PEM

Enable Comprehensive Data Visibility and Streamline Compliance

Most organizations lack visibility into where sensitive data resides, Hidden risks are everywhere. A user may have files with Social Security numbers in their downloads folder. SharePoint folders may contain credit card numbers, and file shares may store PII in images. PK Protect Endpoint Manager (PEM) discovers sensitive data and applies policy-driven protections. These capabilities reduce risk and ensure secure, compliant data use.

Why PK Protect Endpoint Manager

PK Protect Endpoint Data Protection Software Features

Data Discovery v1

Discovery

You can’t protect data you don’t know exists. PEM automatically scans endpoints (user devices), servers or file shares, OneDrive, and SharePoint to find sensitive data. This reduces compliance risks and eliminates gaps. With accurate, holistic discovery, you gain clarity so you can take action to protect data.

Labelingv1

Labeling

PEM integrates with Microsoft Purview to apply and enforce sensitivity labels automatically. Rather than relying on manual user labeling, PEM assigns labels centrally based on sensitive content. It extends protection with encryption and redaction of file types not supported by Microsoft labeling.

Redaction v1

Redaction

Redaction is essential for complying with regulations and securely sharing sensitive documents. It protects against unintended exposure by concealing confidential data from unauthorized access. It also preserves document context to maintain usability.

Encryption v1

Encryption

PEM’s patented, certificate-free encryption replaces traditional certificate-based methods. It simplifies deployment, reduces overhead and cost. It also delivers seamless access for authorized users, even across large, distributed environments.

Endpoint Data Protection FAQs

Traditional DLP focuses on data egress. They monitor network traffic, block external drives or devices, and enforce perimeter controls. PEM takes a different approach. It secures the data itself, wherever it resides or moves. DLP solutions often impact users. They can often bypass policies, leading to security vulnerabilities. PEM minimizes user impact and protects data while allowing users to get their jobs done.
PEM delivers certificate-free, policy-based encryption without the complexity of traditional key management. The result is fast, compliant data security. Unlike typical encryption, which is disruptive and resource-heavy, PEM simplifies protection by securing files automatically while ensuring access. Organizations can start encrypting sensitive data within days. They’ll reduce risk and avoid compliance penalties with productivity impacts.

Endpoint Protection Platforms (EPP) prevent threats before they cause harm. They use proactive measures like antivirus software, firewalls, and application and device control. Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) continuously monitors endpoints to detect and respond to threats that evade initial defenses.

PK Protect is neither a traditional EPP nor an EDR solution. It takes a data-centric approach by securing the data itself. Even if a breach occurs, the exposed information is unusable to attackers. PK Protect complements EPP and EDR with persistent protection for endpoints, servers, and Microsoft 365.

  • Endpoint Protection Platforms (EPP): Prevents threats before they execute, using tools like antivirus, firewalls, and application control.
  • Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR): Provides continuous monitoring, threat detection, and incident response capabilities for advanced attacks that bypass prevention.
  • Data-Centric or Endpoint Data Protection: Secures the data itself through protections, including encryption and redaction, ensuring sensitive information remains safeguarded in the event of a breach.

Yes. PEM helps organizations meet the requirements of major data protection regulations. Those include PCI DSS, GLBA, HIPAA, GDPR, CCPA, and FISMA. It offers automated policy enforcement, audit-ready reporting, and pre-built sensitive data types customizable to streamline compliance across environments.

Unlike perimeter-based tools that control access, PEM secures the data itself, wherever it resides or moves. This data-centric approach ensures persistent protection at rest, in transit, and in use. Even if there’s a perimeter defense failure, PEM keeps sensitive data secure and inaccessible to unauthorized users.
