Content Reconciliation
Track, audit, and reconcile every capture to help ensure complete, defensible records across your archive and capture environment.
Social Media Compliance
Monitor, remediate, and report on static and dynamic social media content with automated workflows, intelligent classifiers, and centralized oversight.
AI-Powered Investigations
Accelerate investigations with natural-language search, AI-generated summaries, and evidence-backed findings across communications and business data.
Compliance Suite for SMBs
Deploy a single solution for compliant capture, retention, search, and discovery, with audit-ready reporting and WORM-compliant storage.
DATA SECURITY POSTURE MANAGEMENT
Discover, classify, and protect sensitive data across cloud and hybrid environments without moving data or installing agents. See data attack paths, prioritize risks by monetary value, and remediate over-permissioned access, misconfigurations, and data sprawl in one platform.
AI-Powered Discovery and Classification
Find IP, source code and financial and strategic documents that regex and pattern matching miss.
Risk Visualization and Prioritization
Find excessive access, risky sharing, and misconfigurations, ranked by data value and attack paths, mapped to 500+ compliance frameworks.
Exposure Reduction and Access Governance
Reduce data sprawl by identifying forgotten, duplicate, and orphaned data while remediating excessive and dormant access to sensitive information.
INSIDER RISK MANAGEMENT
Monitor user activity across email, cloud apps, and endpoints, and understand the motive behind the behavior. Catch data theft by departing employees, sabotage, and risky activity early, with full visibility and evidence to investigate incidents and prevent data loss.
User Activity Monitoring
Monitor user behavior and activity in real time across endpoints, browsers, cloud, and email.
Communications Insights
Understand intent and motive by analyzing workplace communications for early risk signals.
Investigation and Evidence
Capture metadata and optional screenshots, with exportable evidence for HR, legal, and compliance.
Endpoint Prevention
Block data exfiltration via USB, web upload, cloud sync, and print, with in-the-moment user nudges.
Privacy by Design
Protect user privacy with anonymization, content masking, and role-based access control.
Strengthen your data security and governance program with expert advisory, co-management, and operational support based on a NIST-inspired data governance framework.
WHY ORGANIZATIONS CHOOSE PROOFPOINT
| Capabilities | Traditional Data Security | Proofpoint Data Security |
|---|---|---|
| Unified platform | Relies on separate point products with disconnected workflows | Unifies DLP, DSPM, insider threat management, and AI data security in one platform |
| AI security and governance | Focuses on traditional data channels with limited AI-specific protection and governance | Protects and governs sensitive data across GenAI prompts, Copilot, AI agents, and AI workflows with continuous visibility and control |
| Sensitive data discovery | Depends on limited discovery or periodic assessments | Continuously discovers, classifies, and prioritizes sensitive data across cloud and hybrid environments |
| Human risk visibility | Focuses on policy violations with limited behavioral insight | Combines user behavior with data context to identify risky activity before data loss |
| Data exposure remediation | Requires manual coordination across multiple tools and teams | Prioritizes risk and remediates excessive access, misconfigurations, and data exposure from one platform |
| Cross-channel protection | Protects individual channels with inconsistent policy enforcement | Applies consistent policies across email, endpoints, cloud apps, data stores, and AI |
| Communications governance | Requires separate archiving, supervision, and eDiscovery point tools disconnected from core data security | Unifies archiving, supervision, and eDiscovery across 80+ channels, including social and AI-enabled messaging |
"The simple, consistent set of rules makes it easier to customize solutions according to our environments."

More ways to strengthen your data security and governance program
A data security and governance platform helps organizations find and protect sensitive information, understand how people use it, and retain communications for compliance and legal needs.
Modern platforms bring together capabilities such as data loss prevention (DLP), data security posture management (DSPM), insider threat management (ITM), AI data security, and digital communications governance (DCG). This gives security, IT, legal, and compliance teams one place to reduce risk and simplify operations.
These technologies solve different parts of the same data security challenge.
Together, they help organizations discover sensitive data, control how it moves, understand how people interact with it, and maintain defensible records across communication channels.
Organizations discover and classify sensitive data by continuously scanning cloud services, SaaS applications, data stores, and endpoints. This is a core function of data security posture management (DSPM).
DSPM identifies where sensitive data resides, who can access it, and how it is being used. It helps security teams reduce data exposure, remediate excessive access, and support compliance across cloud environments.
Protecting sensitive data in AI starts with visibility. Organizations need to understand what employees share through prompts, uploads, and AI-generated responses.
Modern AI data security solutions monitor AI activity, detect sanctioned and shadow AI use, and block or redact sensitive information before it reaches AI models. This helps organizations adopt AI safely while reducing data risk.
Digital communications governance (DCG) helps organizations capture, retain, supervise, and discover business communications across email, chat, mobile, social media, and AI-enabled channels.
Organizations use DCG to meet regulatory requirements, support legal hold and eDiscovery, preserve business records, and supervise employee communications. Combined with DLP, DSPM, and ITM, DCG helps reduce risk across security and compliance programs.
