PK Protect SDK Encryption: Data-Centric Security in Your Applications

With PK Protect SDK, you don’t have to choose between security and productivity. It embeds encryption into the applications and workflows your teams use. Secure sensitive data and meet compliance requirements, without friction.

Trusted By Leading Organizations for Over 40 Years

Traditional encryption is disruptive.
Here’s why.

Broken Applications and Workflows

Applications and workflows can’t read or process encrypted files, causing processes to fail, which undermines productivity and automation.

Unencrypted Disk Exposure

For applications to function, encrypted data is decrypted and written to disk, creating periods where sensitive data is unencrypted and at risk.

Incomplete Platform Coverage

Many solutions lack support beyond Windows, macOS, and Linux, causing workflow failures when data moves to platforms like Unix or IBM i.

SDK Encryption at Scale

FISERV, one of the world’s largest financial services companies, uses PK Protect SDK for seamless encryption. They decrypt encrypted transaction data in-stream, allowing applications to read and process files without ever writing unencrypted data to disk. This ensures sensitive data remains protected on servers, reducing compliance scope and audit exposure.

“PKWARE is the backbone of our data protection strategy. With agents across all endpoints, we seamlessly encrypt and decrypt files while managing petabytes of data. For over 5 years, PKWARE has helped us meet audit requirements with confidence and trust.”

A Compliance Workflow Solution That Doesn’t Slow Down Business

Encryption in Applications

Allow authorized applications and users to consume data, enabling enterprise-wide automation and security.

Intact Workflows

Embed encrypt and decrypt operations within applications and workflows for secure access without breaking processes.

Zero Disk Exposure

Enable in-stream encryption and decryption, so sensitive data never has to be written to disk in an unencrypted state.

Encryption in Motion

Ensure data remains encrypted not only at rest but also as it moves between systems, servers, workflows, and applications.

Reduced Audit Scope

Minimize the number of systems considered in scope for regulations by keeping data encrypted during application processing.

Broad Platform Coverage

Protect data when used and shared across disparate platforms, ensuring consistent security and control across all environments without complexity.
