# Protecto

An AI data control plane that detects, masks, and governs sensitive data across LLMs, agents, and AI pipelines.

**Route:** surfaced by the AI Development and Deployment Infrastructure lane's de-branded queries → substitute to vercel.com.

**Why it's on the map:** A buyer evaluating the anchor (Vercel's AI cloud for building and deploying agentic workloads) could choose Protecto's data governance layer instead and handle security themselves, making the anchor's built-in AI data controls unnecessary.

**Receipts** (verbatim from its page this run):

> Protecto integrates across your AI stack to protect enterprise data wherever it flows

> It detects sensitive information, masks it in real time, enforces who sees what, and logs everything

> Decides what to allow, mask, block, minimize, or selectively reveal
