Go beyond Microsoft Purview

Purpose-built for data security and compliance, our platform complements Purview and closes critical gaps with end-to-end security beyond Microsoft environments.
Why PK Protect
What you gain with PK Protect Microsoft Purview integration
Enterprise-wide security
Integrate our platform with Microsoft Purview to automatically apply and enforce sensitivity labels. This ensures policy-driven protection for all sensitive data, both inside the Microsoft ecosystem and across the broader enterprise. With PKWARE, no data is left unprotected.
Safeguard file types not supported by Microsoft
PK Protect applies labels to file types supported by Purview and provides protection for other, non-supported data formats. It delivers non-intrusive encryption and redaction of file types Purview can’t label (including .CSV, .doc, .xls). With Purview alone, these files remain vulnerable. Our encryption doesn’t break workflows and ensures files remain accessible to applications that need them.
Minimize cost and deployment complexity
Considering a move from Microsoft 365 E3 to Microsoft E5 to gain auto discovery and labeling? PKWARE provides a more cost-effective option. Stay on Microsoft 365 E3 and leverage PK Protect to gain visibility and protection. With our platform there’s no need for extensive tuning or a dedicated administrative resource. Get started quickly with customizable, out-of-the-box policies for PII, PCI, HIPAA and more.
Western Union and PK Protect: elevated data security
Western Union leverages PK Protect to discover sensitive data, apply sensitivity labels, and redact confidential information to complement Purview. The platform has scanned over one million files and executes discovery and redaction every four seconds. To date, it has identified 76,000 sensitive files, applied restricted and confidential labels where applicable, and redacted 36,000 credit card numbers.
What you get
Highlights of PKWARE’s Microsoft Purview integration
Policy-based protections without user dependence
Rather than relying on labeling that is user-applied and editable, PK Protect applies labels centrally based on sensitive content. Policy-driven labeling and protection means consistent security without relying on or impacting users.
Unified discovery and protection
PK Protect provides discovery and protection in one platform to ensure all sensitive data is found, labeled, or remediated. This reduces risk and improves audit readiness.
Unlimited labeling
PK Protect does not have a daily labeling limit, ensuring all files are protected and can be relabeled at scale.

Questions
Microsoft Purview FAQs
Yes, it provides encryption and redaction of older file types not supported by Microsoft labeling including legacy formats like .CSV, .doc, .xls. You can even encrypt DICOM or CAD files.
No. PK Protect protection policies that cannot be overridden by end users and the solution does not depend on users to protect data.
Traditional DLP solutions focus on data egress. They monitor network traffic, block external drives or devices, and enforce perimeter controls. PK Protect takes a different approach. It secures the data itself, wherever it resides or moves. DLP solutions often impact users, and they can often bypass policies, leading to security vulnerabilities. Our platform minimizes the impact to users and protects data while still allowing users to get their jobs done.
PK Protect delivers certificate-free, policy-based encryption without the complexity of traditional key management. The result is fast, compliant data security. Unlike traditional encryption, which is disruptive and resource-heavy, PK Protect simplifies protection by securing files automatically while maintaining seamless access. Organizations can start encrypting sensitive data within days, reducing risk and avoiding costly compliance penalties without impacting productivity.
