CST VerdictBased on our analysis of NIST CSF 2.0 coverage, core features, company size fit, deployment model, here is our conclusion:
SMB and mid-market teams drowning in unclassified documents will find immediate value in AppSec Prot-On's automatic labeling and file-level access controls, which actually enforce what your policy says instead of just storing it. The tool covers ID.AM and PR.DS functions in NIST CSF 2.0, meaning it handles both discovery of what you own and real-time protection of it across PDFs, Office files, and media. Skip this if your organization needs sophisticated identity federation or wants to integrate data classification with broader DLP orchestration; Prot-On is document-protection focused, not a platform play.
Mid-market and enterprise security teams drowning in unclassified data sprawl across hybrid cloud environments should start here; Mage Data Catalog automates discovery and maps sensitive data to compliance frameworks (GDPR, HIPAA, CCPA, DPDP) without requiring manual tagging of thousands of assets. The built-in catalog plus optional third-party integrations mean you're not locked into their schema, and the audit trail covers your right-to-be-forgotten obligations without separate workflow tools. Skip this if your organization prioritizes data lineage visualization as a strategic capability; the lineage feature exists but isn't the reason to buy.
