CST VerdictBased on our analysis of NIST CSF 2.0 coverage, core features, integrations, company size fit, here is our conclusion:
Enterprise security teams managing sensitive data across hybrid cloud environments should choose IBM Guardium for its real-time data access monitoring combined with automated compliance reporting that actually closes the gap between discovery and enforcement. The platform covers all six NIST CSF 2.0 functions from asset identification through incident mitigation, with particular strength in continuous monitoring and threat detection that catches anomalous database access patterns most competitors miss. Skip this if your organization runs databases on a single cloud provider and lacks complex regulatory requirements; Guardium's value compounds with infrastructure diversity and compliance complexity, making it oversized for simpler deployments.
Odaseva Data Encryption for Salesforce
Mid-market and enterprise security teams with regulated customer data in Salesforce will find Odaseva Data Encryption valuable for field-level encryption without gutting search functionality, a constraint that kills most vault approaches. The combination of client-side encryption, fine-grained access controls mapped to roles and locations, and real-time SIEM monitoring covers PR.DS and PR.AA in NIST CSF 2.0 thoroughly. Skip this if your org needs encryption that also handles related objects or custom metadata; Odaseva encrypts fields, not relationships, so your data model complexity will determine whether that's a dealbreaker.
