Enterprise PII Protection Without the Enterprise Price
Enterprise PII protection is the organization-wide control of personal data across every tool and workflow. US companies account for 83% of all GDPR fines—protect your organization with reversible encryption, 273 entity types, and audit-ready compliance, all processed in Germany on ISO 27001-certified infrastructure.
The Challenge
Enterprise organizations face unique challenges when protecting personal data at scale:
According to the IBM Cost of a Data Breach Report 2024, the global average breach cost reached $4.88 million, while a ConnectWise 2024 survey found that 94% of small and mid-sized businesses experienced a cyberattack in the prior year.
