About Tonic
Welcome to Tonic
Tonic is a SaaS synthetic data platform that solves the complex tension between data governance and convenient data access by allowing anyone to create safe, secure versions of their most important datasets. Tonic combines PII detection, statistical data modeling, and self-service data transformations to allow everyone from security professionals to software engineers to create compliant, portable datasets.
Synthetic data empowers users with a myriad of capabilities such as creating staging and development environments, trying out a new cloud provider without complex data agreements, and unleashing data science teams.
You can use Tonic's comprehensive APIs to easily integrate with CI/CD pipelines or create automated processes to ensure that data is available on demand.
Tonic allows you to reduce bug counts, shorten testing life cycles, and share data with partners, all while ensuring security and compliance with the latest regulations, from GDPR to CCPA.
At a high level, Tonic connects to your source database and provides tools to create a safe, shareable version of your dataset in a lower environment.

For a self-hosted instance, Tonic provides administrator tools that allow you to monitor Tonic services and manage Tonic users.
