How does a process like KeePass protect its memory in Windows?

1

I am looking at KeePass and trying to figure out how it protects its memory exactly. Is it because the use of KeePassLib.Security.ProtectedBinary class for all it's memory allocations or is it clearing PROCESS_VM_READ permissions on the process? Or is it something else?

This is what process explorer shows*
