They don't break in they log in. Confidencial locks sensitive data down to the field, so only the people who need it can read it. The day someone leaves, you revoke their access everywhere with one clicen on files already sitting on a device you don't control.
From the day access is granted to the week after someone leaves, sensitive data is exposed at every step, and offboarding never reaches the copies already made.
Five phases. One encryption layer. Access ends when the badge does.
From first scan to full coverage. No re-architecture. No new workflow for your team.
Confidencial scans OneDrive, Drive, SharePoint, S3, and on-prem shares. Built-in classifiers surface sensitive files automatically; you see what’s exposed before someone else does.
Selective encryption targets specific fields inside a file. The employee sees their department, not a colleague’s salary. The file stays usable; the sensitive content stays controlled.
Policy decides who reads which fields and when. Time-limited access for contractors, role-restricted visibility across clearance levels, and access expires automatically when an engagement ends.
Encryption travels with the data, so you revoke access from any device at any time. Encrypted fields lock instantly: no endpoint agent, no file return, no need to know where it went.
AI Guard protects sensitive content before it reaches any AI workflow: Copilot, ChatGPT, Gemini. The analyst keeps the tool. The model gets context. The sensitive field never enters the log.
Insider defense comes down to two moves: only the right people can read sensitive fields, and the moment someone leaves, you can take that access away on any device. Try both.
UEBA flags behavior. DLP blocks uploads. CASB logs the session. None protect what’s inside the file once it’s opened, moved, or pasted. Confidencial does.
| Scenario | UEBA | DLP | CASB | Confidencial |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Employee downloads files before resigning | ✕ Detects the anomaly after the fact. File is already gone. | ~May flag the volume. Can’t protect content once downloaded. | ~Logs the session. No protection on the local copy. | ✓Encryption travels with the file. Access revoked remotely on any device. |
| Contractor retains files after the engagement ends | ✕No visibility once offboarded. | ✕Cloud access revoked. Local copy is permanent. | ✕Session ended. File already on their hardware. | ✓Encrypted fields lock instantly on revocation. No endpoint agent required. |
| Employee pastes sensitive data into an AI tool | ✕Behavioral signal only. Clipboard content invisible. | ~Some tools block file uploads. Can’t intercept prompts. | ~May log the session. Can’t inspect prompt content. | ✓AI Guard enforces least-privilege access at the span level before ingestion |
| Prove access control in an audit or investigation | ~Alert logs show anomalies. Not field-level. | ~Upload and block logs. Can’t prove what was seen. | ~Session activity only. No document-level custody. | ✓Cryptographic trail, including field-level access by identity, time, and device. |
UEBA sees the pattern. DLP watches the upload. CASB logs the session. None of them protect the data once it’s on a device you don’t control. Confidencial is the only layer that follows the file.
Two former employees of a major automaker carried roughly 100GB of internal data to a foreign newspaper, including the personal records of more than 75,000 current and former staff. They had legitimate access the whole time.
Access was the only control, and access wasn’t the problem. Nothing technical governed what a credentialed insider could copy, export, or carry out. By the time it surfaced, the data was already in someone else’s hands.
“The files can still walk out. The data inside them can’t be read.”
Selective encryption and revocable access don’t depend on trust. Salary fields, the client roster, manufacturing specs - encrypted at the object level, readable only by role, revocable the moment the badge is deactivated. With Confidencial, every file becomes self-defending: automatically encrypted, access-controlled, and traceable, so insider misuse is stopped before it happens.
Compensation files. Client records. IP. Source code. Which of those are fully readable on a device you no longer control? The Data Exposure Assessment answers it in 20 minutes. Most teams are surprised by what they find.
