Kiteworks is taking a major step forward in redefining secure data exchange and storage with two key developments: the launch of its Private Data Network (PDN) and a new integration with
Wasabi Technologies. Together, these innovations address growing demands from organizations across regulated sectors for centralized, cost-effective, and secure data management.
While the
Kiteworks–Wasabi partnership delivers measurable reductions in storage costs, the PDN extends that value by unifying and securing all sensitive data interactions across people, systems, and machines. The result is a single, governed environment that simplifies compliance, reduces risk, and gives organizations full visibility into how their data moves and is accessed.
Centralized Data Protection with the Private Data Network
The
Kiteworks PDN brings all inbound and outbound data exchanges—email, file transfers, web forms, and more—under a centralized security and compliance framework. It builds on the company’s legacy Private Content Network (PCN), evolving into a more robust architecture purpose-built for today’s zero-trust, multi-framework compliance world.
With 70% of enterprises needing to adhere to at least six security frameworks and over 60% experiencing breaches via third parties, fragmented data flows represent a serious vulnerability. The PDN addresses this by consolidating data governance into a unified system that applies policy, monitors movement, and enables responsive action across the entire data lifecycle.
A Closer Look at PDN Capabilities
At its core, the PDN is driven by an advanced policy engine that supports leading frameworks such as NIST CSF, GDPR, HIPAA, CCPA, PCI DSS, and CMMC. This engine enables organizations to enforce role- and attribute-based access controls tailored to their regulatory needs.
The platform secures email communications, manages internal and external file sharing, and supports compliant web form submissions—all while generating immutable audit logs and automated reports. Additional features include metadata management, double encryption for data at rest, real-time threat monitoring, and automated incident response.
Expansion suites such as the Integration Suite, Sovereign Access Suite, and MFT Suite extend these capabilities—connecting enterprise systems, supporting VPN-free access to internal content, and enabling high-speed managed file transfers at scale.
Bringing It All Together with Wasabi
The PDN becomes even more powerful when paired with Wasabi’s hot cloud storage. By integrating Wasabi’s low-cost, high-performance storage with Kiteworks’ secure file transfer and governance tools, organizations gain a solution that not only unifies data movement but does so affordably and at scale.
This joint offering helps reduce total cost of ownership by cutting cloud storage expenses—up to 80% less than traditional providers—while layering in robust security and compliance protections. Wasabi’s FedRAMP Ready status aligns with Kiteworks’ long-standing certifications, enabling government, healthcare, and financial institutions to meet the strictest compliance mandates.
A Win for Regulated Industries and MSPs
The combined solution is particularly valuable for organizations in healthcare, finance, government, and legal services—sectors where sensitive data is the norm and regulatory compliance is critical. It also offers a strategic opportunity for managed service providers (MSPs), who can now offer differentiated services that go beyond basic storage and into value-added governance and risk management.
By simplifying onboarding, automating secure workflows, and consolidating oversight, the Kiteworks–Wasabi integration empowers teams to manage the full data lifecycle with confidence. From collaboration to compliance, and from cost-efficiency to control, this partnership positions organizations to meet modern data challenges with clarity and confidence.
