Data-centric security classification solutions for US Government and Defense Contractors

Enforcing Data-Level Zero Trust Across Classified and Coalition Environments

National governments and defence organisations face significant risks when sharing information between parties. Contractors incur significant penalties for failing to assess information sensitivity appropriately and if their assessment failures trigger an information spill across the supply chain.

Defence contractors handling export-controlled data must continuously adapt to changing technical control frameworks depending on the different programs and jurisdictions, and non-compliance carries severe penalties. This regulatory complexity directly translates into operational challenges for these organisations.

Applying visible labels and matching metadata tagging is critical to enable and strengthen zero-trust strategies so organizations can enhance security measures, comply with regulatory requirements, and make informed decisions about data handling.

Defense operations rely heavily on seamless, secure collaboration among national and international partners. Central to this security is data classification, a powerful enabler of effective access control, operational success, and adherence to the data-centric element of zero trust principles.

Data-centric security is recognized as the best model for information of national importance.

Data-centric data classification is a fast, proven cornerstone to help organizations support zero trust architectures.
