Confidencial Inc announces availability of public beta.

Confidencial Inc, today announced the release of its public beta. Users will be able to selectively encrypt documents, spreadsheets, presentations, and many other formats, and limit the visibility of the content in them to specific individuals or groups, ensuring secure collaboration both inside and outside of the organization.
Confidencial has developed a seamless solution that integrates directly into leading business applications. An entire document can be encrypted through a single click, or portions of a document can be encrypted specifically for select individuals. Multiple versions of a single document will no longer be necessary as sections of documents can be encrypted to be viewed only by specified parties. Confidencial is a zero-trust solution with a distributed key management infrastructure and will never have access to an organization’s sensitive information. Confidencial’s integration into business applications means native file formats and file extensions are retained, and existing workflows for the creation, storage, and distribution of sensitive information are not disrupted.
The Observability Dashboard is an additional layer of security and compliance, creating an audit trail of all document access.
Since releasing its private beta in August of 2022, Confidencial has seen steady growth in the number of organizations looking to protect sensitive information such as Personal Identifiable Information (PII) and corporate intellectual property (IP). It has quickly gained traction within the financial services, life sciences, and defense sectors due to its focus on unstructured information, ease of use, selective encryption, and ability to track access to documents.

Confidencial’s public beta can be accessed from the Confidencial website and the Microsoft app store.
No need to create multiple versions of redacted documents. Confidencial gives you the ability to encrypt an entire document with the click of a button, or selectively encrypt sections of a document to multiple individuals who can only decrypt the information they are authorized to view.
Encryption and decryption happen within the native business application.
Original document format and extension are preserved, and documents can be viewed in their native business applications*. (* with the exception of PDF)
Store documents as you do today.
Confidencial provides a unique web application to encrypt/decrypt virtually any file format such as audio, video, and photos.
Confidencial’s observability dashboard provides detailed audit trail information of all encryption decryption events occurring inside and outside your organization.
A single solution that works across desktop, mobile, and web-based applications.
Confidential never has access to your keys, and because your content is housed in existing storage systems (e.g., SharePoint, Box), Confidential never has access to your information.
