DSPM
Data security posture management: identify, control, and mitigate
Ensure compliance and reduce risk with a comprehensive DSPM platform that discovers and secures data across all environments.
Trusted by leading organizations for over 40 years
Data centric DSPM security
PKWARE’s DSPM platform, PK Protect, uses advanced discovery to deliver complete visibility into sensitive data across your enterprise. It automatically remediates risk, embedding protection into the data itself. With security that travels with your data, sensitive information always remains secure.
Why PK Protect
Simplified DSPM with unified discovery and protection
Enterprise-wide security
Achieve comprehensive visibility into your entire data estate. Take informed action to safeguard all data. Identify unknown, redundant, or obsolete data to reduce risk and minimize your attack surface. Designed to work across all data types, including structured, unstructured, and semi-structured, PK Protect provides security wherever your data resides.
Compliance with confidence
Simplify compliance with regulations, including PCI DSS, HIPAA, GDPR, CCPA, GLBA, FISMA, SOX, and more. Our DSPM platform helps you go beyond checking a box. Pass audits with ease, avoid costly fines, and ensure data is secure, at rest and in transit.
Decrease data breach impact
Even in the event of an attack, embedded security ensures unauthorized users cannot access critical information. Unlike solutions that rely on access controls and permissions, our protections follow data when shared or moved, or in the event of a credential compromise.
Large enterprise bank increases data security by up to 50%
A leading banking institution faced persistent challenges in building a comprehensive cybersecurity framework. Identifying private and sensitive data across endpoints and multiple repositories proved difficult. By implementing PK Protect and its DSPM capabilities, including encryption, the organization gained full visibility, secured all critical data, and significantly reduced risk across the enterprise.
What you get
DSPM security features
Our DSPM platform offers enhanced capabilities to fortify your data security posture.
Comprehensive, accurate, and scalable data discovery
Leverage precise discovery across your entire enterprise. Contextual awareness and AI-driven computer vision locate sensitive information with accuracy. PK Protect also scans efficiently, even in the most demanding environments. For example, one major U.S. bank uses our DSPM platform to scan over 400 applications and 18,000 databases containing nearly a million tables.
Automated remediation
Automatically apply centralized protection policies for consistent data security across every environment. Choose to encrypt, redact, mask, move, delete, or quarantine sensitive data. These actions allow for proactive security and compliance. Protections integrate into existing workflows to ensure security without disrupting users or operations.
Microsoft Purview integration
PK Protect integrates with Microsoft Purview to apply and enforce sensitivity labels automatically. It centralizes labeling based on content and extends protection through encryption and redaction available for file types that Microsoft labeling doesn’t support.
Questions
DSPM FAQs
DSPM is a cybersecurity strategy that’s data-centric in its security outlook and leverages automation. It includes finding sensitive data, then classifying and securing it as needed. With DSPM, you always know where your data is, who has access to it, and how it’s being used.
PK Protect provides broad platform support, across endpoints, servers, on-prem, cloud, databases, data lakes, packaged applications, and mainframe. It’s a unified DSPM tool for both discovery and protection of sensitive data.
Yes. PK Protect focuses on securing the data itself, no matter where it is. Other cybersecurity approaches consider the infrastructure first, which can be risky. With our DSPM tools, you have a more targeted approach to security.
Yes. A crucial part of the DSPM platform is automation. For those tasks that are repetitive, technology can handle them. It also includes centralized reporting.
