Asteria and Agrex Launch "Personal Information Concealment System Adapter" exclusively for ASTERIA Warp

Asteria Corporation (Headquarters: Shibuya-ku, Tokyo; President and CEO: Yoichiro Hirano; Securities Code: 3853; hereinafter: Asteria) and AGREX INC., a TIS INTEC Group company (Headquarters: Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo; President and CEO: Josaku Yanai; hereinafter: Agrex), announced that they will begin offering the "Personal Information Concealment System Adapter" on May 19, 2026. This dedicated adapter connects Asteria's data integration tool "ASTERIA Warp" (hereinafter: Warp) with Agrex's "Personal Information Concealment System."

■ Background of the Development of the "Personal Information Concealment System Adapter"

In recent years, with the advancement of AI utilization and the diversification of information analysis, there is a growing need to utilize data containing personal information across multiple systems and applications, such as for creating test data, providing data to external contractors, and AI training. On the other hand, expanding the scope of personal information usage increases the risk of information leaks. Traditional masking systems (e.g., redaction) aimed at protecting personal information can compromise the analytical and practical value of the data. Therefore, promoting the use of data containing personal information within enterprises urgently requires balancing "ensuring safety" by making individuals unidentifiable with "useful data quality" that can be utilized for analysis and testing.

Asteria's data integration tool "Warp" is software that can connect diverse systems without coding and has held the No. 1 share in the domestic corporate data integration product market for 19 consecutive years. It enables the integration of data between various cloud services and internal systems without requiring programming knowledge, thereby advancing data utilization.

Agrex's "Personal Information Concealment System" converts personal information, such as names, addresses, and dates of birth, into high-quality fictitious data closely resembling actual data. Unlike traditional masking systems, it can conceal personal information while maintaining its attributes.

Driven by this background, Agrex has developed the "Personal Information Concealment System Adapter" for companies using "Warp." By combining the strengths of both companies, it realizes a no-code process from generating data with concealed personal information to integrating it with external systems. This includes processing data for AI utilization, generating marketing data with personally identifiable information excluded, and creating test data.

■ Overview of the "Personal Information Concealment System Adapter"

This adapter makes it possible to call the concealment and conversion functions of the "Personal Information Concealment System" without coding from the "Warp" design screen and incorporate them into a data integration flow. This allows for the concealment, conversion, and control of personal information, realizing data utilization integrated with external systems while maintaining confidentiality as follows:

1. Secure data integration without exposing personal information to external systems

The entire process, from concealing personal information to passing data to external systems, is completed within "Warp." This minimizes the risk of personal information leaks and achieves secure data integration.

2. Realizing integration flows incorporating concealment processing solely through screen operations via no-code development

Thanks to "Warp's" no-code development, even those without development experience or programming knowledge can build flows solely by operating flowcharts on the screen. This reduces development man-hours and flexibly accommodates requirement changes through in-house development.

3. Application to scenarios for utilizing data containing personal information

Using Agrex's proprietary name and address dictionaries equipped as standard in the "Personal Information Concealment System," data is concealed while maintaining its nature—names remain names, and addresses remain addresses. It can be widely applied to scenarios utilizing data containing personal information, such as creating high-quality test data close to production data, generating data for analysis, and creating data for external provision.
