks, and as such, de-identified data is considered compliant with data privacy regulations like GDPR and CCPA.
Pseudonymization, on the other hand, replaces some identifying information with artificial identifiers or pseudonyms, but not all. For example, it might replace names and birthdates but not zipcodes. While this can reduce the risk of immediate identification, the underlying data can still be re-identified if the pseudonymized is combined with other datasets. Pseudonymized data provides a lower level of privacy protection compared to fully de-identified data.
Data anonymization is an umbrella term for approaches to de-identify data, which include techniques like data masking. The difference lies in the fact that data anonymization is a broader term, while data masking is a specific approach within that term. Data anonymization encompasses many techniques, including data masking, data encryption, and data redaction.
Data masking, specifically, hides sensitive information by replacing it with realistic but altered values while preserving the data's structure and usability. It is ideal for use cases like software testing and development, where maintaining data realism is critical without exposing actual sensitive information.
The difference between static and dynamic data masking lies in how, when, and where the data is masked:
Static data masking involves creating a permanently masked copy of the original dataset. The masked data is stored in its own database for use in non-production environments, such as testing or development, and remains unchanged. This ensures that sensitive data never leaves its original location, but the masked data requires ongoing updates when source data changes.
Dynamic data masking, on the other hand, masks data in real-time as it is accessed, without altering the underlying database. It allows users to view masked information on demand (based on access permissions) while keeping the original data intact. Notably, dynamically masked data is read-only, since it is not written to a separate database. This makes it ideal for customer service inquiries, but it is not usable for software development and testing, which requires read/write data.
Both approaches help protect sensitive data, with static masking suited for non-production use and dynamic masking better for live, production environments.

Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) is an AI framework that combines information retrieval with text generation. It enhances the quality and accuracy of outputs from language models. In a RAG system, a model first retrieves relevant data or documents from an external knowledge source, such as a database or search index, and then uses that information as context to generate responses.
This approach improves the performance of language models by grounding their outputs in factual and up-to-date information, reducing inaccuracies. It's also useful for applications such as customer support, question-answer systems, and other knowledge-intensive tasks.
RAG is frequently applied for AI tasks like question answering, where the AI model retrieves relevant documents or data and uses that context to generate factually grounded answers. It's also used in customer support systems, knowledge management, and chatbots, enabling them to provide up-to-date, context-aware responses.
By integrating external knowledge sources, RAG reduces inaccuracies, enhances reliability, and ensures the output is aligned with current and relevant information.
RAG improves the output of LLMs by enhancing their responses with up-to-date knowledge from external databases or document repositories. RAG retrieves data, which is then provided as context to the LLM to generate responses that are more accurate, factually grounded, and more relevant. It reduces the likelihood of "hallucinations" (incorrect or made-up outputs) and helps LLMs remain more aligned with real-world data.
Tonic Validate uses a suite of metrics to measure the performance of RAG systems, ensuring accuracy and relevance.
Key metrics include answer consistency, which evaluates how closely generated answers align with the retrieved context, and answer similarity, which measures how closely a response matches a reference answer.
