The problem is not what happens to your data on the mainframe. The problem is what happens when it leaves. When z/OS production data gets copied to development, test, cloud, or analytics environments, IBM's Pervasive Encryption no longer applies. That data is exposed. In most organizations it has been accumulating that way for decades, with no clear picture of what sensitive data exists, where it moved, or whether it is protected. PK Protect for z/OS closes that gap. As an IBM Partner Plus with four decades of mainframe expertise, PKWARE delivers the only solution purpose-built to discover and protect sensitive data on IBM Z, in motion and at rest, whether or not it stays on the mainframe. What it does: PK Protect for z/OS automatically discovers sensitive data across VSAM clusters, sequential, partitioned, and tape data sets using your own application data definitions and copybooks for maximum accuracy. The entire discovery process runs on the mainframe, with no copies left behind and sensitive data staying 100% on-premises. Persistent encryption travels with data as it moves out of z/OS, so protection holds regardless of where the data lands SchemaLink Technology: PK Protect for z/OS includes SchemaLink, which provides discovery support for z/OS datasets with or without copybooks. It is the only solution in the industry that delivers this level of flexibility for mainframe data structures, eliminating manual mapping and dramatically reducing discovery time. Who it's built for: Mainframe security, compliance, and modernization teams at large enterprises in financial services, insurance, government, and healthcare who need accurate visibility into decades of accumulated z/OS data and persistent protection that follows data beyond the mainframe. Compliance and modernization: Supports PCI DSS, HIPAA, GDPR, GLBA, and FISMA with automated reporting and SBOM generation to accelerate audits. Protects sensitive data throughout modernization initiatives as workloads migrate to cloud and hybrid environments. In one risk assessment, PK Protect scanned 504 million VSAM records and found that 88% contained vulnerable sensitive data.
