Would this tool work? I am not sure if it meets your needs as I think you may have to copy the sensitive data and then obfuscate it.

Disclaimer: I have never used the tool but have used their DDL Wizard tool and have been very happy with it and all my interactions with the company (Net2000, Ltd.) have been very pleasant.

Subject: How do you refresh your databases?

List,

  We have to refresh a QA database from production (to have some real data) but we need to exclude all the PCI/PII from the refresh (it absolutely cannot be copied from Prod to QA). In addition, we have GG replication on Prod so anything we do is subject to that.

  What would be your approach?

  My idea was rman duplicate, but those pci/pii tables rule this out.

Oh, GG cannot be used due to firewall restrictions, we only have database ports and SSH from Prod to QA

any ideas?
