MDP consolidates tools and expertise into one program. You get consistent protection, predictable costs, and clear proof—while staying agile.

Benefits

• Lower total cost & complexity vs. DIY stacks.
• Consistent coverage across clouds, SaaS, and on‑prem.
• Audit velocity through reusable reporting/evidence.
• Risk reduction from governed keys and anomaly detection.
• Recovery confidence with immutable backups and tested restores.

Downsides / Considerations

• Subscription commitment: offset by reduced CapEx and team effort.
• Vendor diligence: validate certifications, processes, and exit plans.
• Change management: align teams to centralized policies and approvals.

Build vs. Buy (Simple Decision Guide)

• Build if you have crypto engineers, 24×7 operations, and a long runway.
• Buy (MDP) if you need fast, defensible outcomes and predictable Opex.

What’s Next (Near‑Term Roadmap)

• AI‑assisted policy recommendations from observed usage and findings.
• Deeper compliance integrations (control mapping and auto‑evidence).
• Crypto agility and PQC‑ready rotation strategies.
• Tenant‑controlled keys across more SaaS ecosystems.
