The Problem

Small businesses face the same data risks as large enterprises.

Every time a customer gives your business their name, email, phone number, or payment details, you become responsible for protecting that information.

Large enterprises spend over $100,000 per year on governance tools. Small businesses have the same obligations but none of the same resources.

DataShield was built to close that gap.
