Where Confidencial Fits

There are 4 things data security must do. The market is failing at 3 of them.

Security is strong inside systems. It breaks the moment data moves beyond them.

Know what matters

IMPROVING

Identify and classify sensitive data across systems.

Covered byDSPMs, classification tools

The limitThey tell you what's exposed. They don't fix it.

Control access

WEAK

Govern who can reach what.

Covered byIAM, ZTNA, SSO

The limitWorks inside systems. Breaks the moment data moves beyond them.

Protect the data itself

BROKEN

Encryption at the object level, not the perimeter.

Covered byPoint-in-time controls only

The limitUnstructured data — documents, contracts, submissions — travels unprotected.

Maintain control after it moves

BROKEN

Revoke, audit, and enforce after sharing.

Covered byNo market solution

The limitOnce shared, it's gone. No consistent control mechanism exists in the current category.

!Data loses protection the moment it's shared.

!AI consumes sensitive data without enforcement.

!Third parties introduce persistent blind spots.

The Honest Assessment

Your existing tools are doing their jobs. Those jobs don't cover what's broken.

The tools in your stack were designed to solve real problems. They solve them. What they weren't designed to do is follow data out the door, and that's exactly where protection fails.

Tool	What it solves	Where it stops	What Confidencial does instead
DLP	Blocks data from leaving monitored channels, such as email, web, upload flows.	Stops at the channel boundary. Data that exits a monitored path is unprotected.	Secures data at the field level, even after it leaves the monitored environment.
DSPM	Maps and classifies sensitive data across environments. Labels what's exposed.	Classification without enforcement. Tells you what's at risk. Doesn't fix it.	Turns DSPM labels into cryptographic action. What they tagged, we protect.
AI Governance	Sets policy over data used in AI models. Dashboards, rules, audit logs.	Policy and dashboards. Can't enforce what enters the model at ingestion.	Applies protection before ingestion. Sensitive fields never reach the model.
Data Rooms REPLACED	Stores files for collaboration and diligence in a contained environment.	Protection ends when the room closes. Downloaded files are unprotected.	Governed environments with persistent access control and post-delivery revocation built in.
E-sign & Sharing REPLACED	Enables recipients to access shared documents. Tracks opens and signatures.	No persistent protection. Once shared, uncontrolled.	Protection travels with the file. Revocable after delivery. Logged on every open.

The Answer

Data-level protection. Enforced everywhere it goes.

Confidencial doesn't add another monitoring layer. It adds the one thing the rest of the stack was never designed to provide: cryptographic protection embedded in the data itself, enforceable wherever it travels, revocable after it leaves.

Without Confidencial

At rest

In transit

In motion

In use

The lock detaches at every boundary.

With Confidencial

At rest

In transit

In motion

In use

The lock stays attached through all four moments.

Data at rest, unprotected———>Discover + Shield

Documents leaving the organization———>Exchange + Spaces

Files moving through pipelines———>Pipeline

Data entering AI systems———>AI Guard

Consolidation

One platform can replace multiple vendor contracts.

Data-level security eliminates the tech debt of point tools that don't talk to each other. Confidencial replaces data rooms, file transfer, e-sign, and AI governance bolt-ons, while complementing the DLP and DSPM investments you've already made.

Tools This Replaces

Confidencial also complements your existing investments in DLP, DSPM, and identity providers.

Unlock AI safely

Train and run models without leaking PHI, trade secrets, or customer data. Governed access and traceability for models, users, and partners — none of them see what they shouldn't.

Reduce risk durably

Data stays encrypted even after exfiltration. Insider and third-party access governed at the file level, not the folder level. A breach becomes a non-event.

Cut stack cost

Consolidate data rooms, file transfer, e-sign, and AI governance into one contract. Eliminate overlapping vendor coverage where Confidencial's scope makes them redundant.

The attack is certain. What they get isn't.

Bad actors move faster than the tools built to detect them. The only durable answer is protection that doesn't depend on stopping the attack, it makes the data worthless when they get through.
