NG Bailey’s Responsibility Report highlights 120,000 tonnes of Carbon Savings for Customers


NG Bailey, the UK’s largest independent engineering, IT and facilities services group, reduced its customers’ carbon emissions by nearly 120,000 tonnes over the past year, according to its latest annual Responsibility Report. The CO2e saving of more than 118,000 tonnes – equivalent


to taking around 21,000 cars off the road for 12 months – is 22 times the company’s own carbon emissions over the same period. The carbon reduction programme is led by NG Bailey’s specialist energy team, whose data-driven approach to building operations and maintenance is optimising energy efficiencies for customers including CBRE and Landsec. In addition, the group’s offsite manufacturing capabilities are cutting site carbon emissions by up to 80%. NG Bailey’s 2018 Responsibility Report – its 12th annual report highlighting its achievements as a responsible and sustainable business – marks the culmination of its five-year ‘One Approach’ strategy to operating responsibly. A new three-year strategy has now been launched, which will take the group through to its centenary in 2021. Rob Smith, Group HR director at NG Bailey, said: “Operating responsibly is fundamental to everything we do. It is integral to our culture and underpins our commitment to our people, customers and communities, which is why we continue to invest heavily in it.


“We have achieved a lot over the first five years of our


‘One Approach’ strategy, but it does not stop there. Operating responsibly and sustainably will continue to be the foundation of our business and our new three-year strategy presents us with a new set of objectives and priorities right across our business.”


Redgate Data Masker part of adoption trend toward global enterprise use of data masking techniques


Redgate believes that Gartner’s latest – and timely – Market Guide for Data Masking provides a valuable insight into the increasing need for, and adoption of, data masking by companies to address threats and compliance requirements. It recommends companies “review your data security and compliance roadmap. Focus on vendors that offer more than one type of DM technology and support consistent policies across your DM scenarios, applications and platforms.” Redgate is listed as a data masking technology Representative Vendor. Published on 20 July 2018, the Market Guide predicts global enterprise use of data masking or similar de-identification techniques will increase from 15% in 2017 to 40% by 2021. Redgate feels that, driven by increasing privacy regulations,


the growth in data, and the expanding use of analytics to extract more value from data, data masking is becoming a key way for companies to meet compliance requirements, and address insider and outsider threats. Data masking is needed because many companies use


copies of their production databases in their development, testing and business analytics environments. Sensitive data in those databases, however, has to be protected by replacing it with fictitious data. That data in turn has to be realistic and truly representative of the original data in order to retain its referential integrity and distribution characteristics. Using random data will not work, which is where third party


tools like Redgate Data Masker come in. They provide multiple methods to sanitize data in SQL Server and Oracle databases, use templates to remain consistent with existing data formats,


and include replacement data sets such as names, zip codes and email addresses. Steve Jones, Microsoft Data Platform MVP, is not surprised.


“Big enterprises, particularly in the financial sector, have been using bespoke data masking solutions for a long time, but the cost was a barrier for smaller players. We’re now seeing products like Redgate Data Masker give small to medium sized businesses the same advantages out of the box. They can continue to make the most of the data they have while remaining compliant with regulations like SOX, HIPAA and the GDPR.” Gartner’s Market Guide also recommends data masking solutions should provide tools to manage the full life cycle of masking data: deploying masking rules, scheduling or triggering a masking job, and monitoring the performance of static and dynamic data masking operations. It recommends that security and risk management leaders responsible for data security and compliance should “take advantage of innovative data-masking products at the data virtualization or application tier.” In February 2018, combined Data Masker with its SQL Clone


tool, which uses the standard disk virtualization technologies built into the Windows operating system to create copies of databases in seconds. The copies, which are only around 40MB in size for a 1TB database, work just like normal databases and can be connected to and edited using any program. The SQL Provision solution that was created provides a single


central management system for provisioning masked database copies with a process that is simple, repeatable, transparent, and auditable.
