Vlad Klasnja

Enterprise Data Protection Architect/Consultant

I've spent 25 years designing data protection architectures for enterprises As Data Protection Architect at IGC, I design and recommend data protection stacks across industries. We don't manufacture or resell products. When I tell a client a DSPM vendor's classification accuracy will land closer to 75% than the 95% on the datasheet, it's because I've seen it deployed, not because I have a competing product to push. I learned how vendors position, what they oversell, and where the gaps really are. That rare vendor-side insight combined with buyer-side empathy shapes everything I do. My domain runs deep in DSPM, DLP, CASB, data governance, and cloud security across AWS, Azure, and GC, plus the emerging challenge of securing AI/ML data pipelines most security teams haven't mapped yet. Every recommendation I make ties to a business outcome, not a technology trend. I prioritize integration over point solutions, insist on TCO transparency, and design for reversibility, because vendor lock-in is an architectural risk most organizations don't price in until it's too late.
