Getting a list of protected DPs in your hierarchy

I was recently asked if there was a way, via the SDK, to list out all your protected DPs and their configured boundaries. I found that this information is available using the SDK but not easily accessible. I have attached a script that is an example of how to do this. It lists out all DPs in your hierarchy, identifies whether they are protected, and then lists any configured boundaries.
