About Datacloak

Established in 2018 by founder and CEO Chao Liu, Datacloak is a data security firm headquartered in Shenzhen, China. The company operates on a Zero Trust security framework, aiming to protect enterprise data in motion. Since its inception, Datacloak has achieved significant financial milestones, securing a total of $96 million over four funding rounds. Its first funding round occurred in 2018, followed by a Series A in January 2020 for $13 million, a Series B in January 2021 for $28 million, and a subsequent Series B+ round in September 2021 for $50 million, led by Tiger Global. The company has attracted a notable list of institutional investors, including Matrix Partners China, Green Pine Capital Partners, Hillhouse Investment Group, and CoStone Capital.

Datacloak's core offering is its Zero Trust Adaptive Secure Computing Platform (DACS), which creates dynamic and secure virtual workspaces for enterprises. This platform is designed to allow employees to access business data securely from any location and at any time. It functions by creating an isolated, kernel-level secure sandbox on user terminals, effectively separating personal and enterprise workspaces. This approach addresses the challenges of data leakage and unauthorized access, particularly relevant in environments with remote work and cloud computing. The DACS platform integrates infrastructure, cryptography, and AI technologies to provide a unified data security solution that spans endpoints, clouds, and edges. It offers features such as high-strength disk encryption, secure data transmission channels, software-defined data flow perimeters, and AI-driven adaptive security policies for fine-grained access control.

The business model centers on providing these data security solutions as a service, targeting large enterprises across industries like finance, technology, and manufacturing. Clients utilize Datacloak's products for scenarios such as securing outsourced research and development, source code protection, and ensuring data security in call centers. The company's products, including DACS Pro and DACS Lite, support all major operating systems and are compatible with local data centers and major cloud providers like AWS, Ali Cloud, and Tencent Cloud. In September 2023, Datacloak expanded its product line by releasing DACS Data+, a middleware focused on the secure flow and governance of unstructured data.
