Fortanix Data Security Manager vs IronCore Labs SaaS Shield

Fortanix Data Security Manager (DSM) gives DevOps and security teams a way to manage secrets, credentials, certificates, API keys and tokens outside source code. Secrets management can run on-premises, in the cloud, or across hybrid and multicloud environments. DSM provides REST APIs and supports standards and technologies including OAuth, OpenID (SAML), LDAP, JWT, PKI, Kubernetes and Docker.

Documented CI/CD integrations include HashiCorp Vault, Kubernetes Secret Store CSI Driver, Ansible, Jenkins, GitHub, GitLab, CyberArk, Delinea and Azure DevOps. Fortanix says the service stores secrets in a FIPS 140-2 Level 3 certified HSM and uses Intel SGX and Runtime Encryption technology. Role-based access controls, safeguards against unauthorized password changes, simultaneous-login alerts and audit logs support access oversight. Listed certifications include FIPS 140-2 Level 3, PCI-DSS, ISO 27001, CIS and SOC 2 Type 2. The DSM SaaS trial includes the full feature set for 30 days at free, with no credit card required to start. No numeric Enterprise price is listed.

IronCore Labs SaaS Shield adds application-layer encryption, data controls, and access visibility to cloud applications, including multi-tenant SaaS products. It uses a separate encryption key for each tenant to help protect data held in shared storage, and deterministic encryption enables exact-match searches over encrypted data. Customers can retain control of their keys, with support for customer-managed configurations and integrations with Thales CipherTrust Manager, Google Cloud Key Management Service, AWS Key Management Service, and Microsoft Azure Key Vault. The Tenant Security Proxy runs as a Docker container in customer infrastructure, and encryption can be connected through proxies or SDKs. Listed storage and search proxies cover Amazon S3, OpenSearch, and Elasticsearch. SaaS Shield supports rotation and re-keying of keys, changes to algorithms and key sizes, and separating key storage from data across cloud providers. The maker describes a design that keeps sensitive data and keys from its view. A free trial covers one tenant; Pro starts at $1,954/mo (annual) plus $25 per tenant for up to 100 tenants. There is no free plan.
