Go beyond perimeter defense and access control
PK Protect delivers an integrated platform for sensitive data discovery and protection. Our solution enables organizations to ensure compliance, limit exposure risk, enforce retention policies, and use and share data securely. Unlike traditional DLP and access control, PK Protect embeds security into the data — at rest or in motion. This provides persistent protection across the enterprise. Safeguard data at the asset level for true end-to-end security that legacy approaches can’t match.

Streamlined compliance for distributed data
We use PK Protect to maintain compliance with HIPAA and SOX. It gives us full visibility into sensitive data across nine distributed platforms, both on-premises and in the cloud. It ensures that critical information like Social Security numbers and credit card data isn’t where it shouldn’t be. Our Test Data Management team also relies on PK Protect to safely refresh data from production to development, so developers work only with de-identified, compliant data.

Questions
PK Protect FAQs
PK Protect, an enterprise data security platform, delivers continuous, automated security for sensitive data. Wherever data lives or moves, across endpoints, cloud, mainframe, and legacy systems, protection remains. Unlike fragmented, patchwork solutions, PK Protect unifies discovery, classification, and protection. Companies reduce operational complexity and risk when implementing it.
Access control solutions focus on who can access data. They rely solely on permissions and authentication to block unauthorized users. While important, this approach has limits. Blocking access to folders only works while data is at rest. It fails when you move, copy, or share files, whether accidentally or maliciously. PK Protect takes a smarter, data-centric approach. Instead of depending on access controls, PK Protect applies persistent encryption and masking to the data. With this method, data remains secure and unusable to unauthorized parties. Even if a credential compromise occurs or files leave secure locations, encryption and masking stay intact.
Businesses in every industry trust PK Protect to manage data security, from financial services to healthcare to retail. The platform delivers exceptional value for organizations facing strict regulatory mandates, where robust compliance and risk management are essential. The platform excels in complex environments with distributed data silos, multiple geographies, legacy systems, and stringent compliance requirements.
