Overview
Protecto is an API-first data protection platform that helps engineering teams identify, tokenize, mask, and safely handle sensitive data across applications, data pipelines, and GenAI workflows.
Protecto lets you replace sensitive values — names, emails, phone numbers, IDs, and financial data — with secure, consistent tokens, while keeping data usable for analytics, logging, debugging, and AI inference.
Protecto sits directly in your application flow. You call the API where data enters or leaves your system, and Protecto handles detection, masking, and optional unmasking under strict authorization.
