Selective Encryption for Sensitive Data in Documents and AI Workflows

Confidencial is an enterprise data protection company that secures sensitive information within unstructured documents such as PDFs, Word files, spreadsheets, presentations, and images. Its patented selective encryption approach protects only the sensitive elements like specific words, paragraphs, cells, or pixels while leaving the rest of the document accessible, so security controls do not interrupt normal business workflows or document usability.

The platform combines data discovery and classification across hybrid and multicloud environments with encryption that travels with each document wherever it moves. Product capabilities include secure document sharing, requesting, and e-signature workflows, alongside AI Guard, which protects datasets used in generative AI pipelines. Activity logging and audit trails support compliance with regulations and frameworks including HIPAA, PCI-DSS, and GDPR for organizations handling regulated data.

Confidencial targets security, GRC, legal, privacy, and AI teams in regulated sectors such as financial services, healthcare, pharmaceuticals and biotech, insurance, legal, and critical infrastructure. The company's technology traces its origins to research conducted at SRI International with DARPA backing, where the underlying methods were developed to protect sensitive government data. It holds certifications including ISO/IEC 27001:2022 and SOC 2 Type 2.
