Privacera Data Security Platform
Fremont, California, United States
What it is
Privacera Data Security Platform provides tools to identify sensitive information and manage access across an organization’s data estate. Its discovery capability classifies structured and unstructured data, including ML-assisted classification, while exposure and permission analysis help examine risk and access. Administrators can create role-, attribute-, and tag-based policies at database, table, row, column, object, file, and field levels. The platform supports masking and encryption at table, column, row, field, or attribute level, and provides audit trails, usage reports, and access monitoring. It runs on customer infrastructure, either on premises or in a customer cloud account. Listed integrations include Databricks, Snowflake, Amazon S3, Azure Data Lake Storage, Amazon EMR, and Amazon Redshift. Open APIs support custom data-source connections and catalog classifications from Collibra, Alation, and BigID. Authentication options include SSO and LDAP, with SAML 2.0, OAuth, Okta, Ping Identity, OneLogin, and Microsoft Active Directory. Privacera offers a free 30-day PrivaceraCloud trial; pricing is available on request.
