Enterprise PII Protection Without the Enterprise Price
US companies account for 83% of all GDPR fines. Protect your organization with reversible encryption, 285+ 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:
- •Millions of documents across HR, legal, finance, and customer service departments
- •Multiple data formats: emails, contracts, reports, customer records
- •Strict compliance requirements: GDPR, industry regulations, internal policies
- •Need for audit trails and accountability across teams
- •Data residency requirements and security certifications
