# About Tonic Structural

The Tonic Structural synthetic data platform combines sensitive data detection and data transformation to allow users to create safe, secure, and compliant datasets. 

Common Structural use cases include creating staging and development environments, and trying out a new cloud provider without complex data agreements.

Structural allows you to reduce bug counts, shorten testing life cycles, and share data with partners, all while helping to ensure security and compliance with the latest regulations, from GDPR to CCPA.

You can use the Structural API to integrate with CI/CD pipelines or to create automated processes that ensure that the generated data is available on demand.
