Who Needs Managed Data Protection? (Hint: Probably You)
If you store customer, patient, or employee data, you carrymaterial risk. MDP packages the controls that reduce that risk—encryption,keys, access, evidence—so your teams can focus on features, not cryptoplumbing.
Five Signs You’re Ready for MDP
- Multiple clouds/SaaS and no single place to govern keys orsee decrypt activity.
- Compliance drag: SOC 2, HIPAA, PCI, GDPR, state privacylaws—each audit cycle feels bespoke.
- Backups untested or no proof they restore cleanly after anattack.
- Shadow IT: systems holding sensitive data withoutstandardized encryption or approvals.
- Overstretched IT/Sec: seniors spending cycles on manual keyops or ad hoc reports.
Quick Self-Assessment (Score 0–2 each)
- Encryption coverage of sensitivedatasets
- Key governance (HSM backed,rotation calendar, approvals)
- Evidence readiness(logs/dashboards reusable across audits)
- Backup immutability & testedrestores
- Developer friction (low friction =higher score)
