Manage and Mitigate Third-Party Data Risk With Confidence
Mitigate Third-Party Risk
Third-party collaboration should never cost you control. Confidencial protects your most sensitive files before, during, and after they’re shared.
Embed encryption, access controls, and audit trails directly into your files. Protection stays active—no matter where your data ends up.
What Is Third-Party Data Risk?
The moment you share data with a vendor, contractor, or partner, you're exposed. Emails, upload portals, and file transfer tools don’t carry your security with them.
Common risks include:
Vendors storing files in unsecured cloud or personal drives
Contractors keeping access after projects are over
Documents being copied, forwarded, or reused without oversight

No visibility into where your data goes or how it's used
Third-party breaches that compromise your content
Real-World Breach: MOVEit File Transfer Attack
In 2023, attackers exploited a vulnerability in the MOVEit file transfer tool. Sensitive data was exposed from vendors, government agencies, and enterprises. Most had no visibility into what was shared or where it ended up.
Most security tools stop at your perimeter. Once a file is sent, you're blind—unless protection travels with the data. Confidencial gives you the control those organizations lacked.
How Confidencial Secures Data Shared with Third Parties
Confidencial embeds protection into the file itself. Even if your documents land in someone else’s system, you stay in control.
Our Approach
Secure File Exchange
Send or collect sensitive files through secure workflows. Encryption and auditability are built in. No plugins or apps required.
Persistent Protection
Files remain encrypted and access-controlled, regardless of where they’re stored or who opens them.
Granular Access Control
Restrict visibility by section, role, or recipient. Revoke access the moment risk appears or contracts end.
Full Visibility and Audit Trails
Monitor every file interaction across vendors, contractors, and agencies.
