Enterprise Metadata Interoperability
Keep confidentiality and releasability metadata intact between systems and controls.
The Metadata Interoperability Gap
Defense and national security agencies are moving toward data-centric security and Zero Trust, but many programs encounter the same hidden obstacle: security decisions increasingly require trusted, machine-readable metadata, while enterprise and warfighter environments still contain inconsistent, incomplete, or incompatible metadata across a vast array of legacy files, documents, email, repositories, gateways, endpoints, and collaboration platforms.
The metadata interoperability gap is the disconnect between how different systems label, interpret and exchange security metadata. Ensuring classification labels have the same meaning across systems and boundaries is just as important as the networks that carry the information.
Broken metadata introduces three major risks:
​
-
Program risk, where interoperability failures cause delays, rework, and cost overruns
-
Security risk, where controls act on incomplete or ambiguous classification information
-
Operational risk, where delays in sharing information can impact mission outcomes.
Close the Gap with Janusnet Accord
Janusnet Accord is a Data-Centric Security Interoperability Service. It reads, normalizes and translates security classification metadata from different formats, keeping it intact, trustworthy and machine-readable as data moves between systems, security controls, networks and allied partners.
​
Janusnet Accord bridges the gap between target standards such as ACP 240 and NATO STANAG 4774/4778 and the systems that are in operation today, enabling a staged approach to data-centric security and reducing program, security and operational risk.

Solutions for Data-Centric and Hybrid Security Architectures
Multi-policy comprehension: Understands NATO STANAG, FVEY/ACP240, national, and enterprise classification policies.
Standards-based labeling: Creates, validates, and transforms confidentiality labels between formats.
Metadata binding: Reads/writes STANAG 4778 bindings for email and files and converts between proprietary and standard formats.
Policy translation: Translates between different classification policies and supports alternative confidentiality metadata labels.
Policy enforcement enablement: Exposes metadata and applies transformations to meet downstream security control requirements.
