PK Protect vs Securiti Data Discovery

PK Protect is PKWARE’s enterprise data security platform for discovering and protecting sensitive information across endpoints, servers, cloud environments, databases, data lakes, and mainframes. Its policy-driven actions include encryption, redaction, masking, moving, deleting, and quarantining data. PKWARE describes three products: Endpoint Manager, Data Store Manager, and PK Protect for z/OS. Endpoint Manager covers desktops, laptops, servers, file shares, and Microsoft 365; Data Store Manager works across structured and unstructured data, including databases, cloud repositories, applications, and ERPs. The z/OS product discovers applications and critical data elements, helps prevent leakage, and supports SBOM creation for audits. Integration with Microsoft Purview can apply sensitivity labels centrally and extend protection to file types Purview cannot label. PKWARE lists compliance coverage for frameworks including PCI DSS, HIPAA, GDPR, CCPA/CPRA, and ITAR. The platform supports hybrid deployment, multi-cloud coverage, and external KMS. Pricing is available on request. PKWARE says it was founded in Milwaukee in 1986.
