Endpoint Protector: sovereignty score and 8 European alternatives

Endpoint Protector is a product for data loss prevention (DLP) and device control on workstations. It supports Windows, macOS and Linux and offers, among other things, control of USB and peripheral devices, content-aware protection of sensitive data, enforced encryption and eDiscovery. It is delivered as SaaS, as a cloud deployment on AWS, Microsoft Azure or Google Cloud, or as a virtual appliance in OVF and VHD formats. It is an alternative to the DLP and device-control functions of, for example, Microsoft Purview.

The product comes from CoSoSys, founded in 2004 with an office in Cluj-Napoca, Romania. According to its privacy policy, CoSoSys Group is headquartered in Raleigh, United States, and since February 2024 the company has been part of the US company Netwrix. The product is now called Endpoint Protector by Netwrix. The vendor does not publish a fixed hosting location for the cloud service; the privacy policy states that data may also be processed outside the EEA, with standard contractual clauses as a safeguard. Organisations that want to keep data in Europe can run the virtual appliance themselves.

Why digital sovereignty matters with Endpoint Protector

Endpoint Protector is headquartered in the United States. US vendors fall under the CLOUD Act and FISA 702: US authorities can compel access to data, even when that data sits in a European data centre. That is the core of the jurisdictional exposure in our model.

Endpoint Protector hosts data outside the EU (US). Personal data therefore leaves the EU, which requires a transfer mechanism under the GDPR and pulls the data residency score down.

Endpoint Protector is closed source and hosted by the vendor. The encryption keys and the runtime sit with the vendor and switching requires data migration. Ask about bring-your-own-key, export options and open standards.

What this means for your organisation depends on your whole stack and context. The free assessment weighs Endpoint Protector together with your other vendors and gives a total score, a heatmap and the main risk drivers.
