Côntrol™
Zero-Trust Data Protection + Enforcement that Travels
Côntrol™ is a zero-trust data protection platform that lets the data owner enforce access and usage policies on sensitive files and messages—even after they’ve been shared outside the organization. Instead of relying on perimeter security or “secure links,” Côntrol packages content into a protected container and applies identity + policy checks at the moment of access, so you can control who opens the data, where/when it can be opened, and what recipients can do with it (copy/print/save/forward)—with the ability to revoke access at any time.

Access & Usage Rights
Your data. Your rules.
Even after it’s shared.
-
Control WHO can access your data.
-
Control WHEN they can access your data with time fencing.
-
Control WHERE they can access your data with geofencing.
-
Enforce HOW your data is used by restricting recipients ability to forward, copy, print, and/or save.
-
REVOKE access at any time—or set it to expire automatically.
-
SHRED vaults so that no one can open them.
Zero-Trust Architecture
Share your data without surrendering it.
Your Sensitive Data Never Touches Our Server
Côntrol is designed so the protected content stays in the secure container and is never uploaded to DataRock servers. Our servers are used for identity/policy validation and access enforcement only.
Secure Vaults
Côntrol wraps sensitive messages and attachments into a secure container that travels like a normal file but stays policy-bound. Access decisions happen at open time, so the owner can enforce who can open it, when/where, and what actions are allowed. The container can be attached to email, uploaded to collaboration tools, or stored on shared drives while retaining the same controls.
Transient Symmetric Key Technology (TSKT)
Instead of relying on long-lived keys, Côntrol uses ephemeral (transient) symmetric keys to keep the decryption window short and tightly tied to policy. This reduces the blast radius if credentials are compromised or a container is forwarded beyond the intended recipient.
Customer-Controlled Keys
In our high-security model, the customer can keep control of one key component (or key custody) via an HSM (Hardware Security Module), so decryption requires customer-controlled key participation—strengthening sovereignty and reducing reliance on any single provider.
Audit Trails
Track who has it.
Track when it is accessed.
Côntrol is built for enforceable governance. Each access attempt can be evaluated against policy and recorded to support security operations and compliance needs. Typical audit value includes:
-
Who attempted access (authorized vs denied)
-
When access occurred (or was blocked)
-
Policy decisions applied (expiration, location rules, DRM restrictions, revoke events)
-
Administrative actions (policy updates, revocations, device blocks)
Use Cases
Who needs Côntrol - everyone!
Defense Contractor Collaboration
Securely share technical packages, drawings, bids, and mission artifacts with primes, subs, and government stakeholders while retaining enforcement. Use geofencing/time fencing and revoke controls to reduce risk from forwarded attachments, compromised inboxes, and distributed teams.
Healthcare PHI Sharing
Protect PHI shared across clinical operations, billing, claims, and third-party services. Apply DRM controls to prevent casual leakage, enforce expiration for “one-time use” exchanges, and revoke access immediately when recipients change roles or a disclosure risk is detected.
Critical Infrastructure Operations
Control distribution of sensitive operational data (diagrams, maintenance logs, incident reports, vulnerability findings) across plants, field teams, contractors, and regulators. Enforce access by device/location, limit reuse of files, and preserve audit records for incident response and compliance.
Compliance Alignment
Designed to support regulated and mission environments.where data handling must be demonstrable—not implied.
-
FIPS 140-3: Built using modern cryptographic practices and designed for environments requiring FIPS-aligned controls. (If you pursue formal validation, this section can be updated to reflect certification scope.)
-
CMMC / DoD Zero Trust: Supports zero-trust access patterns and controlled sharing aligned with protecting CUI and reducing exfiltration risk across organizational boundaries.
-
ITAR/EAR: Location- and time-based enforcement plus identity-bound access helps support export-control constraints and “need-to-know” sharing with partners/contractors.
-
HIPAA: Enables tighter control over PHI distribution and helps reduce unauthorized disclosure by enforcing revocation and limiting copy/print/save behaviors.
-
GDPR: Supports principles like data minimization and access governance through expiration, revocation, and auditability—helpful for demonstrating appropriate safeguards and reducing exposure.
