## About

Based in California, US, and founded in 2021 by co-founders Amar Kanagaraj and Baskaran Alagarsamy, Protecto Inc., specialising in data security solutions, is committed to ensuring privacy and compliance in the digital realm. In November 2023, Protecto Inc. raised USD 4 million in seed funding led by Together with participation from Better Capital, FortyTwo VC, Arali Ventures, and Speciale Invest.

The company's flagship products, Privacy Intelligence and Privacy Vault are designed to filter and secure prompts, retrofit enterprise models, and remove data protection risks during AI training and tuning. Protecto allows organisations to utilise advanced technologies like Gen AI, ChatGPT, and other publicly hosted AI models without compromising privacy or security. The company facilitates data sharing without sacrificing compliance, ensures the security of sensitive data in the cloud, and even enables the creation of synthetic data for testing purposes without compromising privacy or security.
