USE CASES
Tang is a network-based server that binds encrypted data access to network presence, allowing data decryption only when clients are connected to the specific network where the Tang server operates.
Clevis is a pluggable framework that enables automated decryption of data and LUKS volumes through a pin-based plugin system.
A network-triggered emergency tool that overwrites LUKS encryption headers with random data to prevent forced decryption in high-risk situations.
GPG Sync is a tool designed to keep OpenPGP public keys up-to-date within an organization by offloading the complexity of key management to a single trusted person.
ARM TrustZone provides a secure execution environment for applications on ARM processors.
A PHP library that provides secure data encryption capabilities using keys or passwords, designed to minimize implementation errors.
Free multi-platform database tool with support for various databases and rich features.
Themis is an open-source cryptographic services library that provides high-level encryption and data protection capabilities for securing data during authentication, storage, messaging, and network exchange.
A database protection suite that provides field-level encryption, access control, and intrusion detection for distributed applications storing sensitive data.
Red October is a TLS-based encryption server that implements two-man rule authorization, requiring multiple users to collaborate for cryptographic operations.
BleachBit is an open-source system cleaning utility that removes temporary files and system artifacts to free disk space and protect user privacy.
A steganographic file system in userspace for plausible deniability of files.
A tool for creating encrypted volumes with self-destruction capabilities that automatically destroy data when tampering is detected or commands are issued.

Data Security Posture Management
Data Security Posture Management (DSPM) platforms that discover and classify sensitive data across cloud and on-premises environments and assess its posture and risk.
Data Access Governance
Data access governance tools that govern and monitor access to data through entitlements, access reviews, and data-activity monitoring.
Data Loss Prevention
Data Loss Prevention (DLP) solutions for preventing unauthorized data exfiltration, detecting data breaches, and enforcing data security policies.
Data Protection Tools FAQ
Common questions about Data Protection tools, selection guides, pricing, and comparisons.
DLP (Data Loss Prevention) enforces policies to prevent sensitive data from leaving the organization through email, endpoints, or cloud services. DSPM (Data Security Posture Management) focuses on discovering where sensitive data exists across your environment, who has access, and whether it is properly secured. Think of DSPM as finding and classifying your data, and DLP as preventing it from leaking.
Data classification tools scan files, databases, and cloud storage to automatically identify and label sensitive data such as PII, PHI, financial records, and intellectual property. They use pattern matching, machine learning, and contextual analysis to categorize data by sensitivity level, then apply labels or tags that other security tools (DLP, access controls) can enforce.
GDPR compliance typically requires: data discovery and classification tools to know what personal data you hold, data privacy management for consent tracking and data subject access requests, DLP to prevent unauthorized data sharing, encryption for data at rest and in transit, and backup solutions for the right to data portability. A DSPM platform can provide unified visibility across these requirements.
